Chelsea Football Club is one of the top football clubs globally and our men's team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025.   

We had previously won the 2021 edition of the competition, held in 2022 due to the pandemic and that success followed winning the UEFA Champions League for a second time. Our women's team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.    

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London's most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.  

The 2021 Champions League and UEFA Super Cup triumphs ensured Chelsea became the first club to win four major UEFA club competitions twice, following our earlier successes in those two competitions as well as the Europa League and Cup Winners' Cup. Having added the UEFA Conference League in 2025, the Blues are the only club to have won all the current UEFA club competitions.    

The Chelsea Women's team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women's Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women's FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women's League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women's Champions League final in 2021.

Koalition in Wiesbaden unter Druck: Entlassung von Sönmez eingeleitet

14.04.2026

Im hessischen Wirtschaftsministerium steht ein personeller Einschnitt an: Ressortchef Kaweh Mansoori (SPD) hat Ministerpräsident Boris Rhein (CDU) darum gebeten, seinen Staatssekretär Umut Sönmez mit sofortiger Wirkung aus dem Beamtenverhältnis zu entlassen. Das teilte das Ministerium am Montag mit. Offiziell nannte eine Sprecherin keine Gründe für den Schritt, sprach aber von einer Entscheidung, die rasch umgesetzt werden solle. Nach Angaben der Staatskanzlei ist für die formale Entlassung noch ein Kabinettsbeschluss erforderlich.

Hintergrund der Personalentscheidung sind Vorwürfe sexueller Belästigung gegen den 43-jährigen SPD-Politiker. Einem früheren Bericht des Hessischen Rundfunks zufolge läuft im Wirtschaftsministerium eine interne Untersuchung zu Vorkommnissen bei einer Fastnachtsfeier für Beschäftigte des Hauses. Bei der Veranstaltung soll es demnach zu einer sexuellen Belästigung gekommen sein. Sönmez soll laut dem Bericht eine Mitarbeiterin wiederholt angefasst, sie zum Tanzen gedrängt und unangemessen eng mit ihr getanzt haben. Die Betroffene habe sich anschließend offiziell im Ministerium beschwert.

Aus der Staatskanzlei hieß es, das für eine „gedeihliche Zusammenarbeit erforderliche Vertrauensverhältnis“ sei nicht mehr gegeben. Ministerpräsident Rhein werde Sönmez daher mit sofortiger Wirkung entlassen, sobald das Kabinett den formalen Beschluss gefasst habe. Politisch ist der Fall brisant, weil Sönmez als Amtschef bislang auch für Personalfragen im Haus zuständig war – ein Punkt, den die Grünen im Landtag bereits kritisch als möglichen Interessenkonflikt bei der Aufklärung der Vorwürfe bezeichnet hatten.

Sönmez selbst weist die gegen ihn erhobenen Anschuldigungen zurück. In einer von einem privaten Mail-Konto verschickten Stellungnahme sprach er von „vorverurteilender Presseberichterstattung“ über ein „angebliches Vergehen“ seinerseits. Zugleich begrüßte er seine Entlassung ausdrücklich, um Schaden vom Land Hessen, dem Ministerium, der Koalition und der SPD abzuwenden. Den Vorwurf einer sexuellen Belästigung weise er entschieden zurück, betonte Sönmez. Er begrüße die eingeleitete interne Untersuchung und erhoffe sich von dem im öffentlichen Dienst etablierten Verfahren die Möglichkeit zur Richtigstellung und Rehabilitation.
