Borussia Neunkirchen in need: call for donations against bankruptcy!

VfB Borussia Neunkirchen, a traditional football club, is in a critical financial situation and is worried about its existence. The club, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year, has started a donation campaign under the motto "Old Love Lives" on the Gofundme crowdfunding platform to mobilize financial support. The board of directors of the association has already declared that 90,000 euros are needed to avert impending bankruptcy, since firmly guaranteed sponsorship funds have been removed at short notice and high old debts have a great impact on liquidity.

A new board team that started in October 2024 had big plans for the future, but is now faced with considerable financial challenges. The club's youth department currently has 160 members. Within five days after the start of the campaign, over 19,000 euros have already been collected. The donations can be made using various payment methods, including PayPal and credit card.

background of the crisis

The club plays in the sixth-class Saarland league today after being active in the 1st Bundesliga in the 1960s. As [T-Online] reported, numerous nationwide fan pages have supported the fundraising campaign, which gives the association hope for a positive turn. VfB Lübeck recently successfully carried out a similar rescue operation, which can serve as an example for the Neunkircheners to stabilize their financial situation.

The board asks the fans and the public for support to bring the club and the city of Neunkirchen back the shine of past days. The commitment of the supporters gives reason to hope in an otherwise uncertain time for the former Bundesliga club.
