Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “red pants”.
Midfielder Ludovit Reis leaves Hamburger SV: The North Germans gave the 25-year-old’s change request “after many conversations and frequent considerations”, as the club announced in the evening. The Dutchman had a contract that was still valid until 2026. In the future he will play for Club Bruges. According to media reports, the Belgian association should be willing to pay six million euros for rice.
Rice said goodbye emotionally in a video published by the association. “I just wanted to say: Thank you for everything,” said Reis. “Hamburg has become my home. It is not easy to leave. I hope the HSV family understands that it is not about the club. I leave the club because I personally want to do something.”
Hamburger SV plays its first round game in the DFB Cup on August 16 at the top division FK Pirmasens. The kick -off is at 1 p.m. The DFB published the contemporary approaches for the first cup round on Wednesday.
The opponent from Rhineland-Palatinate plays in the fifth-class Oberliga “Rheinlandpfalz/Saar” and completed the past season as the third in the table. The FK Pirmasens qualified for the DFB Cup as the state cup winner South-West. He is the former training association of HSV goalkeeper coach Sven Höh.
A week after the cup game, the Bundesliga season also begins for HSV. The first match day takes place from August 22nd to 24th. The Hamburgers will be the first Bundesliga club to prepare for the 2025/26 season next Monday (June 30).
Hamburger SV and Andras Nemeth go separate paths. As the Bundesliga promoted, the 22-year-old offensive player changes to the Hungarian first division club Puska’s academia.
Nemeth changed to Hamburg in winter 2023 and played a total of 42 competitive games for the Hanseatic League. In the past season, however, the Hungarian was not in the professional squad, but was loaned at the second division team SC Preußen Münster.
The attacker could not prevail there permanently. In 21 appearances – mostly as a joker – he remained without a goal. He contributed three templates. Injuries ketorously braked the young international. Now follows the return home – and a restart in the Hungarian league.
Without Christian Stübinger, there is usually no HSV home game: Since 2020, the radio presenter has said the team constellations and goals and puts the audience in the mood before the games. In the Bundesliga, “Stübi” is allowed to continue: On Tuesday afternoon, he reported the contract extension on his Instagram channel.
By 2023, the 36-year-old moderated the stadium show together with Christina Rann. Since then he has been leading through the program solely. “Thank you HSV for a lot of trust, energy and appreciation, I am proud to be there,” he wrote.
Hamburger SV is about to commit the Braunschweig striker Rayan Philippe. The 24-year-old Frenchman no longer took part in Eintracht on Monday evening. In order to avoid an injury, Philippe is no longer training with the team.
Benjamin Kessel, sports director of Eintracht Braunschweig, said after the training session: “There would be little sense if he would run his rounds lonely.”
