Dispute in the handball Bundesliga: It’s about the license of HSV Hamburg for the current and next season. The Hanseatic citizens have until Friday to prove that a financial gap has been closed.
The first division club Bergischer HC is taking legal action against the Handball Bundesliga (HBL). The relegation-threatened table penultimate is concerned with the license for league rivals HSV Hamburg for the current and next season. “According to the publicly available information, it is more than doubtful whether HSV Hamburg has met the economic criteria this season and will be able to meet them in the future,” said a BHC statement on Thursday.
The HBL league association had only granted Hamburg the license for the 2024/25 series on the condition that a liquidity gap could be proven to be closed by Friday. The BHC and other clubs are now apparently questioning whether the license for 2023/24 should have been granted at all.

That’s why on April 19th they applied to the HBL for information about the events surrounding the HSV Hamburg license. “To our regret, we discovered that the licensing commission did not want to deal with our application transparently,” said the BHC. “On April 30, 2024, the Bergische HC was forced to pursue its application in court against the league association with the express support of other clubs.” When asked by the German Press Agency, the BHC said that there were no further proceedings due to the ongoing legal proceedings give information.
If HSV’s license is revoked…
Meanwhile, the HBL announced that the BHC application had been rejected because “all information received from license applicants during the licensing process must be treated as strictly confidential and must not be disclosed to third parties, directly or indirectly.” It continued: “The clear obligation to maintain secrecy is fundamental to the entire licensing system of the handball federal leagues. This prevents competitors from being investigated.”
