History

In 2000 the first-division club was founded as the EiffelTowers Nijmegen and played its games in De Horstacker in Nijmegen. With main sponsor Eiffel, the club was able to sign American players which led to fast success. In 2003, the EiffelTowers were the main team in the Netherlands. The team won the Dutch championship and the Dutch NBB Cup, the two big trophies in the Netherlands. In 2005 main sponsor Eiffel decided to move its club to Den Bosch to merge with Tulip Den Bosch. Main reason was the small arena in Nijmegen, which didn't allow the club to play in European competitions.

The following season, a new team from Nijmegen was founded in Matrixx Magixx.
