Special gesture: Vuskovic brothers buy into HSV! | OneFootball

At HSV, the project of establishing its own fan cooperative is gaining momentum at high speed. On Tuesday evening, the founding meeting of the so-called “Supporters Trust” took place at the Volksparkstadion.

As Bild reports, due to strong demand, more than 150 founding shareholders took part instead of the 100 members originally planned. For now, the focus is mainly on formal steps, including votes and subsequent reviews by the cooperative association and the local court.

If these are completed as expected by mid-May, the first official participation phase could begin around the end of the Bundesliga season. Initially, HSV members and season-ticket holders will receive an exclusive pre-emption right to cooperative shares, each costing €887. The goal is to use the proceeds to acquire shares in the spun-off professional division and thus provide additional funds for infrastructure projects.

HSV cooperative: Jarolim and Hrubesch also involved!

Even at the founding stage, shares worth around one million euros were subscribed. In the first public phase, the issue is limited to 18,870 shares with a total volume of €16.7 million. Among other things, the money is to be invested in modernizing the stadium, such as improved safety netting, catering areas, and sanitary facilities. There are also long-term plans to expand capacity to 60,000 seats.

Among the founding members are well-known names from the club’s history, such as Horst Hrubesch and David Jarolim. The brothers Luka Vuskovic and Mario Vuskovic are also making a special statement by financially backing HSV as well. Both have repeatedly emphasized their close ties to the club in the past, especially since HSV supported Mario Vuskovic during his ongoing doping proceedings.

In addition to construction measures, future investments are also planned for social projects, the club’s history, and fan services. The cooperative is therefore intended not only to generate capital, but also to strengthen supporters’ say in club matters.
