On Sunday, the Supercup in handball will take place between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. This competition marks the kickoff of the new season, following the start of the DHB-Pokal. Bob Hanning comments on the importance of both competitions in his column.

The Supercup is viewed as the first opportunity to win a title in the current season. Bayern Munich, as the reigning German champion and DFB-Pokal winner, enters as the favorite, while Dortmund seeks to win its first title of the season.

The match will be held under the name 'Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.' It takes place one week before the start of the Bundesliga season and promises to heighten the tension between these two traditional rivals.
