Eisvögel USC Freiburg is a German women's professional basketball team based in Freiburg im Breisgau.

As of 2022, the team is the reigning champion of the 1. Damen-Basketball-Bundesliga, the highest level of basketball in Germany.

The team brought the first national championship to the city of Freiburg im Breisgau in 115 years.[1]

History

After their promotion to the 1st women's basketball league in 2000, Eisvögel went on to be runners-up in the German 2001/02 season Championships. They maintained high ranking in the table when, in the 2005/06 season, the team placed second in the second half of the season.

The following year saw Eisvögel place fourth in the Bundesliga, with a much younger team. The team repeated their fourth position in the Budesliga in the 2007/08 season, achieving third place in the DBBL cup competition. The 2008/09 season ended with Eisvögel in ninth place.[2] Despite this setback, the team went on to finish third, in the season of 2011/12, before going on to win their first national title in 2013, at the final tournament in Freiburg.[3]

In 2017, after seventeen years of playing in the Budesliga, Eisvögel were relegated to the second division.[4] Under coach Pierre Hohn, they returned to the first division in the 2017/18 season,[5] after which point Hohn left the team. He was succeeded by Hanna Ballhaus.[6]

In the 2020/2021 anniversary season, the club's resources were impaired due to COVID-19 associated restrictions and regulations. Consequently, to improve finances, a crowdfunding endeavour was launched by the club, with Betty BBQ, a renowned Freiburg drag queen, acting as an ambassador for the cause.[7] Following the completion of the season, Hanna Ballhaus and Isabel Fernandez departed from the Eisvogel team, with Harald Janson taking their place.[8]

On April 29, 2022, Eisvögel won the German Championship with a 3-1 victory against the Rheinland Lions (formerly SG Bergische Löwen).

In 2021/22, the second team of Eisvögel was promoted to the second Bundesliga. Victor Herbosa, the previous assistant coach of the team, became head coach the same year.[9]

In May 2023, Janson returned to the position of head coach, with Herbosa returning to his native Spain.[10][11]
