More and more information is now emerging about Rhein Fire's new ownership structure. Managing Director Thywissen said in an interview that it was a capital increase and that all 11 owners are still on board. The first changes are now also visible in the commercial register.

Although no changes are yet apparent in the commercial register for Rhein Fire's operating company, changes are already evident among its largest shareholders. As reported here on Reddit three months ago, Rhein Fire's “new” owners have consolidated their shares into a joint GmbH, namely “Number Three GmbH.” It was made public today that Joe Nagel is now the new majority owner of this company.

With this change, Nagel now holds 90% of Rhein Fire's 65.64%, or approximately 58.824% of Rhein Fire in total.

It's quite possible that this percentage will continue to rise once Rhein Fire's commercial register is updated as well; that can always take a little while. Maybe already tomorrow. So please consider this the current status as of 4:00 p.m. today

Old Reddit post from three months ago about the Number Three Gmbh :

https://www.reddit.com/r/EuroHuddle/comments/1u25sup/rhein_fire_owner_structure/

There is an article in the Berliner Morgenpost (newspaper) that the old Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark is now finally demolished and that the new stadium is avaible at the end of 2028.

Thunder played there from 2021 to 2024.

The picture is from this week with 2 local politicians

So lets see what's the future brings for Berlin Football.

According to some changes in the swiss commercial register ,the company behind the rams has a new owner :

Mr. Joshua Fitzgerald

He is now

• Owner (100%)
• Managing director
• General manager
• Head Coach
• Offensive Coordinator

That's what we call an all-rounder

Same procedure as every month ?

Just when you tought it couldn't get any worse for Firenze it seems they have a new Head Coach again. Number 4 for this year.

It seems, that Firenze and the AFLE didn't really want to make a big deal out of it this time—at least I can't find any official statement, announcement, or anything like that. So classic hiding tactic

The new head coach is : John Leijten

Who started this season in Firenze as the DB Coach, then got promoted to DC and seems to be now the HC. What a career in just a few weeks.

Does anyone know when Mike Mitchell left ?

Source :

Firenze posted yesteday a statement on Instagram and in the description he was mentioned as HC and the AFLE already updated their website. See the picture.

Conclusion :

Another european football team (aka shitshow) run by Bart Iaccarino. Will there be an award for GM of the year in the AFLE Honors ? He's sure to get my vote.

After all the great news about the "only real league in Europe" (wording from the president and the commissioner) , here's the next story.

It looks like they've closed some sections and reorganized the categories in others, which has led to price reductions in some cases.

Based on the current situation, I'd estimate that there are only about 10,000 tickets available for purchase.

At this point, I'd like to extend my warmest congratulations to the AFLE politely ask whether the 12 million will be spent soon?

And yes i know that the EFA will probably have the same bad attendance at there Big4 Weekend / Championship Game. But hey they are not a real league ;)

Unfortunately, I could only find an old screenshot of the previous layout in a Facebook group, which is why the image quality is poor.

Just when you think the roster can't get any better, a signing like this comes along.

After Lachmann alone destroyed the entire Vikings O-line in the 2025 ELF Final and really taught them a lesson, his journey now continues in Vienna. True to the motto: Better to bring them to us than let them go to the opponent

It's just insane.

After Rhein Fire destroyed Wroclaw today, i remembered a Facebook posting from one of Rhein Fires Co-Owner (Mirko Kürten)from a few months ago, where he tried to encouraged Fans that the AFLE will be exciting

Translation of the picture :

Mirko : Just wait and see.... I see Warsaw and London as evenly matched opponents... and let's see what else happens in Paris

Christian : On the same level :DD The final has been set

Mirko : Remember that London has been a well-established team for years

Yes Warsaw... Which not evens plays in the league, but hey Warsaw and Wroclaw at least its the same country..

I think his prediction didn't age very well after the results

Fire @ Warriors 43:6

Fire vs Lights 35:0

Fire vs Panthers 48:7

But hey maybe the return matches will be exciting :D Yeah good joke .. I know

A month ago i posted an information that the EFA company is owned only by an registered association.

Now the there is new update online and the first investors seems to be on board

Please see the overview below

Enter the company name : EFA Football Services GmbH

My questions / comments :

1. No Shares for the Nordic Storm ? Only current team without direct shares ?
2. Who the hell is Jörg Philipp ? Looks like he owns a bus company from tirol , which has the nightliner/ sleepers buses the Raiders and Raven are often using ? Looks like he holds half the share of the Raiders and the other half stays with a company from the Svarowski / Swarco empire ? Does anyone know him ? Does the "Chefin" (boss) vom Tirol really let somebody else be involved in the Raiders Tirol ?
3. Why does Gandler have two Shares with two different comapanies ? probaly one as future team (the london company) and one as a league investor (the us company). This seems to further reinforce the indications that the London EFA team will be called Guard(s).
4. Why does the EFA Milano Team has no shares yet, but the London EFA team ?
5. If all the teams now owns direct shares of the company, for what do you need the registered association (e.V.) ?
6. KC-Stablle is managed by Wellford Tabor, who is the father of the Russel Tabor (Munich Ravens QB). Wellford Tabor seems to be the head of the family office of the Haslam family, which owns the Cleveland Browns. Kudos to the facebook guy, who leaked that two months ago.

Pretty interesting :)

Since Rhein Fire hadn't published financial statements for quite some time—and presumably faced repercussions or penalties from the German government as a result—they have now released their financial statements for 2023 and 2024.

In 2024 Rhein Fire made around 674.000 € loss
