An outlook on the next challenges
Sports director Thomas Kösling emphasizes that the playoffs are not an issue at the moment and that the team needs to concentrate more on achieving a stable level. The problems seem to lie deeper, and Kösling admits that after the season all aspects will have to be questioned. Despite the current difficulties, he also sees positive approaches for the future, especially through coaches who have a connection to the European football scene.
The Frankfurt Galaxy have played a significant role in the league, not least in the founding of the new European Football Alliance (EFA). However, this is not in a position to make profits, which Kösling criticizes. “There is a lack of economic transparency,” he states, and warns that without reforms there is a risk of withdrawal from the ELF by the end of the season. In addition, the number of spectators is falling, and Kösling is calling for a reduction in the number of teams to create more excitement within the league.
Injuries in football
In a broader context, the problem of injuries in sport should not be underestimated. A recent study shows that injury rates have increased again in Europe's top leagues. The Bundesliga in particular has recorded the most injuries with 1,255 injuries, which should raise alarm bells. This can possibly be attributed to the increased stress caused by the expansion of the game plan, which the Frankfurt Galaxy also have to feel. As the Study of football data shows, on average there was an injury every 52 minutes - a value that is above the league average of 92 minutes.
The next game for the Frankfurt Galaxy is already coming up. They have to compete in Cologne on July 19, 2025. The team is required to stabilize quickly if it wants to achieve its season goal.
