License for new season without conditions
Good news for FC Augsburg. Not just sporty. In the Bundesliga the Augsburgers are still in the fight for international places And, now, are among the top three teams in the second half of the season. The responsible persons also work properly financially. At least the German football league (DFL) granted the FCA the license for the new season without conditions or conditions.
« This year again we have met all the necessary prerequisites for the licensing procedure. The positive decision of the DFL encourages us in our approach to consistently continue the path of reasonable economic action at FC Augsburg, » explained FCA managing director Michael Ströll. So far, the DFL has not refused to play entitlement to the game from league one and two and the applicants from League Three. However, some clubs have to meet conditions by the beginning of June. The Augsburgers are not one of them.
This confirms the path taken again. Although the financial challenges are not less. The amount of the budget for the upcoming round also depends on the sporting performance this season. If, for example, Werder Bremen pass the Augsburgers in the table on the four outstanding match days, less income threatens. Due to the resulting slipping on TV money, the FCA could lack five million euros in the FCA. This would make the project significantly more difficult to hold up or even strengthen the current squad.
FCA professionals are increasingly in focus
However, if the big hit succeeds with the qualification for international business, this could offer new opportunities. « Of course we want to attack and stand in the table as high as possible. That means more money for the club and increases the chances of keeping players and getting one or two players, » said coach Jess Thorup.
Some Augsburg professionals have recently played into focus and could arouse the interest of wealthy clubs. For example, VfB Stuttgart should be interested in Alexis Claude-Maurice. Chrislain Matsima, Finn Dahmen or Dimitrios Giannoulis have also attracted attention through good performances. According to information from our editorial team, however, no specific inquiries or even offers should have been received.
The FCA can look forward to paying the European Football Association UEFA. The Augsburgers receive almost 600,000 euros for the meals of qualification and the European Championship last year. Much of it falls back on Ruben Vargas, who was there for Switzerland at the end tournament in Germany.
