A lot is happening in football in Halstenbek-Rellingen. SV Halstenbek-Rellingen is going into the 2025/2026 league season with a squad shake-up. After two years with assured relegation and a healthy mix of proven players and fresh, promising newcomers, the club hopes to stay in the league again. The motto of the coming season couldn't be more appropriate: "Squad shakeup with proven forces and promising new additions," as Transfermarkt reports.

Nine new faces are expected to strengthen and rejuvenate the squad. They include Alexandros Kotzapanagiotou from VfR Horst and Aytunc Isik from Altona 93 II. These new additions could be the key to success. In addition, ten top performers from last season are still on board, including Marcel Jobmann and Patrick Hoppe. Particularly noteworthy is the return of Frederic Ernst, who is coming back to the team after an exciting trip around the world and is expected to bring a breath of fresh air.

Former players and new challenges

However, the change in the squad also brings with it various departures. A total of twelve players had to leave the club, including names like Tim Moritz and Jan Eggers, who are now looking for new challenges in the football landscape. The club would like to thank everyone who is leaving the club and emphasizes their commitment and loyalty.

Despite the changes, the club is “full of confidence” about the coming season. The clear goal is to stay in the Gamesright Oberliga Hamburg. Given the latest challenges in amateur football, as we learned from Sportschau, ambition and passion for the sport are essential.

Focus on integrity

In recent months there have been critical reports about possible match-fixing in the Hamburg Oberliga, which is endangering the reputation of amateur football. Despite the betting ban, which has been in effect since 2015, it is rumored that manipulation still occurs. Christian Okun, President of the Hamburg Football Association, appeals to the integrity of everyone involved, while some coaches also question whether the league is really clean.

Full support also comes from other parts of amateur football, where the aim is to promote love of the sport and passion, without external influences such as betting that could jeopardize the integrity of the game. SV Halstenbek-Rellingen is faced with the exciting challenge of reshaping the squad and at the same time relying on the values ​​of fair play in order to gain a foothold in the top league.
