2024 Bundesliga Win2day Season Preview: Team Arrivals, Departures, Goals, and Winner’s Tip

Here we go again: On Saturday, May 11, the Bundesliga win2day kicks off the new season at 11:00 am. 2024 will bring a couple of changes. For example, the main category will be hosted by a new main sponsor and name sponsor, main sponsor ÖTV win2day. What is also new is that the semi-finals will be held on June 22 this time, with home advantage for the group winners. Only the finals will be held in the autumn, that is September 7th or 8th. In every round of the group stage, a women’s and a man’s match from each match court will be broadcast live on ÖTV TV www.oetv.tv drawn. The lower matches, semi-finals and finals will also be shown live. (You can get an overview of the actual referral plan here.)

And a lot has changed among the teams as well. ÖTV contacted all the teams in advance to get all the information about the arrival, departure, goals and tip of the winner. Here’s how the team captains look at this year’s season:

DAMN

Group A

TC Bakl Weigelsdorf
Team captain: Thomas Christ
Additions: Jana Cepelová (Slovakia; former WTA number 50), Ema Lina Picorusevic (young, aspiring player), Eva-Maria Riml (experienced player from Tyrol)
Leaving:-
Goal for 2024: 3 new players were signed this year. In addition, Leonie Rabl is healthy again and, together with the famous players Veronika Bokor, Selina Pichler, Ines Faltinger, Reka-Luca Jani, Radka Zelnícková and Kristina Kucova, we will give everything to our n -a goal of consistently reaching top 4, as in previous years. Unfortunately Lisa-Marie Lausecker is injured again. At this stage, the club wishes you a speedy recovery.
Winner suggestion for 2024: As usual, Team LINZ AG Upper Austria.

Raiffeisenbank TC Bludenz
Team captain: Ajit Alexander
Additions: As new direct additions we have the Swiss Fiona Ganz, the Czech Denisa Pospísilová, the French Arina Amaning and Nicole Ranggetiner. Of course for us at the moment, we are building on last year’s stock. We can report that Denisa Sátralová (Czech Republic), who was injured last year, will be back in the team this year, appearing fit for the first time in Bludenz this weekend.
Members: Zdena Safárová (Czech Republic), Sara Yigin (Deutschland), Marie Mayerová (Czech Republic)
Aim 2024: Last year we didn’t reach the Final Four with a tie – this year we did, that’s the aim!
Winner suggestion for 2024: LINZ AG Upper Austria team renews, no one can keep up?!

Team LINZ AG Upper Austria
Team captain: Barbara Haas
Additions: Kathinka von Deichmann (Liechtenstein), Andreea Mitu (Romania), Tara Würth (Croatia)
Out: Weronika Falkowska (Poland)
Goal for 2024: We still don’t know who will be available, it depends on the players’ competitions. Our goal for 2024 is indeed to win again.
Winner suggestion for 2024:-

TC Sparkasse Kufstein
Team captain: Markus Erler
Additions: Emily Seibold (Germany), Clara Pinggera, Daniela Jordan
Out: Tanja Derowski (Germany)

BMTC-Brühl Mödlinger TC
Team Captain: Helmut Rothensteiner Jr.

Goal for 2024: Relegation
Winning tip for 2024: Team LINZ AG Upper Austria

Group B

Grazer Park Club
Team captain: Christian Granig
Additions: Oana Georgeta Simion (Romania), Silvia Njirić (Croatia), Viktoria Kurz, Anna Pircher (we were especially happy that this young player chose us, the Grazer Park Club)
Out: Polona Rebersak (Slovakia), Jasmin Buchta
Goal for 2024: semi-finals
Proposed winner for 2024: UTC Fischer Ried

1. Klosterneuburger TV

Abgänge: Jana Vrbová (Slovakia)
Goal for 2024: Relegation 😉
Winning tip for 2024: Team LINZ AG Upper Austria

UTC Fischer Ried
Team captain: Florian Reiter
Additions: Marie Vogt (Germany; born in 2005, reigning German U18 indoor champion), Christina Wolfgruber (born in Braunau, comes to hometown Innviertel from Bundesliga second team SG “Die Wachauer”), Anna Sattlegger (national player born in 2008, to be integrated step by step into the Bundesliga team)
Departing: Katleen Kanev (Germany; 2023 out of action, move to newly promoted TC Kitzbühel), Luzia Obermeier (Germany; moved to Upper Austrian League to TC Gmunden 1903 ), Daniela Glanzer (moved to her home country of Carinthia to the promoted 2nd Bundesliga team TC St. Andrä)
Goal for 2024: Do as well as possible in every round. If the semi-final ends, it would be good again. In a very strong Group B and with the away games in Graz and Klagenfurt, things can go very quickly towards the lower play-offs. Basically, the goal is to collect the necessary points to stay in the league.
Winner suggestion for 2024: A look at LINZ AG Team OÖ, which in my opinion is stronger than 2023, provides the answer. But in 2023 we have almost shown that something can still be possible. If we get through a strong Group B and can compete in a semi-final or final with a complete line-up, we can be able to make an impression, just like Grazer Park Club, the KLC or TC Bakl Weigelsdorf.
