Wikipedia - Medi Bayreuth
Medi Bayreuth, official stylized as medi bayreuth, is a German professional basketball club that is based in Bayreuth, Germany. It was re-founded as BBC Bayreuth in 1999. The team plays in the ProA, the second-highest division of basketball in Germany. From 2013 until 2023, the company medi was the head and naming sponsor of the team. For the start of the 2023-24 season the club renamed itself BBC Bayreuth again.
History
The club was founded as the basketball section of Post SV Bayreuth in 1975 and was one of the clubs that established the second division of professional basketball in Germany. In its debut season, the team was immediately promoted to the first tier (Basketball Bundesliga). In 1979, the basketball team separated from Post SV, and the club was re-founded as USC Bayreuth. After the 1983–84 season the team was relegated from the Bundesliga. Following this, the club merged with TTBG Steiner-Optik Bayreuth, a former table tennis club, to form BG Steiner Bayreuth.
As Steiner Bayreuth, the team had some great successes. The club immediately returned to the highest level, and years later won several trophies in Germany. In 1988 and 1989 the team won the BBL-Pokal (cup competition) and in the 1988–89 season the team was crowned German national champions after winning the Bundesliga.
In 1997, longtime sponsor Steiner left the club and the club started to get in financial trouble. Along with the financial crisis, the team also had a sportive crisis. In 1999, the team was relegated from the Bundesliga to the second division because of financial troubles. Bayreuth spent the following seasons in the second division ProA.
Bayreuth eventually returned to the highest level. The club won the 2009–10 season's German 2nd Division championship, and thus earned promotion to the Bundesliga for the 2010–11 season. Before the 2013–14 season, the club's name was changed to medi bayreuth for sponsorship reasons. The new team colors were black, lime green and pink.
Bayreuth had an outstanding 2016–17 season, as the team of Raoul Korner finished fourth in the BBL regular season with a 22–10 record. In the play-offs the team was eliminated by fifth-seeded Oldenburg. However, the placement of the club qualified Bayreuth for the 2017–18 Basketball Champions League, which was the first European campaign for the club. With an 8–6 record in the regular season, Bayreuth advanced to the play-offs, in which the team eliminated Turkish side Beşiktaş in the last 16. But in the quarter-finals the club was eliminated by fellow German side Riesen Ludwigsburg.
Known for their fast-paced and high-scoring style of play, BBC Bayreuth has a dedicated fan base that fills the arena for every home game. The team's roster is made up of talented players from around the world, each bringing their own unique skills and strengths to the court.
BBC Bayreuth has a history of success in the Basketball Bundesliga, consistently finishing near the top of the standings and making deep runs in the playoffs. With a strong coaching staff and a commitment to excellence, the team is poised to continue their winning ways for years to come.
