The Rhinos' successful 2025 came to an end with a home cup game in the quarter-finals. Their opponents in the arena at Platz der Deutschen Einheit were the Cologne 99ers. After winning 73:50, the Rhinos advanced to the cup semi-finals and now go into the Christmas break.

The old year ended successfully in the cup against the Cologne 99ers and begins on Saturday, January 10, 2026, against the Cologne team in the Bundesliga.

After three clear victories in the German league and the 77:22 win in the cup in Osnabrück, a real top game awaited the Rhinos on Saturday, December 13. RSV Lahn-Dill was the guest in Wiesbaden for the Hesse derby and the Rhinos conceded their first defeat of the season by 51:57 in a close and thrilling match. But just one day later, the basketball team from Wiesbaden clearly won 85:68 at BBC Münsterland.

The Rhinos hosted RSC Osnabrück in the round of 16 of the cup on St. Nicholas' Day and clearly fulfilled the mandatory task in their favor with a 77:22 win. The Rhinos can now look forward to the cup quarter-finals.

The Rhine River Rhinos from Wiesbaden continued their third matchday at RB Zwickau. The Wiesbaden wheelchair basketball team also won clearly and emphatically in Saxony with a 95:42 victory, their third clear win in the Bundesliga in their third game.

After the clear opening victory in Bayreuth, the Wiesbaden wheelchair basketball team's first home game was against the RBB Munich Iguanas in the hall at Platz der Deutschen Einheit. The anticipation was great and so the Rhinos won clearly in the end with 82:30 and thus landed the second clear victory on the second matchday. So the season opener was a success.

Finally, the time without Bundesliga wheelchair basketball has come to an end: The new season in the 1st German Wheelchair Basketball League got off to a very successful start for the Rhinos under new Head Coach Christopher Huber. In Bayreuth, the Wiesbaden athletes won clearly with 85:42 and thus laid the foundation for a hopefully successful season.

After two intensive and successful years, player-coach Michael Paye has left the Rhine River Rhinos. Paye's former assistant Christopher Huber is now the new head coach. He spent ten years at series champions RSV Lahn-Dill until 2021 and is now in charge of the Rhinos' sideline. Now that the course can be set both financially and in sporting terms, the Rhinos and manager Mirco Korder want to present the new team as soon as possible. The new coach has also set the goal for the season, which is the playoffs!
