MAINZ (dpa-AFX) – FSV Mainz 05 is not really satisfied with the decision to distribute the television money. “The DFL Presidium’s decision to distribute media revenues must be viewed differently,” Jan Lehmann, commercial director of the Bundesliga club, said on Monday. It is basically going in the right direction and includes good aspects, such as a greater consideration of youth work or interest in clubs as well as a greater weighting of the fair distribution.
“In particular, this will reduce the margin in the distribution of media revenues between the biggest clubs and the smallest clubs within the Bundesliga, which was also the main concern of the letter signed jointly by a total of 14 clubs. , said. “On the other hand, we would have liked an even stronger signal of solidarity and in favor of a fair sports competition.”
At the end of the season, the Bundesliga table largely reflects the financial resources used by the clubs and not actual sports performance. “Therefore, there is a need to make additional and more sustainable changes to the professional soccer system,” Lehmann emphasized.
The German Football League had previously decided to distribute television backgrounds more evenly among the 36 Bundesliga clubs and the 2nd division. The basis for the distribution from the commercialization of national media rights in the 2021/22 to 2024/25 seasons is a new four-pillar model.
The “equitable distribution” category represents 53 percent of income in the first two years, after that it is still 50 percent. Performance for the past five seasons is weighted initially at 42 percent, then 43 percent. According to the DFL, the rest is made up of the pillars “young talent” and “interest.” / Ac / DP / men
