Greuther Fürth to revert back to club’s former name

Members of German 2. Bundesliga club SpVgg Greuther Fürth have voted to revert the club's official name back to SpVgg Fürth starting from the 2027/28 season. At a meeting held on November 8 at the Sportpark Ronhof stadium, 1,867 members voted in favor of the measure, securing 88.3 percent of the vote and surpassing the required 75 percent threshold.

Club president Volker Heißmann confirmed that the board will now take the necessary administrative steps to execute the transition. The club originally adopted the "Greuther" moniker following a 1996 merger with TSV Vestenbergsgreuth.
