The sports sociologist Silvester Stahl on the potential of migrant associations in Germany and the question of why the community of Turkish origin shows little interest in projects like Türkgücü Munich.
Interviewed by
Thomas Hurner, Berlin
It has been official since last Thursday: the third division club Türkgücü Munich had to file for bankruptcy and is no longer playing. The investor Hasan Kivran wanted to aim high with the club – among other things with the support of the Turkish community in Germany.
