Overview
- Members convene at 11:00 in Hall 20 at Messe Berlin, with the meeting held on a Saturday after a club survey sought to ease attendance.
- The primary motion would allow full hybrid participation with equal speaking, motion, and voting rights for those joining online.
- A fallback proposal would authorize a members-only livestream without remote voting or speaking rights if the first motion fails.
- Parts of the active fan scene have campaigned against hybrid access, arguing for in-person community and guarding the sway that strong turnout has provided at past votes.
- Supporters cite low in-person turnout versus roughly 60,000 members and note precedents at Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund, while CEO Ralf Huschen is slated to present a finance update from the club’s ongoing consolidation course.
