Will an old German classic become the goal anthem at the 2024 European Championship? The Munich police are now supporting a fan petition that is currently running in their own way.
Munich – There are still about two and a half months until the ball is at the European Championship 2024 rolls. Due to the convincing victory of the German national team against France (0:2) last weekend, the tournament is now slowly but surely becoming more and more in focus. The fuss surrounding the DFB’s Nike deal also brought the national team loudly into the headlines again.

Even the Munich police now – indirectly – support the fan demand.

This is now so well received that fans want the song as a goal anthem. The online petition has already collected over twenty thousand signatures. On Monday morning (March 25th) even the Munich police spoke out.

Then he takes off and completely detached…”
It is unclear whether police support can ensure that the classic song is actually played when goals are scored in the stadium. But the contribution was well received. “Great,” writes one commentator.
