Stobbe, Sobek and Alvermann Win 1. FC Köln Leadership Vote With 65%

A first-round majority gives the trio a clear mandate to pursue member-backed reforms.

Overview

  • The Mitgliederrat-nominated Team FC secured 64.97% in the first ballot, defeating Team Next Level FC at about 25% and Team FC Wahl 25 at about 10%.
  • Roughly 5,600–6,000 members attended an eight-hour meeting at the Müngersdorfer Stadion in the club’s first three-way board election, which remained orderly despite charged speeches.
  • The winners replace outgoing president Werner Wolf and vice-presidents Eckhard Sauren and Carsten Wettich, who chose not to run again.
  • The slate campaigned to anchor the stadium at Müngersdorf, reject outside investors, and pursue statute and legal-form changes that could include a return to an e.V.
  • Priorities include €50 million for a new youth performance centre and expansion of the Geißbockheim training site, with backing signaled from active fan groups and the club’s advisory board.
