team changes and future prospects

The need for problem awareness among clubs is also of great importance, especially due to negative membership trends, as is emphasized by the DFB Academy. It suggests a predictive analysis of the club situation to develop and implement innovative club concepts.

The DFB Academy recommends that all club members actively integrate to promote identification and to show new ideas and offers openly.

A consciously turning out the typical strengths of the association could help create an unmistakable profile.
