For 15 years, Valon Zumberi wore the jersey of Hamburger SV. In the upcoming Bundesliga season, the 22-year-old is no longer part of the squad. As the club announced, the collaboration with the central defender ends.
“For me, the HSV was not just an association – it was home, challenge, school and stage at the same time,” wrote Zumberi on Instagram. He goes with a laughing and a thoughtful eye: “There are people who live this club with passion. And then there are those where you ask yourself how they actually got there.”
Moved from Norderstedt to Hamburg at the age of seven, Valon Zumberi went through all the HSV’s youth teams. In 2022 he signed a professional contract, the following season he played twice in the 2nd Bundesliga.
In the 2023/24 season, the U21 international of Kosovo played on loan in Switzerland at FC Schaffhausen (2nd league). Before the past season, he injured his knee and failed practically the entire season. Most recently, he trained again at the U21 of the HSV.

Braga qualified for the UEFA Women’s Champions League as third in the first league Portugal. From the end of July, the team will compete in the 1st of three qualification rounds before the league.
With the 1. FC Heidenheim, Leo Scienza is still fighting in the relegation to remain in the Bundesliga. In the 2-2 in the first leg against SV Elversberg, the 26 -year -old Brazilian recently shone with two goals.
It is quite possible that Scienza will kick in the 1st Bundesliga in the future: HSV should definitely want to sign the Heidenheimer “reported” Fussballeuropa.com “. In the first leg, the promoted Leo Scienza observed on site and was severely impressed by his performance. Heidenheim is ready to talk about a transfer from a transfer fee of two million euros.
The climb was the end of his long career: HSV goalkeeper Tom Mickel ends his professional career after 16 years. The club announced this on Friday.
Although he only played six competitive games for the HSV professionals, Tom Mickel became a favorite of fans over the years. If the goalkeeper born in Hoyerswerda was needed, he was always there. For the first time, Mickel moved to the Elbe in summer 2009, and in 2015 he signed for the second time at HSV.
