Overview

• HSV Hamburg's participation in the 2025/26 Handball-Bundesliga was initially conditional on closing a €2 million liquidity gap.
• The independent licensing commission had set a strict deadline of May 5, 2025, for the club to meet the financial requirement.
• On April 30, 2025, the required funds were successfully transferred, and the Handball-Bundesliga confirmed full compliance with licensing conditions.
• Investor Philipp J. Müller played a crucial role in securing the funding, working closely with club leadership to finalize the solution.
• The club now has full planning security for the upcoming season, avoiding the risk of relegation due to financial non-compliance.
