Therefore, together we decided to leave the VIVE brand in the team name – respected by fans, perfectly associated and with an established position in the sports world. It is our way of honoring the team’s successes and building a new history for the team based on its rich tradition. We are very happy that we can join forces at such a special moment for the team.
