SSV Reutlingen 1905 Fußball e.V.

What SSV Reutlingen 1905 Fußball e.V. does

SSV Reutlingen 1905 Fußball e.V. is a German non-profit football association (eingetragener Verein) founded in 1905 and based at Stadion an der Kreuzeiche in Reutlingen, Baden-Württemberg. The club operates a multi-team structure comprising a senior men's first team competing in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg (fifth tier of German football), a women's team promoted to the Landesliga in 2026, a veteran (AH) side, and a youth program spanning U10 through U19, including a U17 squad in the Junioren-Bundesliga. Total playing membership is approximately 250 across 13 teams, supported by 13 paid staff and an SSV Akademie offering field-player and goalkeeper schools, football camps, and a Performance Camp.

The business model is a member-supported sports association with five distinct revenue streams: matchday ticketing (via the Ditix.io platform from Diginights), tiered corporate sponsorship (Hauptpartner Medipartner, equipment supplier Jako, plus Premiumpartner and Basispartner tiers including Hirschburger Frischdienst, Romina Mineralbrunnen, EasyDataSec, and Berg Brauerei), membership fees, merchandise and shop sales, and academy/camp fees. Stadium hospitality, the EasyDataSec Businesslounge, and on-site concessions (Romina beverages, Hirschburger food) generate additional matchday income. Distribution is regional and direct, with a dedicated Leiter Partnerschaften und Sponsoring leading commercial sales.

The underlying technology footprint is modest and characteristic of a German amateur Verein: a WordPress website with standard plugins (Ninja Firewall, Borlabs Cookie, Google Web Fonts, Google Analytics), embedded FuPa.net statistics widgets, a Diginights/Ditix.io iFrame ticketing integration, and YouTube for video content. There is no proprietary platform, no app, and no public API. Governance is provided by a Vorstand (1. Vorsitzender Sascha Schneider; 2. Vorsitzender Yosef Yebio and Christian Grießer) and an Aufsichtsrat (Mario Kolb, Ines Hahn, Jochen Weigl), with a Sportlicher Leiter, Cheftrainer Thomas Herbst, and a women's team coach (Julia Mahler) running the sporting side. The club is member-owned, with no external investors, parent entity, or subsidiaries.
