Tim Albrecht (born December 3, 1992 in Oldenburg ) is a German fistball player . He plays both in the field season and in the indoor season at Ahlhorner SV in the 1st Bundesliga North. He made his international debut on June 1, 2013 in Brettorf, Lower Saxony, against Switzerland as part of a preparatory course for the World Games in Cali (Colombia).

Career

Tim Albrecht has been with Ahlhorner SV since he was a child. He has been an integral part of the German fistball stronghold of Ahlhorner SV for years and plays here in the important middle position. At the age of 19 he was already in the extended squad of the German men's national team and only narrowly failed because of the nomination for the European championship in Schweinfurt, Bavaria. A year later he made his debut in the national team and was promptly nominated for the following World Games in 2013 in Cali, Colombia, where he won the title in his first major international tournament. The nomination was only a matter of time, because he went through all youth national teams in which he could win all titles that could be won.

In 2017 he won the World Games again with the German national team and in 2019 he became world champion with them .

With Ahlhorner SV he is a "regular guest" at the German championships. Here he was able to win silver once (2010 Bad Staffelstein) and twice bronze (2010 in Heidkrug and 2013 Coburg).
