GOALBALL NATIONS CUP BERLIN

Dear Teams and Members of the International Goalball Community,

It is with great regret that we inform you that BSB Berlin will no longer organize or host the Goalball Nations Cup Berlin. This decision applies to GBNC 2027 and all future editions under the responsibility of BSB Berlin.

This decision is part of the ongoing strategic development of our association and the necessary refocusing of our resources and efforts on our core responsibilities. This requires us to reassess existing activities and events and to set clear priorities for the future.

This has not been an easy decision. It is particularly difficult for us to announce that we will not be hosting the 10th edition of the Goalball Nations Cup Berlin, which would have marked a special milestone in the tournament's history. After nine successful editions, the GBNC in the format you have come to know and helped shape over the years has therefore come to an end.

In this context, we would also like to clarify that the currently circulating announcement and registration process for an event in 2027 were neither issued nor organized by BSB Berlin. Registrations were not submitted to us, and the advertised event is not a BSB Berlin event. We are therefore unable to provide information about or assume responsibility for this event or its registration process. We wish the club that has announced its intention to organize an event in 2027 every success with its plans.

Our sincere thanks go to all teams, athletes, coaches and officials who have been part of the Goalball Nations Cup Berlin over the years and helped make it what it was: an international tournament that offered far more than sporting competition. Your trust, your passion for goalball and the many memorable encounters in Berlin have shaped this event.

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to the international goalball community in our role as an event organizer. At the same time, we look back on the past years with deep gratitude and pride. We will remember nine editions of the Goalball Nations Cup Berlin, outstanding sporting achievements, lasting friendships and the privilege of having been part of this international community.

Thank you for this remarkable journey together. We wish you all the very best, both in sport and in life, and continued success in the years ahead.

With sincere gratitude,

BSB Berlin
Behinderten- und Rehabilitations- Sportverband Berlin e. V.
