36-0 in the Hessian derby against the Giessen Golden Dragons

After the long summer break, the Phantoms returned to action with the Hessian derby against the Gießen Golden Dragons. In the end, they secured their seventh win in seven games; the Phantoms sent Gießen home with a 36–0 victory and remain at the top of the standings.

Second-Half Season Opener: 53–10 vs. Biberach Beavers

After a brief first summer break, the Wiesbaden Phantoms kicked off the second half of the season. Their opponents were the Biberach Beavers. Against the team at the bottom of the standings—the Phantoms had won the first match on the road 58–0—Wiesbaden was the clear favorite. The final score was 53–10, marking their sixth win in six games this season. The Phantoms continue to lead the standings by a wide margin.

Away Game Against the Augsburg Centurions

And this coming Saturday, July 25, they’ll face the Augsburg Centurions, who are currently in second place in the standings. A win against their closest rival would ensure that Wiesbaden, with just two games remaining, could no longer be displaced from first place.

17:16 in the top match in Montabaur

On the fifth match day, a true top-of-the-table clash was on the schedule, as the Phantoms visited the Montabaur Fighting Farmers. After a bumpy start—the Phantoms trailed 0–14 and 7–16—Head Coach Patrick Griesheimer’s Wiesbaden squad ultimately won by a narrow margin of 17–16 and head into the short summer break as league leaders. 

33:14 against Albershausen Crusaders

On the fourth match day, another home game awaited the team at "Camp Lindsey." After a slow start, the Phantoms secured another decisive victory that day, defeating the syNeo Albershausen Crusaders 33–14 in the Europaviertel. With four wins in four games, they now sit at the top of the standings.

Hesse derby: 32:11 at Gießen Golden Dragons

After two opening wins in the GFL2, the Phantoms faced the Gießen Golden Dragons in the Hessian derby on the third matchday. Gießen had started the season with one win and one loss. But in the end, the Wiesbaden GFL2 footballers secured a decisive 32–11 victory in Gießen, notching up their third win in three games and sitting comfortably in the standings. 

38:33 at home against Augsburg

The first home game of the season was now set to take place at "Camp Lindsey," with the Augsburg Centurions—a team newly promoted to the GFL2—as the opponents. In a closely contested match, the home team, the Phantoms, ultimately prevailed 38–33, securing their second win in their second game of the season. Let’s hope things continue this way.

Season opener: 58:0 at Biberach Beavers

The Wiesbaden Phantoms kicked off the GFL2 season with a 58-0 victory over the Biberach Beavers, avenging at least one of their two losses from 2025. The Phantoms were already leading 24-0 at halftime and showed no signs of letting up in the third and fourth quarters.
