😳 Raid at club offices: former Bundesliga side faces collapse again | OneFootball

The Ellenfeld Stadium in the Saarland city of Neunkirchen can accommodate over 21,000 fans. Borussia played here in the 1960s once in the Bundesliga.

The traditional club, which many probably only know from Bundesliga chronicles, can currently only dream of professional football. Instead, the sixth-tier club is currently fighting for its sheer survival.

After the Saarlanders were financially rescued by Borussia Mönchengladbach in the summer, the next fiasco now looms. As reported by 'kicker' among others, there was a raid at the Neunkirchen office.

The reason: The sixth-tier club is said to have received illegal sponsorship money in the five-figure range. If the suspicion is confirmed, the club would likely have to repay the entire amount.

Due to the still tense situation, this could have serious consequences for the former Bundesliga club. At the end of October, coach Jan Berger unexpectedly resigned from the former DFB-Pokal finalist.

Under the leadership of assistant coach Jörg Backes, Borussia Neunkirchen is currently in the no man's land of the Saarlandliga (ninth place).
