Mainz 05: Lehmann board open to Bundesliga entry by investors

Could gain and buff 50+1

The Mainz board member Jan Lehmann does not rule out a future entry of investors in the Bundesliga. These could “even help us to maintain and strengthen 50+1. However, an investor must fit the league in terms of values,” said Lehmann in an interview with “Kicker”.

According to Lehmann, the German Football League needs “sustainable economic growth.” The 50+1 rule, which is binding for all professional clubs, states that after the spin-off of its professional department into a corporation, the parent club must continue to hold the majority of the voting shares. It is intended to limit the influence of investors in German professional football.

Lehmann also stimulated a debate about the orientation of the German Football League under the new managing director, Donata Hopfen. “The Bundesliga has to make a decision: do we want to be primarily a top league with international success? Or is it about inspiring local people with a great stadium experience and an exciting competition? Or is there a sensible compromise?” says Lehmann.
