The Cheerleading Association "Fabulous Giants" celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with an impressive success: After the victory of the "Nordic All Level Championship" in Sweden in December 2023, the "Seniors", the "Fabulous Giants", have a starting place for the Cheerleading team 2024 in Orlando, Florida, Florida, Florida, Florida, Florida, Florida, Florida, Florida, secured. This is a huge success for the Marzahn Association, which has grown continuously since 2014 and is trying to establish cheerleading in German competitive sports with great commitment.

The Giants are just one of a total of seven teams of different ages in the club and are trained by coach Stefan Knop. After winning and the prospect of a possible participation in the home country of team sports, the trainer is facing major tasks. Instead of ending the season in March, a new training plan and an intensive practice phase for the Giants must now be created.

However, a possible participation in the United States has not yet been clarified. The team needs around 2,500 euros per participant to finance the trip. A sum that the 26 cheerleaders between the ages of 15 and 21 cannot easily manage. Sports promotion is currently not in sight. A total of around 80,000 euros are required to cover the travel expenses for flights, hotel, transports, catering and the entry fee.

In order not to burst the dream of participating in the World Cup, all club members and their relatives advertise donations. The first donations for the big common goal are already in. District Mayor Nadja Zivkovic supports the young athletes and hopes that there will be a solution so that the talented young women from the district can take their deserved participation in the World Cup.

In the meantime, the athletes and their team increased the training workload, from two dates to three to four per week, often in addition to general fitness units. The sport, which is to become Olympic from 2024, not only demands full commitment, but also requires a lot of strength, endurance and discipline as a mixture of dance, floor gymnastics and show

The situation of the "Fabulous Giants" illustrates the financial challenges that many amateur and mass sports clubs face when it comes to participating in international competitions. It remains to be hoped that the necessary donations will come together in good time so that the young athletes can make their dream come true and Germany are worthy of the World Championship in 2024.
