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”.
The members of the Hamburger SV vote on a new presidium on Saturday. Three candidates are at the meeting, which begins in the Volksparkstadion from 10 a.m. The HSV offers one for all those who stayed at home Live ticker to.
Kai Esselsgroth, the chairman of the Honorary Council, member of the supervisory board Henrik Köncke and entrepreneur Frank Ockens apply for the post. You can find out more about the candidates here. Incumbent Marcell Jansen had decided not to start election again after more than seven years as HSV president.
Olympic champion Laura Ludwig and the deputy chairwoman of honor Anna Stöcken are running for the offices of the vice presidents. Ralph Hartmann and Michael Papenfuß face the election as treasurer.
The election had triggered discussions in advance – especially because of Felix Magath, which was not approved by the association’s advisory board. According to the committee, the former HSV professional showed too little interest in popular sports and wanted to concentrate on professional football instead.
The decision of the advisory board caused criticism in parts of the followers. As the “picture” reported, some fans even want to face the vote – as long as the Causa Magath has not been legally clarified. Apparently they demand to suspend the election for the time being. However, the hurdle for this is high.
In addition, a cooperative model is to be presented at the meeting that could change the association structure in the long term.

Hamburger SV continues to work on a firm commitment from Adam Karabec. The 21-year-old offensive player was loaned by Sparta Prague last season and played 33 competitive games (three goals, eight templates).
At the U21 European Championship, the Czech said goodbye to the tournament with a 2-0 win against Slovenia after there were previously defeats against England and Germany. Karabec prepared a goal in the last game.
The originally agreed purchase option of 4.2 million euros has now expired. According to “Bild”, the current claim from Prague is only around three million euros after the early end of the U21 European Championship.
HSV continues to see great potential in Karabec and believe in the Czech Bundesliga suitability. The player himself had already emphasized that they would like to stay in Hamburg.
