Volksstadion, Greifswald, Deutschland - In an exciting game, the Western Pomerania Vandals completed their first home game of the football league on June 16, 2025 in the Greifswald Volksstadion. In a gripping duel, the team lost to Berlin Rebels Prospects with a final score of 32:44. Around 430 spectators had come to cheer on the promoters from Western Pomerania who had to assert themselves against an experienced opponent.

The Vandals were able to achieve their first touchdown in the first few minutes and thus ensured a promising start. But the Berlin team, which played in the regional league last season and has now relegated to the Oberliga, skillfully took advantage of the weaknesses in the Greifswald defensive. Head coach Rene Schulze expressed the need to fix the mistakes after the game and already focused on the upcoming home game against the Baltic Blue Stars Rostock, which is planned for July 6 at 3 p.m. In order to enable the players to relax, no training sessions are scheduled for the coming week.

The importance of the game for the Vandals

For the players of the Vandals, this defeat not only represents a setback, but also a valuable lesson in dealing with challenges on the field. It is clear that, despite all the ambitions, the way to the top division will not be easier. Nevertheless, with their first touchdown in the first minute of the game, the vandals have already shown that they have the potential to survive in this league.

There were also some of the spectators who wanted to observe the dynamics of sport and to find out about the developments and challenges in football. Because football is not only a game, but also tells stories about team spirit, cohesion and the unconditional will to victory.

In a different context, the new film has been described in the area of ​​social issues, which is described as a tense thriller, although a lot caused a stir from football. The plot revolves around a group of high school skis that want to prepare a memorable night of terror for a group of popular students, in response to bullying and social exclusion. The film illustrates the effects of bullying and stimulates reflection on interpersonal relationships. These topics are not only relevant in the school system, but also in the sports area, since they address the challenges of today's youth.

The connection of education and sport

Another aspect that focuses on the recent discussion is the educational approaches to combat bullying. For example, the functionality of keywords in the literature for educational sciences is illuminated, with target groups being pointed out to the availability of suitable literature. A publication on this topic is "bullying in school sports- distribution, causes and options for action" by Markus Hess, who also deals with the challenges in the school and sports area.

For the Vandals, it is now said to draw the teachings from the first home game and prepare for the upcoming tasks. The support of domestic fans will undoubtedly play an important role in the next games to further promote the team spirit and to support the ambitions in the Oberliga.
