The winning team will feel like professionals: they will travel in the original THW team coach, move into the Zebras' dressing room at the Wunderino Arena and give interviews. They will then enter the large arena, play their regular league match and enjoy the unique atmosphere in the Kiel Arena. As a special highlight, the match will be broadcast live on the THW Kiel YouTube channel and on star.de. ‘Euer Topspiel’ offers amateur handball players an experience that has never been seen before in this form.
„We have been involved in both professional and amateur handball for many years. With “Euer Topspiel”, we combine competitive and amateur sport in a unique way and create an unforgettable experience for the winning club and its opponent. We are delighted to be implementing this special project together with our long-standing partner THW Kiel“, says Dariusz Kwieciński, Chief Executive Officer ORLEN Deutschland GmbH..
“Even for many professional handball players, playing a home game at the Wunderino Arena often remains a dream. Now, thanks to our joint commitment, an amateur team can fulfill this dream of ‘hitting the big time,’” says Viktor Szilagyi, managing director of THW Kiel, adding: “No matter which team ends up winning and playing its home game with its own fans on the big stage in Kiel, the real winner is the sport of handball, which will benefit from even closer ties between professional and amateur sports as a result of this campaign. We're keeping our fingers crossed for all the teams and look forward to hosting the top match together with a men's or women's team.”
The road to Wunderino Arena: Three phases to Euer Topspiel
In the first phase (6 October to 17 November 2025), teams that regularly play in the adult Oberliga or lower leagues register via the campaign website at www.star.de/topspiel. In the following casting phase, ORLEN Deutschland and THW Kiel review all submissions and select six clubs. Finally, the voting phase (8 to 21 December 2025) follows, in which the selected teams must collect as many votes as possible. Creativity is required here, as the clubs have to come up with something special to win the support of their fans. The club with the most votes wins the top match. The winner is scheduled to be announced on 22 December.
