Overview

  • Germany beat South Korea 94-56 in Berlin on Tuesday to win the play-in match and advance to the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time as a reunified nation.
  • Captain Marie Gülich led the team with 19 points while Leonie Fiebich, Frieda Bühner and Nyara Sabally supplied key contributions in a game defined by disciplined defense and improved offensive flow.
  • The quarterfinal against Belgium is scheduled for Thursday at 17:45 CET in the Uber Arena, and Belgium enters as tournament favorite after topping its group unbeaten.
  • The match will be widely available on free-to-air TV via ProSieben MAXX and on the Joyn livestream, with MagentaTV/MagentaSport offering additional coverage.
  • High public interest has boosted the event—organizers sold about 220,000 tickets before the tournament—and a win over Belgium would move Germany from a breakthrough to genuine medal contention while shaping the sport’s profile at home.
