VC Wiesbaden's first home game of the new season will now take place on Sunday, October 19, in the sports hall at Platz der Deutschen Einheit against newcomers Skurios Volleys Borken. The game starts at 3.30 p.m. and the Wiesbaden team will be aiming for their first win after their good performance in Aachen. The visitors started the new Bundesliga season with a clear 0:3 defeat against Suhl and are certainly the underdogs in Wiesbaden. But they also have to win against Borken first.

Exciting start to the new season for the VCW: The new Wiesbaden volleyball Bundesliga team suffered a narrow 2:3 defeat (26:24, 23:25, 25:19, 23:25, 12:15) at the Ladies in Black Aachen on the first match day. The teams were level in all sets and the tie-break, with the VCW leading 1:0 and 2:1, only to concede defeat to the hosts after a thrilling evening. Nevertheless, the VCW took a point home from Aachen and can look forward to the new season after their performance, as the new team was able to keep up well against the team on an equal footing. And yet there was more in this game than just a point.

VC Wiesbaden is delighted to announce the signing of Jovana Dordević, who joins the VCW immediately from SC Potsdam. The 19-year-old outside attacker comes to Wiesbaden in the wake of the recently announced return of SC Potsdam's first division license - a move that came about by amicable agreement between the two clubs.

• Outside attack: Dagmar Boom, Pleun van der Pijl (both Netherlands), Cayetana López Rey (Spain), Jovana Dordević (Serbia / Germany)
• Diagonal: Jimena Fernández Gayoso (Spain)
• Middle block: Laura Broekstra, Hannah Clayton (USA), Marlene Rieger (Germany)
• Set: Sanne Konijnenberg (Netherlands), Hanna Weinmann (Germany)
• Libera: Rene Sain (Croatia)

The draw for the round of 16 has kicked off the 2025/26 DVV Cup. The VCW will face Ladies in Black Aachen at home in the round of 16. The match is scheduled for the weekend of November 8 or 9, 2025. The final date will be set by the Volleyball Bundesliga.
