FC Dornbirn threatens to exclude - bankruptcy brings relegation specters!

Another chapter in the turbulent history of FC Dornbirn: After relegation from the second division into the Regionalliga West, the club is now facing the next setback. As part of a decision that was decided with the votes of the regional associations of Tyrol and Salzburg, the Regionalliga-West Commission has the exclusion of FC Dornbirn due to an insolvency proceedings running during the season. This reported, among other things, fan.at .

The situation of the club is heading, because if the exclusion is confirmed, three teams would have to relegate in all country leagues. FC Dornbirn has already announced that it would take a protest from the ÖFB appeal, hoping to avert the decision. Those responsible are visibly trying to continue the association, because another descent would have catastrophic consequences for the club.

financial difficulties in football

But not only FC Dornbirn fights with the financial spirits. The Regionalliga West is currently facing real chaos because several clubs are in trouble. For example, Türkspor Dortmund has already withdrawn his first team, and the 1. FC Düren is located after the opening of insolvency proceedings without a team. Like N-tv reported, the players of the Dürener Kaders were able to terminate their contracts with immediate effect in order to enable financial damage limitation.

Düren is under enormous pressure, since a financial gap of 100,000 euros has to be closed by Friday in order to maintain the game. In order to contest the remaining six outstanding games that could possibly decide on relegation, the club is planning to form an emergency squad from the second team and the U19.

The location remains tense

With the KFC Uerdingen, another association has applied for insolvency proceedings and is therefore on a dangerous relegation zone. The situation in the Regionalliga West remains tense. The impending departures from other teams from the leagues could further destabilize the already shaky substructure of Austrian football.

FC Dornbirn is meanwhile required to use all options to avert an exclusion. It remains to be seen whether the protests will have an effect. One thing is certain: the next few weeks will be decisive for the club and the entire Regionalliga West.
