How did you get to work today?
With the hybrid from Volkswagen.
You can probably guess where the question is headed, sustainability and the energy crisis are big issues, also for football. Many people are concerned about where they can save energy. Has anything changed in your personal life, less heating, shorter showers, less frequent flying?
Of course, the crisis also concerns the DFB, we are trying to help our around 24,000 clubs. How can they continue to pay their bills in the future, how can we ensure that the many children, young people and adults can continue to do sports and that the courts and clubhouses are not closed again as they were during the Corona pandemic? I know that our President Bernd Neuendorf is holding many discussions about this in Berlin. Together with the DOSB, we are committed to ensuring that there are funding programs – not only for medium-sized companies or commercial enterprises, but also for mass sport. In my private life I ask myself at many points: How can I use energy even more responsibly and efficiently than before?
