The Hamburg Football Association (HFV) was founded on February 1, 1947 and is the umbrella organization of officially 401 football clubs in Hamburg and the surrounding area with 195,260 members and 3,185 teams. This makes the HFV one of the smallest of the 21 regional associations of the DFB , although its area also includes the entire Pinneberg district of the state of Schleswig-Holstein beyond the Hamburg city limits . In addition, other Schleswig-Holstein clubs from the southern parts of Stormarn and Lauenburg as well as some from the Segeberg district are members of the association. Up until a few decades ago, numerous clubs from Lower Saxony were still members of the HFV, but most clubs gradually switched to the Lower Saxony Football Association , leaving only Buxtehuder SV and Buchholz 08 as Lower Saxony member clubs in the HFV.

The HFV is based in Hamburg .

In total, approx. 55,000 compulsory and friendly matches including the associated referee appointments were carried out

At the same time, the HFV youth training center is for approx. 300 selection and approx. 350 base players.

Bureau

Dirk Fischer has been President of the association since November 2007 . His predecessor Friedel Gütt became honorary president. The other members of the Executive Committee with voting rights and their areas of responsibility are Carl-Edgar Jarchow (Vice President), Christian Okun (Treasurer), Joachim Dipner (Games Committee), Andrea Nuszkowski (Committee for Women and Girls), Jens Bendixen-Stach (Youth Committee), Frank Richter (Teaching Committee ), Christian Soltow (referee committee) and Claudia Wagner-Nieberding (assessor).

Hannelore Ratzeburg , member of the Presidium from 1974 to 2017 (Committee for Women and Girls) has also been Vice President for Women’s and Girls’s Football in the German Football Association (DFB) since 2007 . In June 2017 she handed the committee for women and girls over to Andrea Nuszkowski.

Christian Okun is also Vice President of the Hamburger Sportbund .

Karsten Marschner is the managing director.

Unlike in the neighboring regional associations SHFV and NFV , the association area is not divided into district and / or district associations. However, there are district referee committees (Alster, Bergedorf, Harburg, Nord, Ost, Pinneberg, Unterelbe and Walddörfer).

history

Youth home from 1952 to 1973 in Steinhorst (Lower Saxony) (2019)

The HFV is the successor to the Hamburg-Altonaer Fußball-Bund (1894 to 1907) and the district / district III Groß-Hamburg of the NFV, later NSV (1907 to 1933). After its forced self-dissolution in 1933, there was a district in the Nordmark Sportgau , from 1936: Greater Hamburg district, which operated as its own Gau Hamburg from 1942 to 1945 .

The democratic reconstruction of Hamburg already included a Hamburg association for physical exercises in August 1945 , from whose football division the HFV emerged in 1947. Martin Abraham Stock , later also in the DFB game committee, was involved and the first chairman was, as soon afterwards in the NFV, Heino Gerstenberg (until 1962). He was followed by Horst Barrelet (1963 to 1991), Gütt (until 2007) and Fischer. Paul Hauenschild was one of the former chairmen of the HAFB and the district until 1933 .

As the name suggests, associations from beyond the city limits had already belonged to the HAFB, namely those from Altona and the Pinneberg district . It stayed that way later on, with the clubs from Harburg and Wilhelmsburg being pushed back and forth several times between Hamburg, “North Hanover” and Lower Saxony.

financing

In 1948, the HFV and the Hamburger Sportbund were awarded the license for the football pool . Since then, state competitions have been one of the football association's main sources of funding, alongside contributions from member clubs. Since 1984, HSB and HFV have jointly received 15 percent of all revenue from state betting in Hamburg.

Since the budget period 2007 and 2008 there has been a sports funding contract that grants the Hamburger Sportbund basic funding in addition to the HFV and is renegotiated every 2 years. The distribution of sports funding between the two associations is intended as an instrument of social separation of powers and has been confirmed on the basis of decades of practice and the history of its origins.

A target agreement is regularly concluded with the city of Hamburg for the sports funding contract, which stipulates the use of the funds allocated.

Facilities

From 1957 to 2001 HFV operated the Paul-Hauenschild sports facility in Ochsenzoll in Norderstedt together with Hamburger SV . Hauenschild, a former chairman of the HSV (October 1927 - April 1928 and April 1949 - January 1950), determined in his will that the proceeds from his estate were earmarked for ox duty.

Since 2001 the HFV has had its own sports school on a former barracks site in Hamburg-Jenfeld . At the same time, he also moved his office from the HSB Haus des Sports building to Jenfeld.

In addition to the office, two soccer fields (one grass field and one artificial grass field) and a sports hall can be found on the premises in Jenfeld. The HFV trains trainers, supervisors and referees in its facilities. Accommodation during the courses takes place in our own hotel rooms.

League system

The upper league in the HFV is the Oberliga Hamburg (formerly Verbandsliga Hamburg ), which forms the 5th division across Germany. Below the upper league there are two national leagues (Hammonia and Hansa relay). The 7th grade is the four- tier district league (north, east, south, west). There is also an eight-tier district league, an eight-tier district class A as the 9th class and a six-tier district class B as the lowest Hamburg leagues .

Higher-class clubs

In the 2019/20 season, Hamburger SV ( 2nd Bundesliga ) and FC St. Pauli (ditto) will play in higher leagues than in the association's own leagues , plus the second teams of these two clubs as well as Eintracht Norderstedt and Altona 93 in the regional soccer league North .

Social Commitment

The HFV is committed to promoting norms and values in and through football. The communication of values is primarily about fair play, respect, tolerance and mutual respect. To this end, the HFV launched the "friendly and fair price" with Sparda-Bank. The prize honors teams and clubs for playing football fairly.

In addition, de HFV is dedicated to combating the dark side of values in the form of racism, homophobia, extremism and other discriminatory tendencies.

The promotion of people with a migration background is a particular focus. The funding takes place in cooperation with the Hamburger Sportbund . Individual projects are included. a. the integration award, the Kicking Girls project and many qualification measures (short training) for clubs and their members.

There are special programs that the HFV runs for socially disadvantaged people. These include, for example, an HFV sports camp, cooperation with duel behavior and the pilot project “Social work through football”.

The protection of children and adolescents from abuse and neglect (physical and emotional) is another particular concern of the HFV. The HRA introduced measures to review employees in the HRA and implemented an ombudsman. All member clubs in the HFV receive support for checking their employees.

There are various programs to prevent violence. These include a. Coolness days, cool down discussions, arbitration talks, conflict training and coolness coaching.

Volunteering

As a member of the DFB's "Aktion Ehrenamt", the HFV attaches great importance to volunteer work. What is important to him is the strengthening of the association base, the recruitment of voluntary association employees, the appreciation of voluntary work, qualification offers and improvement of the framework conditions for voluntary work as well as human cooperation. Without the honorary referees, equipment attendants, grounds attendants, coaches and helpers, there would be no Hamburg amateur football.

The association emphasizes volunteering by awarding the "Volunteer of the Month" prize and the "#ohnegehtsnicht" campaign created by media students. The #ohnegehtsnicht campaign promotes volunteer positions in football clubs virally on social media. It was created together with the media academy in Hamburg.

eSoccer

Since 2017, the HFV has been staging the "HFV eSports Championship" in addition to football. 32 clubs compete in teams with 2 players each on the PlayStation in the game FIFA . The first championship took place on September 23, 2017 in the HFV sports hall. The winner of the first "HFV eSports Championship" was the Niendorfer TSV with the players Nico Kukuk and Tarek Abdalla. The second "HFV eSports Championship" took place on February 11, 2018 in the HFV sports hall.

The DFB has been defining e-soccer for itself and its regional associations since April 2018. Therefore, from now on, games will also be used as e-soccer in the HFV.

On September 15, 2018, the 3rd Hamburg e-Soccer Championship will also be the qualifying tournament for the 1st German e-Soccer Championship, which took place on September 22, 2018 on the HFV site.

Since 2019, the HFV has been the first national association to offer its own eSoccer league.

The game is played in a 2 vs. 2 mode in face-to-face events. This particularly takes into account the promotion of popular sport.
