Young talents on the hunt for baskets:
The 3rd Noah-Berge-Cup in Chemnitz is history
From 23 to 25 May 2025, Chemnitz, the European Capital of Culture, was transformed into the centre of European youth basketball. For the 3rd Noah-Berge-Cup, we welcomed 32 youth teams in the U12 and U13 age groups from seven nations: Germany, France, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Belgium and Spain.
For the first time, the tournament took place in three venues - the Richard-Hartmann-Halle, the Schloßteichhalle and the sports gym of the André-Gymnasium. More space for more action!
In attendance were 420 young basketball players, their coaches and plenty of passion for the most beautiful sport in the world. It was three days full of exciting games, impressive moves, alley-oops, dunks - and an inspiring European exchange in the spirit of fair play.
Many thanks to everyone who was there and made the 3rd Noah-Berge-Cup such a great event!
