Uli Hoeneß Criticizes AfD and Reiterates FC Bayern's Commitment to Integration

The Bayern Munich honorary president emphasizes his opposition to the far-right party and highlights the club's values of diversity and inclusion.

Uli Hoeneß, honorary president of FC Bayern Munich, reaffirmed his strong opposition to the far-right AfD party in a recent interview.
Hoeneß stated he would personally confront any Bayern player promoting the AfD, questioning their judgment but noted he does not impose his political views on the club.
He praised FC Bayern as a role model for integration, citing that over 50% of the club's youth players have a migration background.
Hoeneß described the ongoing Bundestag election as a potential turning point for German society and expressed hope for a CDU/CSU and SPD coalition government.
The 73-year-old also reiterated his support for anti-racism initiatives, such as Bayern's 'Rot gegen Rassismus' campaign, which encourages voluntary participation from players.
