A long-standing tradition returned once again. On Friday, 5 December 2025, the HAT Midnight Volleyball Tournament took place. Demand was high, and all available spots filled up quickly.
Nine teams, each consisting of eight players, competed for the championship title.

Game on! At 10:15 p.m., the first round of matches began simultaneously on all three courts. Teams "Nordlichter," "Kaltfront Crew," "Eisblock," "Gletscher Gang," "Polarsterne," and "Pinguin Patrol" battled for every single point. The excitement was unmistakable! Every team demonstrated great passion and outstanding team spirit. The only question was: Which team would ultimately claim the tournament title?

After an exciting preliminary round, all players headed to the buffet to recharge their batteries for the second half of the tournament. Many matches went into extra time and were fiercely contested until the very last point.
By around 2:30 a.m., the final matches came to an end, and the tournament champions had been decided. Team Pinguin Patrol emerged victorious and claimed this year's Midnight Volleyball Tournament title.

On behalf of the entire University Sports team, we would especially like to thank our instructors and participants. You made the tournament an unforgettable evening! We are already looking forward to next year's event and hope to see all of you again.

Best wishes and happy holidays,
The University Sports Team
