Das Bild zeigt eine Gruppe von neun Personen, die in einer Halle zusammenstehen. Sie bilden eine lockere Reihe und stehen vor zwei großen, weißen Roll-Up-Bannern mit dem roten Logo des Berliner Fußball-Verbands (BFV). Das Logo besteht aus einem stilisierten „B“ mit einem Fußballmotiv. Die Personen tragen unterschiedliche Kleidung: Einige sind in formellen Anzügen mit Hemd und Krawatte gekleidet, andere in Freizeitkleidung wie Jeans, Hemd oder Pullover. Eine Person trägt eine weiße Sportjacke mit dem BFV-Logo auf der Brust. Die Schuhe variieren von eleganten Lederschuhen bis zu sportlichen Sneakern. Der Hintergrund ist schlicht: eine helle Wand mit einem Netz an der oberen Hälfte, vermutlich Teil einer Sporthalle. Rechts im Bild ist ein schwarzer Lautsprecher auf einem Stativ zu sehen. Der Boden ist dunkel, wahrscheinlich Teppich oder Gummibelag. Die Beleuchtung ist hell und gleichmäßig, was auf eine Innenaufnahme mit künstlichem Licht hinweist. Die Szene vermittelt den Eindruck eines offiziellen Gruppenfotos, vermutlich nach einer Wahl oder einem formellen Anlass.
