DFL awards licenses to all 36 applicants
All 36 clubs will receive a license for the Bundesliga or the 2nd Bundesliga for the coming season. Several clubs had to fulfill requirements.
The German Football League (DFL) has granted all 36 sporty clubs a license for the Bundesliga and the 2nd Bundesliga. The umbrella organization announced the decision of the licensing committee for the 2025/26 season in the morning. “In autumn, the clubs have to document their economic performance again for the ongoing season 2025/26,” said the message.
In the sense of a fair competition, the league checks, among other things, financial, sporting and legal criteria as well as “criteria in relation to stadiums, sustainability and the Virtual Bundesliga”. In April, the DFL announced that “some clubs” would still have to improve and to meet certain conditions by the beginning of June in order to maintain the right to play.
Among other things, Hertha received requirements
Among other things, second division Hertha BSC was affected. “As in previous years, we received a condition in the economic sector and requirements,” said a statement by the club from the capital at the time. “According to the first license decision, we have to meet the condition by June 4th. We were prepared for this and will meet the timely on time.”
Hannover 96 had solved his managing director problem in good time before the licensing period.
Mann and Bindzus, who had previously worked for Hamburger SV, competed in their new tasks a few hours before the deadline on March 17th. So the club was able to submit the necessary application to the DFL.
