This summer, HSV enters a new era as fans become shareholders. Indeed, Hamburg (9th) seems to be reaching an unprecedented milestone in German football. During a meeting organized by the club, around 500 members present at the Volkspark approved the model proposed by the HSV Supporters Trust, allowing supporters to participate financially in the professional department of the club, (HSV Fußball AG & Co KGaA), through the purchase of shares as indicated by the media Bild. The president of the current ninth in the championship, Henrik Köncke, described this moment as history for the team.
“For us, this is a historic step. It is the first fan-based participation at a professional club in Germany. This is the payment for the chapter we want to write at HSV”. The launch of sales is planned for May or June 2026, with shares starting from 887 euros for individuals and 18,870 euros for companies, each participant having one vote at the general meeting, regardless of the amount invested. This campaign will coincide with the end of the Bundesliga season, offering an exclusive sale to members. Köncke also wanted to add a statement on how to proceed, notifying a beneficial development. “We have positioned ourselves very well and developed economically in recent years. Now it’s about being ready for the years to come.”.
