Regionalliga Nordost demands fair seasons for clubs!

In an urgent appeal, twelve clubs from the Regionalliga Nordost, including prominent teams such as Chemnitzer FC and SV Babelsberg 03, have expressed their concerns about the current division of the game systems. They turned to the Northeast German Football Association (NOFV) in a position paper and criticized the excessive influence of the media representatives, which has led to a massive pressure on the clubs since the extension of the TV contract with "OSTSPORT.TV" by five years in June this year. "It is not acceptable that the TV marketing is being placed on the interests of the clubs," said Chemnitz FC on its website and calls for a return to the central role of clubs in the game, as основы (basis) of football.

In their communication, the clubs emphasize the need for the games to be served at 2 p.m. and that the kick -off times during the week should not begin before 7 p.m. This is a response to the numerous challenges that arise from the short -term game systems that make planning for the clubs and the mobilization of the audience more difficult. Many players have to be employed, which must be taken into account when determining the kick -off times. The signatories argue that the current practice has "serious negative effects on the clubs", and they strive for a sustainable change that promotes "fair and transparent coexistence"

The list of supporting clubs also includes current top teams such as Hallescher FC and FSV Zwickau, while clubs like Hertha 03 Zehlendorf and Viktoria Berlin have not joined the letter. The demands of these clubs could lead to significant discussions within the NOFV in the coming time and possibly have an impact on the future planning of the games, as well as ndr reported.
