What TuS Koblenz 1911 does

TuS Koblenz 1911 e.V. is a traditional German football club based in Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate, founded in 1911. It is structured as a registered nonprofit association (eingetragener Verein) under member governance, with no parent company, no institutional investors, and no public listing. The club operates two principal business lines: a senior first team currently competing in the Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar (fifth tier) and the Schängelschmiede youth academy, which spans from a Bambini programme through to U19 teams. The U17 side achieved promotion to the DFB-Nachwuchsliga — Germany's highest youth competition — debuting in February 2026.

The club's revenue model is a multi-stream sports association construct comprising annual membership fees (including a lifelong tier), matchday ticket and season-ticket sales at Stadion Oberwerth, regional sponsorship and advertising income (anchored by main sponsor Outlet Montabaur, equipment partner Jako, and merchandising partner DKF), and merchandise sales through the official fanshop and the MCMXI brand line. The TuS Koblenz-Stiftung operates a supplementary fundraising channel for youth development, with Sparkasse Koblenz's Heimatlieben crowdfunding platform enabling donation matching. Distribution is overwhelmingly regional and direct: stadium matchday sales, the club's website (tuskoblenz.de), the fanshop e-commerce storefront (tuskoblenz-fanshop.de), and the in-person Geschäftsstelle at Jupp-Gauchel-Straße 18.

Commercially, TuS Koblenz runs a community-led go-to-market model anchored by the Schängelschmiede academy, digital media properties (TuS TV on YouTube, the 61 Meter podcast, TuS Magazin, Instagram), and a partnership ecosystem that includes strategic development ties to Eintracht Frankfurt's Nachwuchsleistungszentrum plus a wide roster of regional Premium Partners, Business Partners, and Jugendpaten. Leadership comprises President Christian Krey, Vice President Nils Lappahn, Sportvorstand Sam-Vincent Graef, Head Coach Michael Stahl (former player with 300+ appearances), and youth board member Oliver Feils. Headcount is reported at 11-50 staff.
