STADA-Sponsoring

STADA is sponsor of RSV Lahn-Dill

The wheelchair basketball club (RSV) Lahn-Dill looks back on many successful years in Germany’s first division basketball league. In the last ten years – particularly through their championship titles in 1998, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 as well as cup wins in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 – RSV Lahn-Dill Wetzlar has established a reputation as the secret capital of wheelchair basketball in Germany. In Europe, too, RSV Lahn-Dill is among the absolute top clubs. The wheelchair basketball team from Wetzlar won the Champions Cup in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

The professional presentation of the sport in a suitable atmosphere, Germany’s first fan club for “rollis” and an “everyday” sport in front of a significant number of spectators – all factors that have led to the rollis from Wetzlar achieving a respectable position in a region with strong competition from other first division sports.

The sport of wheelchair basketball hardly differs from the so-called “normal” sport that everybody knows. The rules, with a small number of exceptions, are identical, the atmosphere is exciting and the tempo is fast. “Basketball was invented for rollis”, is a commonly heard slogan that attracted over 300,000 visitors and created a lasting impression at the paralympic wheelchair basketball competition in Sydney.

With a total of seven national team players on its roster, including the two international stars Michael Paye and Joey Johnson, the RSV Lahn-Dill is not only a top team in Germany but also one of the top teams in Europe.

Since August 1995 STADA has been supporting RSV Lahn-Dill and is, among other things, also the jersey sponsor.
