St. Pauli Cooperative Takes Over Majority Stake in Stadium - FC St. Pauli secures stadium independence with historic stake purchase
FC St. Pauli has taken a significant step towards stadium independence. The club's cooperative has acquired a majority stake in the Millerntor-Stadion, with legendary figure Uli Hoeneß joining as a shareholder. This move allows FC St. Pauli to drive key investments, starting with the expansion of its performance center on Kollaustraße.
The cooperative, established in early 2024, aims to secure long-term member ownership of the stadium. With over 22,000 members, it has raised approximately €29 million. This financial backing has enabled the acquisition of the majority stake. The cooperative's members will gather at a general meeting on November 15, where detailed financial figures will be presented.
The expansion of the performance center is a key priority. This facility, located on Kollaustraße, will benefit both the club and the local community. The cooperative's independence ensures that FC St. Pauli can drive this and other key investments forward.
