After seven long years in the wilderness, Hamburg SV are finally back in the big time

After seven long years in the wilderness, Hamburg SV are finally back in the big time. The historic German club, one of the founding members and longest-standing sides in the Bundesliga, have clinched automatic promotion with one matchday to spare following a thumping 6-1 victory over SSV Ulm.

This emphatic win secured Hamburg at least second place in the 2. Bundesliga, guaranteeing a long-awaited return to Germany's top flight for the 2025/26 season. The promotion is a huge moment for a club that once prided itself on never being relegated — until 2018 shattered that legacy.

The man behind the resurgence? None other than Merlin Polzin, a 34-year-old Hamburg native, who has masterminded the club’s revival in his first full season as head coach. Polzin, previously a youth coach and assistant, has now etched his name in HSV history with this remarkable achievement.

Leading the charge on the pitch was experienced forward Davie Selke, who enjoyed a career-best season. The former Hertha BSC and Werder Bremen striker netted an impressive 22 goals in 30 league appearances, becoming the club’s top scorer and a key figure in their promotion push.
