Zacharie Perrin's Return: Hamburg Towers Aim to Break Attendance Record Against Bayern Munich
Zacharie Perrin made a notable return to the Veolia Towers lineup after a six-week absence due to a metacarpal fracture. In his first game back in Jena, the 21-year-old French center, standing at 2.08m, quickly found his rhythm, scoring 12 points and grabbing 3 rebounds in 17 minutes. His teammate Devon Daniels praised him as a decisive player.
“I was sidelined for six long weeks, the first injury of my career. Watching the team without being able to play was tough. Getting back on the court and playing with my teammates feels incredibly good. Games in a large arena, in front of our fans, with such an atmosphere, are unique. They give us extra energy and motivation. Against Munich, we'll need to be intense and disciplined. They are probably the best team in Germany, so every detail matters. We'll have to be solid defensively, control the pace, and maintain our level for 40 minutes.”
Despite a 96-79 loss in their initial encounter earlier in October, the Veolia Towers have won four of their last five games against Bayern Munich. Currently, Bayern leads the league with an impressive 20-3 record, while Hamburg is positioned at 15th place with 9 wins and 15 losses.
This season, Zacharie Perrin has been a key contributor, averaging 10.2 points (shooting 63.1% from the field) and 6 rebounds in the Bundesliga.
The Hamburg team is preparing to host Bayern Munich in the Barclays Arena, where they are anticipating potentially setting a new Bundesliga attendance record. The current record stands at 18,713 spectators, recorded in December 2025 during the Telekom Baskets Bonn vs. FC Bayern München game at the LANXESS Arena.
