Support - Football associations donate 300,000 Euro after flood

After the floods in early June, several Football associations collectively donated 300,000 Euro for damaged clubs in Baden-Württemberg. To support the clubs in restoring their sports facilities, the Württemberg Football Association (WFV), German Football Association (DFB), and German Football League (DFL) each made 100,000 Euro available, according to the WFV.

"Since our clubs were affected very differently by this natural disaster, it is a great concern of ours to help where it is most necessary," said WFV President Matthias Schöck. "I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to DFB and DFL for their spontaneous pledge to increase the relief funds."

Plans call for affected clubs to receive initial, short-term, and bureaucracy-free emergency aid as soon as possible, the statement read. A final regulation should take place no later than the end of the year upon submission of damage reports.

Following the floods, the Baden-Württemberg state government expects damages exceeding 500 million Euro. Many sports clubs were also affected.

1. The Württemberg Football Association (WFV), being a part of the German Football Association (DFB), contributed 100,000 Euro towards the relief fund for damaged clubs in Baden-Württemberg after the floods.
2. Despite the unfavorable weather in Stuttgart, the German Football League (DFL) also offered 100,000 Euro to support the restoration of soccer facilities affected by the floods.
3. The German Football Association (DFB) and DFL's generous donations combined with the WFV's relief funds amounted to 300,000 Euro, helping clubs in Baden-Württemberg to overcome the devastating effects of the floods.
4. As a result of the floods in Baden-Württemberg, several sports clubs, including soccer clubs, have suffered significant damages, and the Baden-Württemberg Football Association (DFB-Landesverband) is actively seeking ways to aid them.
5. The floods in early June imposed immense damage on the sports infrastructure in Baden-Württemberg, and the DFL, along with other Football associations, is working diligently to provide emergency aid to affected soccer clubs as quickly as possible.
