DSV Leoben on the abyss: Insolvency proceedings threaten the traditional club!
The DSV Leoben is at a crucial turning point in its history: The traditional club from the regional league Mitte faces an bankruptcy application of twelve former players and supervisors. These legal steps will be submitted on Tuesday, while in parallel 18 current players demand outstanding payments. Reports from laola1.at for some time and has now had to stand up to the consequences.
The financial difficulties of the DSV Leoben are not new. A large number of players have been waiting for their salaries for months, some even up to three months. The last deadline for payments expired on Monday, which resulted in an escalation of the situation. The responsible legal representation, lawyer Robert Palka from the Younion sports union, describes the demands as the result of a generous accommodation of the clients. The total amount that is owed to the DSV amounts to a five-digit amount that has already been legally decided in connection with the former players, such as Zeitung reported.

In the meantime, the situation of the association has become even more complicated due to serious allegations of fraud. In December 2023, the investigation against various club officials began and house searches were carried out, with numerous data carriers being confiscated. Although these investigations have not yet been completed, the DSV Leoben is now also at risk of sporting consequences: If the GmbH that operates the fighting team is sent to bankruptcy, a descent to the Styrian Landesliga, the fourth highest in Austrian football, would result. This dramatic step backwards would remove the team for miles from the originally desired “Mission 2028”.| Details | |
