Edin Dzeko, Loris Karius, and Schalke players celebrated promotion to the Bundesliga with a wild yacht party in Ibiza after two years in the second division.
Schalke players wasted no time celebrating their return to the Bundesliga after finally escaping two painful years in the second division.
The German giants secured promotion with a 1-0 victory over Fortuna Düsseldorf, triggering emotional scenes in Gelsenkirchen and celebrations that quickly moved far beyond Germany.
Once promotion was mathematically confirmed, the squad reportedly received permission to celebrate freely, and the players immediately headed for Ibiza.
The famous Spanish party island became the center of attention after videos and photos from the trip spread across social media.
Edin Dzeko gave fans a look inside the celebrations through Instagram, showing teammates enjoying a luxury yacht party filled with music, dancing and beer.
The biggest surprise came from goalkeeper Loris Karius, who reportedly took control of the music and became the team’s unofficial DJ during the celebration.
Videos showed Karius, Dzeko, Nikola Katic and several other players dancing on deck while celebrating Schalke’s long-awaited return to the German top flight.
The scenes quickly became a major story in German media, with many supporters enjoying the emotional release after two difficult seasons outside the elite level.
For Schalke, promotion represents far more than a sporting achievement. The club has spent recent years dealing with sporting collapse, financial problems, and enormous pressure from supporters desperate to see the team back in the Bundesliga.
Now, after finally completing the mission, the celebrations appear far from over.
