1860 Munich fails to secure license, relegated to Regionalliga

Summary

TSV 1860 München will be relegated to the Regionalliga after failing to obtain the necessary license for the 3. Liga for the 2026-27 season. The German Football Association (DFB) denied the license due to the club's inability to provide required proof of liquidity and fulfill financial commitments from shareholder Hasan Ismaik. Managing director Manfred Paula expressed regret over the situation, emphasizing the need to focus on creating a competitive squad for the upcoming season in the fourth tier. The club now faces potential insolvency if they cannot secure around €1 million to obtain their Regionalliga license.
