The 1. FC Köln is the football club from the cathedral city. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “billy goats”.
The 1. FC Köln has presented its next newcomer. Sebastian Sebulonsen changes from Bröndby IF to Geißbockheim and signed a contract with the Bundesliga club until the summer of 2028. With the Norwegian, the billy goats close the gap on the right defense side, where until now only Jusuf Gazibegovic had been available as a trained option.
“We are very pleased that we have now filled the position of the right full -back with Sebastian. He brings a strong athletic profile, meets our requirements for a physically robust, position variable player and extends our possibilities in the squad. His qualities and development potential make him a valuable reinforcement for our team,” says sports director Thomas Kessler.
The 25-year-old moved from Viking FK to Bröndby in 2022, where he was used 38 times last season and ended the season in third place in the championship. “I am very happy to be here now. My teammates, who have already played in Germany, only told me good things about FC. So I can hardly wait to wear the FC jersey for the first time and play in the RheinEnergieStadion. There I want to help FC to achieve his goals and will get involved with my way of play as well as possible,” says Sebulonsen to his change. On Saturday, the Norwegian will travel to the training camp in Bad Waltersdorf with FC.

The 1. FC Köln has made the next transfer perfect-this time on the tax page. Chilohem Onuoha is borrowed to the SC Verl for another year. The 20-year-old striker had already loaned the third division clubs last season, but was only used in 20 out of 38 league games.
“With the sum of the operating times that Chilo collected in Verl last year, everyone involved could not be satisfied,” said Lukas Berg, technical director at FC. “After the conversations with the SC Verl and with the player, we are convinced that this will change this year. The style of play in Verl fits Chilo’s qualities very well.” At FC, Onuoha still has a long -term contract.
The 1. FC Köln took up the annual team photo on Wednesday. Surprisingly: Said el Mala. The shooting star of the U19 European Championship and newcomer to the billy goats stopped by his new club for the first time since moving to FC. Together with his brother Malek, he posed with the team for the photo together.
The El Malas will leave the training camp in Bad Waltersdorf (Austria) with their teammates on Saturday. Then Eric Martel and Jan Thielmann will also be there. The duo was the only one in the team photo.
The 1. FC Köln may have found its new right -back. According to the Danish sports magazine “Tipsbladet”, Bundesliga promoted Sebastian Sebulonen from the Danish top team Bröndby IF wants to hire. The 25-year-old could challenge Jusuf Gazibegovic on the right.
