Olympic Champion Laura Ludwig Eyes HSV Leadership Role

The former beach volleyball star is part of a proposed trio vying for positions in the Hamburg football club's presidency as Marcell Jansen steps down.

Marcell Jansen, president of Hamburger SV since 2019, has announced he will not seek re-election and will step down this summer.
Laura Ludwig, a 2016 Olympic gold medalist in beach volleyball, is reportedly seeking a position in the HSV presidency, focusing on the club's sports operations.
Ludwig is part of a proposed leadership team alongside businessman Frank Ockens, who is running for president, and Ralph Hartmann, a candidate for treasurer.
The HSV club statutes do not clearly allow for team candidacies, raising questions about the trio's eligibility to run together.
The election to select Jansen's successor will take place during the HSV member assembly on June 21, with candidates able to submit applications until May 2.
