Soccer – Freiburg im Breisgau – SCF makes a profit despite Corona: Fugmann new President – Sport

Freiburg (dpa) – Despite a lack of audience income from the coronavirus pandemic and a largely self-financed new stadium, SC Freiburg was able to present a successful balance sheet on Wednesday. The Bundesliga soccer team even made a profit of 9.8 million euros in the 2020/2021 financial year (previous year: 0.1 million euros). “The transfer income is the reason why we got through the crisis so well,” said SC CFO Oliver Leki at the association’s first general meeting in two years – for the first time in the Sick Arena at the Neue Messe in Freiburg.

At the event, the former Freiburg school director Eberhard Fugmann was elected as the new SC President by a large majority. Of 661 members entitled to vote, only four voted against Fugmann, 23 abstained. Fugmann is the successor to Fritz Keller, who resigned in 2019. Since then the office has not been occupied.

Of the 110.1 million euros in sales (previous year 89.2 million) in the past season, the sales of Luca Waldschmidt, Robin Koch and Alexander Schwolow in particular led to around 37.3 million euros (previous year 17.5 million). while ticketing was close to zero. The balance sheet total of 132.2 million euros (previous year 108.4 million), but above all the equity of the SC of 93 million euros (previous year 83.3 million euros) “expresses the stability of the association, which is exceptional in the situation” , says Leki.

After the state government decided on a 2G option model in its new Corona regulation, Leki announced that the club wanted to use this from the home game against Fürth (October 30). “We consider that to be correct in the difficult overall assessment,” said the SC board, because this is the only way to fully utilize the new Europa-Park stadium. Leki would have “wished that it would have been possible with a PCR test as in Bavaria”.

The chairman of the SC supervisory board, Heinrich Breit, announced that the contracts of the board members Leki and Saier have been extended until 2024.
