Eisvögel USC Freiburg
Eisvögel USC Freiburg is a German women’s basketball team from Freiburg im Breisgau. They play in the 1. Damen-Basketball-Bundesliga (DBBL), the top German league. The club was founded in 1972 and plays at Universitäts-Sporthalle, which seats 1,200. Their nickname is Eisvögel (Kingfishers).
They have won the German championship twice, in 2013 and 2022, giving Freiburg its first national title in 115 years. They were relegated to the second division in 2017 but returned to the top league in the 2017/18 season. The 2020/21 season was hard on finances because of COVID-19, so the club launched a crowdfunding campaign with Betty BBQ as ambassador. In 2022 Victor Herbosa, previously an assistant coach, became head coach; in May 2023 Janson returned as head coach, with Herbosa leaving for Spain. The second team was promoted to the second Bundesliga in 2021/22.
