The highlight of the BLITZbee Corporate Cricket Cup 2025 — Germany’s first-ever corporate cricket tournament — unfolded at the stunning Sports School Oberhaching near Munich.
What began as friendly competition among professionals from 12 nations quickly transformed into something much bigger:
A celebration of integration.
A reflection of skilled migration.
A bold statement about cricket’s rise in Germany.
48 players | 12 countries | 1 united pitch
But this wasn’t just about corporate rivalry.
✨ Youth cricket matches from local schools energized the day
✨ Guests from business, politics, and international communities showed strong support
✨ Dessi Tadka delighted participants and guests with authentic Indian cuisine
And the champions?
🏆 Seil Group — Corporate Cricket Champion 2025
The event was honoured by distinguished dignitaries, including:
• Georg Eisenreich, Bavarian State Minister of Justice
• Tobias Gotthardt, Vice Minister, Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs
• Stefan Schell, Mayor of Oberhaching
• Severin Weiß, President, German Cricket Board
• Shatrughna Sinha, Consul General of India, Munich
• Philipp Bächstädt, President, German Cricket Club
And here’s the bigger picture:
Bavaria’s Olympic vision for 2040 now includes two international-standard cricket stadiums — a massive step for cricket’s legitimacy in Europe.
Yet the most powerful moment wasn’t the trophy lift.
It was the sight of dozens of children picking up a bat for the very first time — proving that cricket is more than a sport.
It is diplomacy.
It is identity.
It is a bridge between cultures.
Germany may be known for football — but cricket is quietly writing its own story.
