Stobbe further promised that the FC would work to ensure that the survey in April 2026 is positive. “In Cologne, we have a sports-loving supporter in the new mayor who has good contacts with the DOSB. The city of Cologne must take advantage of this.”

1. FC Köln’s most expensive purchase returns to the starting line-up: On Saturday against FC St. Pauli, Rav van den Berg will be in the Billy Goats’ starting line-up for the first time since the third matchday – for the first time since he suffered a sprained shoulder joint in Wolfsburg. “I can confirm that,” says Lukas Kwasniok.
The coach is convinced that the Dutchman will justify the eight million euros that FC transferred to Middlesbrough for him. “Rav can simply play football, has a relatively calm pulse and overall very good hardware for a central defender – a lot of size, good pace and a gift for defending well in individual tactics,” praises Kwasniok.
Striker Ragnar Ache, who missed the 1-1 draw in Bremen due to a slight concussion, is also fit. “He had no problems at all this week and thank God he is an option for us again,” said Kwasniok happily.
