Deep dives
Impact of the CVC Deal on German Football Fans
The proposed CVC deal, aimed at selling a percentage of media rights in the Bundesliga, raised concerns among German fans who prioritize the 50 plus one rule. This rule ensures fans, as club members, maintain majority ownership in football clubs, allowing them to influence decisions and maintain a strong connection with their clubs. German fans value this ownership structure as it reflects community involvement, historical context, and a sense of identity tied to their football clubs.
