Overview
- The founding event remains set for December 10 but has been moved from the DFB Campus to an Eintracht-hosted venue at Frankfurt’s stadium.
- The DFB said it was surprised by the statements, noted it was never meant to be part of the league association, and pledged to continue talks.
- Eintracht’s Axel Hellmann warned of a potential irreparable loss of trust after agreements were, in the clubs’ view, not reflected in documents.
- The clubs point to a survey indicating investment needs of roughly €300–700 million over eight years, compared with the DFB’s €100 million proposal.
- Whether the process leads to a joint venture with the DFB or a fully independent path remains unresolved.
