In December, the DFL announced a controversial sale of 8% of its rights in order to advertise the league following a vote in favour of this. Dirk Zingler, Union Berlin's president, wants a new election to reaffirm what the decision should be.
Following the verdict given by the DFL in favour of investorship by selling a portion of its rights, fans of many clubs have held protests against the decision to sell some of German football's rights.
The president of Union Berlin (who voted against investors), Dirk Zingler, was recently noted in saying that "If we want to be successful with this, regardless of the type of possible investments, there must be no doubt whatsoever about the legality of the necessary votes".
This comes after multiple clubs had issues with their voting and one of these examples is Hannover 96 (who voted for the plan) seeing as their managing director Martin Kind reportedly went against the board's advice to vote against the plan.
Even if a new vote is not conducted, it seems as if Zingler would like some clarity over which clubs voted for/against the plan in order to see whether they adhered to their board's advice.
Lastly, he also said: "the model should be ultimately decided upon openly and transparently to the vote again at a general meeting of the DFL."
