Anti-Qatar motion initiator comments on banner

At the weekend, a huge banner hung for minutes in the southern curve of the Allianz Arena as a protest against the cooperation between FC Bayern and Qatar. Now the initiator of the application against the cooperation of the Munich with the emirate expressed himself.

“The Ultras have expressed their support with the poster, we are very pleased about that. Precisely because the Presidium has so far tried to keep the proposal silent. But it is important for us to show that the proposal is not only supported by the Ultras, but from the entire breadth of Bayern fans, “said legal trainee Michael Ott from Mainz image.

For the annual general meeting on November 25th, Bayern fans, led by Ott as the head of the initiative, submitted an application to terminate or expire the partnership with Qatar Airways, which will last until 2023. FC Bayern will also have to allow this. “The Presidium must allow all requests that are legal and implementable. You have no discretion,” said Ott.

Julian Nagelsmann had also commented on the banner after the game against Freiburg. “I see that something is hanging there and wonder how the people behind it see something,” joked the coach about the protest of his own supporters, only to find a few serious words: “The club is trying to do things in dialogue discuss – not by exclusion or looking the other way. I think we’ve already made a difference. My responsibility is on the field, during the game I concentrate on my team. “

World Cup hosts Qatar have been accused of human rights violations for some time. Nevertheless, the Munich-based company has been working with the emirate for a long time – they hold their training camp in Qatar every year and wear Qatar Airways as a sleeve sponsor on their jerseys, which brings them 20 million euros annually
