Bochum's team can look forward to a few extra coins if they stay in the league

It might prove useful! - Bochum's salvation premium is this substantial.

VFL Bochum is just one point away from guaranteeing their spot in the league, which they'll aim to achieve during their upcoming match against Werder Bremen on Saturday at 3:30 pm (Sky). If they manage to pull this off, they'll be eligible for a massive €1.5 million bonus.

For VFL, this sum is quite significant. It's enough to cover the salaries of two additional players.

To settle this matter, the club's top performers could use this incentive as an additional motivation, especially if they're planning to switch teams the following season.

► VFL can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that they can earn €1.5 million if they manage to stay in the league.

Rewarding the Team

If VFL secures the bonus, the team council consisting of Anthony Losilla, Kevin Stöger, Cristian Gamboa, Philipp Hofmann, and Ivan Ordets has the power to decide who gets a share and in what amount. However, the general consensus is that everyone on the team, including coaches, doctors, and physiotherapists, should receive a part.

VFL's struggle to stay in the league just got exciting with the potential for additional financial support!

★ The good news for VFL continues to multiply! Moritz Broschinski (23), who fell ill during training and missed the game against Leverkusen, is now back in the game. The only players missing from the regular team are Felix Passlack (25), who's suspended after an emergency brake, and Moritz-Broni Kwarteng (26) with an internal ligament injury.
