SV Elversberg at Europa-Park: after a 1-1 vs FC Thun, team downtime before their first Bundesliga season — Silver Star included

A draw against the reigning Swiss champions — then a clean break from the training grind. Over the weekend, SV Elversberg headed to Europa-Park. Players and staff from the newly promoted Bundesliga side spent time together in Rust after a 1-1 friendly with FC Thun. The match was played right next to Germany’s largest theme park, in the shadow of the Silver Star coaster. Once the final whistle blew, coach Vincent Wagner’s squad swapped the soccer field for more than 100 attractions and shows across 18 European-themed areas. Thrilling rides, cooler moments in between, and real downtime as a group: a welcome change of pace while preparing for the first Bundesliga season in club history. For the newcomers, it’s not only about fitness — it’s about sticking together before the big step up.
