High spirits at New Year's Reception

TSG Hoffenheim invited all partners, sponsors and friends of the club to attend the annual New Year's Reception in the PreZero Arena. A total of 420 guests accepted the invitation.

The fourth annual TSG Hoffenheim New Year's Reception began with a surprise: presenter Jochen Breyer, who hosted the evening's festivities, encouraged all those in attendance to get up and hug one another. The reason? It happened to be "World Hugging Day". In an instant, the TV presenter had created a jovial and intimate atmosphere among the guests.

Managing Director Dr. Peter Görlich then spoke to TSG's sponsors and partners about the key topic of sustainability, discussed the club's strategy for the future, "TSG is movement", and then gave an overview of the recently-launched lifestyle brand umoja. Despite these diverse areas of focus, Görlich was keen to make it clear that: "More than anything else, the focus is on top-level sport. Football is and will remain our core business''.

Director of Football Alexander Rosen, Head Coach Alfred Schreuder and club captain Benjamin Hübner all took to the stage to discuss the sporting side of things. The trio had their sights focused on the future, but nonetheless took some time to reflect on recent achievements: "I have so much respect for the team and the coaching staff. What they have achieved in this first half of the season, despite so many departures and injuries, is truly remarkable," said Rosen as he praised Schreuder and his team, going on to remark that: "We have two points more than we did at this point last season." This final declaration was met with booming applause from the room.  

Before the evening's speeches, the players and the coaching team took time to mingle with the guests. Photos were taken, laughs were shared - sponsors, partners and friends of TSG Hoffenheim could ask for nothing more. All in all, it was a hugely enjoyable evening which will live long in the memories of all those who were in attendance.
