German regional handball pre‑season cups take place in Offenbach‑Bürgel and Söhlde

Eight teams, including the host Berler Bulls, TV Groß‑Umstadt and HSG Dotzheim/Schierstein, compete in a two‑day format with prize money of €150 for the champion. A second day features lower‑division sides in a round‑robin format for an additional €75 prize.

In the same month, SG Börde organizes the Börde Cup in Söhlde on August 22‑23. Four separate cups are contested: men’s A‑Cup and B‑Cup, and women’s A‑Cup and B‑Cup, all free to the public. Teams range from regional‑league clubs such as SG Börde II and HSG Twistetal to Oberliga and Verbandsliga sides. The tournament serves as a crucial härtetest before the upcoming handball season for both men’s and women’s squads.
