Hamburger SV (HSV) has recently marked a historic milestone, becoming the 6th German football club to surpass 100,000 official members. This impressive achievement signifies more than just a number; it underscores the unity, passion, and unwavering support of its fans from around the world.
A Symbol of Unity and Passion
As of October 1, 2023, 100,000 HSV members from 52 countries worldwide share a common bond: their undying love for Hamburger SV. These 100,000 souls lay the foundation for the HSV family, which has been on a steady growth trajectory in recent years.
Remarkably, it was just a year ago, in October 2022, that the club celebrated its 90,000th member. Fast forward to the present day, and they've achieved the next significant milestone of 100,000 members. Only five other Bundesliga clubs in Germany have managed to attain this number, emphasizing the exclusivity of this achievement.
Growing Across All Fronts
The rise in membership isn't confined to just one segment. The club witnessed impressive growth across various groups, including the Supporters Club, the Young Ones, the Kids Club, and even among the actively sportive members.

We are immensely grateful for the support that epitomizes the camaraderie among our members and fans. It further highlights the diversity HSV stands for, regardless of gender, age, or origin – we all proudly carry the HSV diamond in our hearts," says Jansen.
Celebrations Ahead
To commemorate this monumental achievement, the club has planned various activities and events in the coming days. Notably, they will also integrate the celebrations with the 136th anniversary of the club's founding, which falls on September 29, 2023.
In conclusion, the crossing of the 100,000 member threshold by Hamburger SV isn't just a testament to the club's growth but also showcases the unwavering commitment, passion, and unity of its global fanbase. As HSV looks forward to more successes on and off the pitch, the support of its 100,000 strong members will undoubtedly be its driving force.
