Summer transfers 2025/26: All changes in the district league at a glance!
Things are going well in the district league: the transfer period for the 2025/26 season is in full swing! Many local teams have restructured their squads in order to best prepare for the new season. Again FuPa reports, numerous clubs have already worked diligently to strengthen or rejuvenate their teams and thus increase their chances in the coming season.
For example, CfB Ford Köln-Niehl 09/52 under coach Dogan Oymak has announced several new additions. Among the additions are the talented Jo Sasahara from their own second team as well as Hazim Jusic and Georgi Tomov. Yasin Özcakal from FSV Vatan Neuss will also be an important component in the team. Particularly noteworthy are the acquisitions of Berkay Özdas, who comes from DJK Grün-Weiß Nippes, and Yanik Noah Diaby, who is moving from the Adler Dellbrück 1922 sports club.
The competition never sleeps
But it's not just the CfB Ford Köln-Niehl 09/52 that has made changes. The DJK Südwest Köln has also signed two promising talents, Mika Berger and Max Jakob Berghaus. In addition, the team hopes to get back into the top regions of the table with a breath of fresh air after the departures of Dalan Fischer and Felix Tolksdorf.
If you look at FC Germania Zündorf 1913, you can see a clear focus on quality under coach Daniel Werken. With additions like Melvin Rosenthal and Ilias Merzouk, the aim is to prevent the departure of important players like Okan Adas and Jardel Miezi from leading to a weakening.
Clubs in a spirit of optimism
FC Hürth II, under the management of Fabian Montabel, has also done its homework. A promising talent was gained in Elyesa Kursunlu from Pulheimer SC 1924/57. The departures of Fabio Behrend and Noah Neuhaus will hurt, but hope for a successful season remains. It also looks like a new beginning at Heiligenhauser SV, as there were no departures reported and several additions are expected to strengthen the team.
SC Schwarz-Weiß Köln was also active. The coaching duo Pascal Frere and Sven Müller reported, among others, the new signing Sven Müller from SC Germania Geyen, while some players such as Davud Isa Tabur and Jonas Bockermann had to leave the club, which required a reorientation.
The transfers are not only important in the district league. A lot is also happening in the Bundesliga. The Bundesliga is planning the squad for the new season and the fans can look forward to exciting games again, while teams like Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are heavily active in the transfer market. The teams seem motivated to be successful in the coming season and have landed a number of interesting newcomers.
Overall, the upcoming season promises exciting encounters and interesting developments. The clubs in Cologne and the surrounding area are ready to do their best to enrich the football landscape and entertain the fans with exciting football!
