Overview
- The club announced it had terminated the 2011 cooperation agreement with Hasan Ismaik’s HAM International on Thursday after the KGaA failed to prove the €2.7 million DFB licence guarantee.
- The e. V. has received BFV clearance to field a Regionalliga Bayern team but must quickly create a new operating company and raise funds to cover lost revenue and existing season-ticket obligations.
- Ismaik has said he will legally review the termination, making injunctions and prolonged court proceedings the most likely next steps and leaving his 60 percent KGaA stake without the playing-rights core value.
- Most of the current professional squad lack Regionalliga-level contracts and the club faces probable player departures, coach uncertainty and urgent sponsor negotiations with parties including Die Bayerische.
- Separately, Germany’s squad lost Bayern winger Lennart Karl to a left-thigh muscle-bundle tear on Friday and Julian Nagelsmann has officially called up Assan Ouédraogo as his replacement for the World Cup.
