Overview

  • The HSV Beirat disqualified club legend Felix Magath from the June 21 presidential election, citing concerns over his focus on professional football rather than the broader sports club.
  • Approximately a dozen appeals have been submitted to the HSV Ehrenrat by members challenging the Beirat's decision as potentially harmful to the club.
  • The Ehrenrat has confirmed receipt of these appeals and announced plans to review the matter in the coming days, though no final ruling has yet been made.
  • Fan club 'Hermann’s treue Riege' issued an open letter criticizing Magath’s exclusion, arguing it limits the candidate pool and undermines member choice.
  • Magath has publicly expressed respect for the Beirat’s decision but described it as substantively incomprehensible during a fan club visit.
