Gloria Giants Düsseldorf is a professional basketball club based in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.[1] The team was formed in 2008, when the Bayer company decided to dramatically decrease its sponsorship for its Bayer Giants Leverkusen. As a result, the Bayer Giants went down to Germany's Regional 1 (4th division) to restructure. The license for the Basketball Bundesliga was transferred to Düsseldorf. The tourism investment of Ozaltin Group, Gloria Hotels & Resorts has been the main sponsor of Germany Beko Basketball League’s entrenched team Duesseldorf Giants.[2] The name of the team will be changed to " Gloria Giants " during 2010-11 season.
