Mathias Beck was re-elected president of Eintracht Frankfurt with approximately 99% of the vote on Monday evening. At the members' meeting in the Frankfurter Jahrhunderthalle, only three of the 1,215 eligible voters opposed the 55-year-old, with ten abstentions.

Beck, who has held the office since February 5, 2024, received a clear mandate for his work so far. Under his leadership, membership has grown from 139,000 to over 160,000, with more than 16,000 active members. Financial metrics are also positive: in the 2025/26 season, non-football revenues rose by about €8.5 million to €27.7 million, with an after-tax profit of around €2.67 million. The club now counts over 60 sponsors, its highest number ever.

Goals for the future

In his acceptance speech, Beck outlined priorities for his continued tenure. He said it was a great source of pride and that he had received a mandate he intended to fulfil. Specifically, he aims to expand necessary sports infrastructure and acquire additional sports facilities. Investments in coaching positions and the renovation and construction of sports grounds are set to increase continuously.

A special focus is on attracting more people to active sports. Target groups are primarily children and seniors, including those in care facilities. Beck emphasised that Eintracht Frankfurt can accompany people for a lifetime and that no other club has similar prerequisites for this. Sporting success at national and international levels remains another key objective.

Current sporting situation

The re-election comes as Eintracht Frankfurt's first team sits 11th in the Bundesliga table. After six matchdays, the team has eight points from two wins, two draws, and two defeats. Recent form of three wins, one draw, and one loss in the last five games provides cause for optimism, with a 1-0 win over 1. FC Köln last time out. The next tough away fixture is on October 24 against current second-placed side Borussia Dortmund. The full fixtures list shows the challenges ahead.

Beck, who is also chairman of the supervisory board of Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball AG, emphasised continuity. He pointed to the goals achieved and changes initiated in recent years, which now need to be continued. His predecessor as president was Peter Fischer. The members' vote acknowledged the stable development of the club in all areas over the past two and a half years.
