Overview
- Board changes announced over the weekend — sporting director Markus Krösche was released and Axel Hellmann was promoted to Vorstandsvorsitzender — and those moves are set to dominate the meeting.
- Members will vote in person at the Frankfurter Jahrhunderthalle, where Mathias Beck stands as the sole candidate for a four-year presidential term and is widely expected to win.
- Krösche has said he wanted clarity before the meeting and will personally address members in what is expected to be an emotional farewell that will not be broadcast to the club’s 160,000 members.
- A member motion on the agenda asks Eintracht to push the DFL to implement the Bundeskartellamt’s 50+1 ruling and to examine claims against clubs with exceptions such as Bayer Leverkusen and VfL Wolfsburg.
- With about 160,000 members, Eintracht’s internal decisions carry weight across German football and the assembly could signal how the club balances executive control, member influence, and wider league governance.
