Fundraising Initiated by Red-White Erfurt for the Decisivematch against Halle
FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt, in collaboration with various fan groups and the "Steigerwaldkurve", is organising a fundraising event on January 26, 2026, at the Steigerwaldstadion. The event is a significant part of the club's 60th anniversary celebrations, aiming to raise funds through donations, sponsorship money, and financial contributions from the club and GmbH.
The fundraising event will coincide with the top game in the football Regionalliga Nordost next Saturday, with a kick-off time of 2 pm. Fans are encouraged to contribute through cash donations or by returning deposit cups, both before and after the Halle game, as well as during halftime.
Michael Kummer, chairman of the honorary council, has stated that a five-figure sum is needed for the anniversary week. The specific purpose of the financial support that RWE will seek has not been disclosed.
Several other events are planned for the anniversary week, including a ceremony in the Erfurt town hall, a cultural evening, and an RWE party in the city garden. However, details about the collection of cash or deposit cups at the event, or a competition to win tickets for FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt's home game, have not been provided.
The fundraising event will also serve as promotion for FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt. For more information about the event and the club's 60th anniversary celebrations, fans are advised to keep an eye on the club's official website and social media channels.
