SV Bergisch Gladbach 09

What SV Bergisch Gladbach 09 does

SV Bergisch Gladbach 09 e.V. is a registered non-profit amateur football club founded in 1909 and based in Bergisch Gladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It fields a comprehensive pyramid of teams including men's first and second squads, a women's first team, 28+ youth teams across boys' and girls' age groups from U7 to U19, and a Special Team providing inclusive football for players with disabilities. Home operations run from the KRÜGER GROUP Jugendsportpark (Flora) youth sports park and the BELKAW Arena. In 2025, the club achieved promotion to the Regionalliga West, the fourth tier of German football, marking a competitive step-up.

The club's product surface extends beyond league play to include the 09 Academy and Nullneun Academy individual-development programs, the Isotec-Sportcup youth tournament across U9–U13 age groups, and school-holiday football camps co-organized with Kreissparkasse Köln. Business model is member-based non-profit: revenue is generated through membership fees, sponsorship arrangements (Kreissparkasse Köln, ICS Druck, SteinGruppe, reloga, Fassbrause/Gaffel, SL Praxisbedarf, Sport Lavit, and municipal partner Stadt Bergisch Gladbach), donations, matchday income, and program fees. Financial statements are not publicly disclosed, consistent with German e.V. structure.

Operationally the club is supported by an elected board (President Lutz Urbach, 1st Chairman Klaus-Dieter Becker, Board Member for Marketing/Communications Jörg Tacke, Board Member for Finance Thomas Weyers) and a supervisory body (Verwaltungsrat), with 11 paid employees supplemented by volunteer coaches. In June 2025 the club formalized a partnerverein relationship with FC-Akademie, creating a structured youth-development pathway. There is no AI/ML component to the business; underlying technology is traditional sports infrastructure (football pitches, training facilities, club offices) plus basic digital communications (official website, WhatsApp channel, Facebook, and the Stadionmagazin Nullneuner print/PDF magazine).
