The 1. FC Köln is eagerly awaiting the upcoming council meeting. Then, important topics will be voted on at the Geißbockheim.

What's happening?

The corresponding application is pending and has now been submitted by the SPD. On Thursday, July 2, 2026, the factions must vote on whether the FC can modernize and use three so-called satellite sites in the Geißbockheim area.

Why is this important for FC Köln?

FC President Jörn Stobbe is confident that there will be a majority for the application in the council. Recently, numerous conversations have indicated that people want to vote for a solution.

What are the plans?

Specifically, it's about three sites: | Site | Measure | | --- | --- | | Eichenkreuzanlage | Conversion of tennis court to artificial turf | | Sports field 2 | Expansion and conversion to hybrid grass | | Kampfbahn | Conversion to hybrid grass | The fields are also to be made available to recreational sports.

What's next?

The administration is also to be commissioned to take the necessary measures at Fort VI as soon as possible, so that 1. FC Köln can build the cabin infrastructure for the artificial turf pitch at its own expense.
