SpVgg Bayreuth after crowdfunding bankruptcy: What now for the club?

SpVgg Bayreuth is in a financial crisis that should be alleviated through a crowdfunding campaign. But the ambitious goal of 500,000 euros remains unreached, as only 127,306 euros were raised by July 21st. Even though the campaign runs until July 27th, it is already clear that the funds collected will not be enough to solve the pressing financial problems. The association's managing director, Nicole Kalemba, expresses concern and emphasizes the need for further support from the community and shareholders. The question remains: what happens next?

Kalemba, who has been working tirelessly to stabilize the club for over a year, is not letting her head down. “I'm tired,” she admits, while emphasizing that the road to financial recovery is long and difficult. However, she sees an abrupt end for SpVgg Bayreuth as unlikely, which gives rise to hope. “We have potential,” she explains, making it clear that she continues to work on solutions and continues discussions that should be concluded in the coming days.

Community support

However, the current status of the campaign raises the question of how SpVgg Bayreuth can survive financially in the future. Kalemba has repeatedly emphasized in the past that she would like to gain more supporters. It remains to be seen how the discussions will go in the next few days and whether faster solutions will actually be available. What is certain is that time is of the essence and the community is called upon to support the traditional club. “We are at a critical point,” says Kalemba, who relies on the trust of the shareholders and fans.

It remains exciting to see what happens next for SpVgg Bayreuth. The club undoubtedly has a loyal following, whose commitment is needed now more than ever - because only together can we close the financial gap and secure the future of the club.
