In addition to the collaboration with San Antonio FC announced in July 2024, the Lilies are cooperating as part of their internationalisation strategy with SVD Beaumont Texas, a soccer club in southeast Texas that was founded by Lilien fans with the support of SV Darmstadt 98.
The two clubs SV Darmstadt 98 and San Antonio FC from Darmstadt’s US sister city of San Antonio will work more closely together in the future. This is the aim of a cooperation agreement signed on Tuesday (July 23rd) between the Lilies and Spurs Sports & Entertainment (SS&E), the operating company of San Antonio FC, was closed. The cooperation was expressly welcomed by Darmstadt’s Mayor Hanno Benz and San Antonio’s Mayor Ron Nirenberg, who were also on site on Tuesday, and supported by signing a “Letter of Support”.
