FSV Oberwalluf in crisis: Cooperation with youth development association breaks down

Football in Oberwalluf is facing a decisive turning point. On June 29, 2025, SG Walluf ended its cooperation with the youth development association (JFV). FSV Oberwalluf, which plays in the district league and is currently in sixth place, is faced with the consequences. Volker Boehnke from FSV expressed his concern about the SG's departure. This development meant that the JFV effectively no longer exists, which seriously endangers youth work in the club. Future youth work seems uncertain for FSV Oberwalluf at the moment Wiesbaden courier emerges.

The situation is particularly tragic because the cooperation between SG Walluf and the JFV was previously consistently positive. With the departure of the SG, those responsible at the FSV are faced with enormous challenges. The hope of being able to continue to maintain one's own youth work is gone. These uncertainties not only affect the current players, but also the future generation of football talent in the region.

Back to the roots

Amidst this restructuring, however, there are bright spots. For the coming 2025/26 season, Sascha Brox and Markus Neuser have taken over the coaching position at FSV Oberwalluf. This return of the successful coaching duo is a positive sign and could help to redefine the club's sporting direction. Tobias Kopetzky, who has been active as both a player and a coach since 2018 and led the team to promotion in 2023, is no longer available due to time constraints. This creates space for Brox and Neuser, who worked together as coaches at FSV ten years ago FuPa reported.

Andre Seifert and Volker Boehnke from the FSV's sporting management have confirmed the return of the two coaches. The club is also already planning the squad structure for the coming season in order not to lose touch with the top places in the league.

Challenges and opportunities in youth work

The Badischer Sportbund Freiburg, which provides subsidies for licensed specialist staff in clubs, could offer support for the trainers. This support of up to 500 euros per trainer per year is an important incentive to attract qualified staff and strengthen youth work. This could be particularly important for FSV Oberwalluf, which is under great pressure due to the current situation in the youth department SBFV shows.

Part-time trainers or trainers in non-profit sports clubs can also benefit from a trainer allowance, which allows them to earn up to 2,400 euros annually tax-free. These opportunities could help to revitalize youth work at FSV Oberwalluf and restore confidence in the club's future.

The challenges are clear, but the return of experienced coaches and potential financial help could be the key to keeping youth work and the sporting level in Oberwalluf stable. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and what measures will be taken to continue youth work despite the adverse circumstances.
