One year after the short -avoided descent, HSV Hamburg’s handball players only received the license for the Bundesliga with reservation. This was announced by the HBL on Thursday.
According to this, the former Champions League winner has to fulfill a condition by May 5th. “The condition stipulates that up to this point it is proven to the licensing commission that a current liquidity gap is currently closed. If this condition is not met, the license is not deemed to have been granted,” said a message from the league. The HSVH would then be the first relegation.
The situation is “not unexpected”, the club said in a statement that the club is already working on a solution. This year is a much smaller sum than last season and we are in a different situation today than last year, “said Managing Director Christian Hüneburg.
“Will secure financing in the next few days”
Before the current season, the entrepreneur Philipp Müller, who is now sitting on the HSV Hamburg supervisory board, had secured the license with a seven -digit sum.
“We have been in discussions with potential other supporters for a long time to post the association. There was no message about the amount of the sum, which this time must be proven as a security deposit.
License in front of the arbitral tribunal
For the current season, the Hamburgers had only fought for the license in front of the arbitral tribunal after a long hack. At the time, the licensing commission did not consider the condition that a liquidity gap must be closed. In contrast, the club was successful. In the 2015/16 season, the HSVH had lost the license for an application for bankruptcy and had crashed into the 3rd league.
