Rudi Völler Documentary Debuts on Sky After Star-Studded Frankfurt Premiere

The film links a Hanau homecoming to a portrait of his current DFB stewardship, with a mandate through 2028.

Overview

  • The feature-length "Rudi Völler – Es gibt nur einen" premiered this week at Frankfurt’s Gibson Club before a crowd including Julian Nagelsmann, Lothar Matthäus, Michael Ballack and Otto Rehhagel.
  • The documentary begins streaming on Sky on Friday.
  • The film foregrounds Völler’s Rhein‑Main roots with a visit to his childhood home in Hanau, which he called the most moving moment after decades away.
  • On screen and at the premiere he is presented as a mentor and father figure to national coach Julian Nagelsmann, reflecting his extended DFB role through mid‑2028.
