Overview
- The club reported at its members' meeting a €4.7 million deficit for the year to June 30, the biggest shortfall since its 1997 return to the 2. Bundesliga.
- The published result shows a €100,000 loss after offsetting with retained earnings and Genussrechte, reducing equity to €2.7 million from about €7.8 million three years ago.
- Management attributes the downturn to lower TV distributions after the 2022 relegation, expensive severances for Alexander Zorniger and Rachid Azzouzi, minimal transfer income, and average attendance of roughly 12,000.
- Supporters are pursuing a return to the traditional name without "Greuther," with a vote planned for the 2026 members' meeting and any change targeted for the 2027/28 season.
- The club announced a two-year extension of the stadium naming-rights deal with Thomas Sommer.
