Soccer is constantly evolving. The year 2025 once again held numerous adjustments and innovations in store for TEAM BERLIN, and it was easy to lose track of them all. In order to make the start of 2026 as smooth as possible for you, we have summarized all current, relevant changes in the areas of finance, match operations and IT in an information document, where there were still teething problems during the year and which also await you from the turn of the year:

"Things to know and what's new from 2026"

The document provides all the information on the following points

  • Additional office hours of the registration office for changeover period two

  • Abolition of the cash desk for cash deposits at the BFV office

The photo shows three children sitting on the ground, apparently taking a break during a soccer match. They are wearing blue jerseys with white back numbers and the word "Köpenick" on the back. All three are wearing black shorts and soccer boots. The children are sitting next to each other on a meadow that serves as a playing field and are looking in the same direction, presumably towards the ongoing game. In the foreground, part of a sign reading "DER" can be seen. The background is blurred, but other people and the boundaries of the playing field are recognizable, indicating an outdoor sporting event.

The BFV has exciting vacancies in the area of social responsibility. The application deadline is January 16, 2026.

The picture shows a festively decorated Christmas tree in the foreground. The green fir branches are dense and bear various decorations. Several large, shiny Christmas baubles in red, green and gold are striking. In addition, golden cones and red bows hang from the branches. There are also small bunches of red berries that look like holly fruits. Among the classic ornaments are some unusual pendants, including a small carrot and an elongated object that looks like a miniature building. In the background is a dark stone wall with vertical black metal bars, presumably part of a fence. The lighting is natural, with no visible light sources, and the colors appear strong and rich in contrast.

The BFV locations are closed to the public over the public holiday period and accessibility is restricted.

The image shows an advertising graphic for a soccer manager game called "PROMATEUR - Der fussball.de Manager". At the top left is the logo: a green square with a corner marker in it. Next to it is the lettering "PROMATEUR" in large white letters and below it in smaller letters "DER FUSSBALL.DE MANAGER". Below this is a large text in white and green: "DAS MANAGERSPIEL FÜR DEINE LIGA". The word "MANAGERSPIEL" is highlighted in a green rectangle. At the bottom left is a green circle with the text "PLAY NOW!" in black. On the right of the image is a smartphone showing the app's user interface. At the top of the screen it says "SETUP" in green. Below this are various formation options such as "4-4-2", "4-5-1", "4-3-3", "3-4-3" and "3-4-1-2" in black buttons with a green border. Below this, nine player portraits are arranged in small circles with names and club logos, each with different colors and symbols. In the background you can see a soccer pitch at night, illuminated by floodlights. Some players are recognizable on the field, but are shown out of focus. The color scheme of the entire image is predominantly green, black and white, which conveys a sporty and dynamic impression.

The FUSSBALL.DE platform is now launching the first German amateur soccer manager game.
