Fan protest against DFL in Nuremberg: "Not part of your deal"

Bundesliga 2 - Fan protest against DFL in Nuremberg: "Not part of your deal"

Fans of the two traditional clubs also protested against the German Football League 's decision to bring in investors at the second division match between 1 FC Nuremberg and Hamburger SV. "We won't be part of your deal - fuck the DFL!" was written on large banners in front of the FCN supporters' stands and the opposite visitors' block at the Nuremberg stadium on Saturday.

The Ultra fans also joined the boycott announced at the start of the match. Before and after kick-off, they initially refrained from their usual vociferous support for their teams. As a result, it was quite quiet in the Max Morlock Stadium, which was filled with around 40,000 spectators. Tennis balls were thrown onto the pitch from the Nuremberg block, which led to a brief interruption shortly after the start of the match.

At the general meeting on Monday, the German Football League (DFL) received a mandate from the professional clubs to enter into concrete negotiations with a strategic marketing partner. A financial investor is to pay up to one billion euros for a percentage share of the TV revenues. The contract is to have a maximum term of 20 years. This agreement is not very popular with many club supporters.
