It is said that the management will apply for insolvency proceedings at the Munich District Court later today.
The takeover of SportScheck by the British fashion retailer Frasers Group, which was announced in the autumn, “will not be completed for the time being; however, Frasers is sticking to its takeover plans,” the company said. Other potential investors have expressed interest in taking over SportScheck and the process is now open again. “This makes SportScheck confident that it will find a new, strong partner who will ensure long-term stability for the company.”

All branches, customer service and the online shop continued to operate as normal. Managing director Matthias Rucker said that the bankruptcy was bitter, but also an opportunity to sustainably strengthen the company with its contractual partners and creditors. The restructuring and investor process should be completed by March at the latest.
