Overview
- Club members will vote on Sunday on whether to remove 'Greuther' from SpVgg Greuther Fürth and return to the historical name SpVgg Fürth.
- A fan group called 'Zurück zum SpVgg' has campaigned since 2018 and helped grow membership from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 to strengthen voting power.
- The club statute requires a 75 percent majority of voting members to approve a name change, which is why the campaign focused on recruiting new members.
- The club presidency says renaming could cost roughly €500,000 for signage, branding and kit changes while the campaign reports about €164,000 raised via CrowdFANding and roughly €280,000 in total so far.
- The presidency has declared official neutrality and will respect the vote, a phased implementation timetable has been proposed by campaigners, and former president Helmut Hack has publicly opposed the change.
