New board team of 1. FC Köln: Who is leading the club into the future?

Köln, Deutschland - The 1. FC Köln faces a directional board election, which will take place in autumn 2025. The member council has now announced the names of the proposed team, which from Jörn Stobbe as President and Vice President Prof. Dr. Ulf Sobek and Dr. Jörg Alvermann exists. These personal details have the potential to bring a breath of fresh air to the club and to set the course for the future. According to Express was Jörn Stobbe before Square on the FC supervisory board. Most recently he was even the chairman of this committee.

Ulf Sobek, as a former athletics coach of the 1st FC Köln and current supervisor of the U20 national team, has valuable experience at the DFB. Jörg Alvermann, on the other hand, is not only a tax lawyer, but also a youth coach at Blau-Weiß Cologne, which gives him a special perspective on the promotion of young talent of the association. For Stobbe it is important to "connect people and build bridges", while Sobeb emphasizes the importance of youth and the increase in market values. Alvermann also works for statutory and structural reforms as well as the strengthening of the membership rights.

alternative teams in the race

But the decision is not easy. In addition to the proposed team, there are two other alternative groups of candidates who also hope for the votes of the members. The first team includes entrepreneur Wilke Strom, former FC player Tugba Tekkal and the lawyer Carsten Wettich. The second team consists of politicians Sven-Georg Adenauer, butcher Martin Hollweck and management consultant Thorsten Kiesewetter. These alternatives have been presented with their own concepts and have already collected 4,500 signatures to be approved for election.

But how does the choice actually work? The procedure is regulated in the Civil Code (BGB) and stipulates that the election usually takes place during the general meeting. The members decide with a simple majority, with more than 50 % votes in favor to choose a candidate. Members who are affected themselves must not vote. So it remains exciting which team ultimately does the race and the support of the members, because responsibility is not low: the board is the most important executive body of an association and implements the resolutions of the members.

planned initiatives and non -profit commitment

Stobbe, Sobek and Alvermann have already sketched some initiatives that they want to initiate as soon as they are in office. This includes the expansion of non -profit engagement and the promotion of popular sports as well as integration. These topics are not only important for the club members, but also for the entire community in which 1. FC Köln is rooted. This makes it clear that the election is an important matter not only for the association, but also for the city of Cologne.

In fact, the new board promises an exciting phase for 1. FC Köln, in which the focus is on promoting young talents and strengthening the membership rights. The next few months will decide whether the Stobbe, Sobek and Alvermann team will receive the trust of the members and continue the positive development.
