Our most cherished pre-Christmas tradition has been continued in 2025. The entire team took a break from their daily training routine to bring smiles to the children's rooms of the SALK Children's Hospital and the Cardinal Schwarzenberg Clinic in Schwarzach. With this gesture, our lads provided a welcome change of pace and an early festive treat for the young patients.

The team split into smaller groups to visit as many children as possible. Besides handing out gifts, which immediately sparked great joy, the focus was primarily on spending time together. There were some exciting matches of table football, countless selfies, and of course, plenty of autographs. Naturally, our beloved mascot Bullidibumm was there to provide the necessary lightheartedness and good spirits – making for a truly special experience for everyone involved, which will resonate far beyond the football pitch!
