The 60th Bundesliga season starts this Friday, August 5th, with a cracker between Eintracht Frankfurt and FC Bayern Munich, so the Europa League winner has to deal with the reigning champions, who are also record champions . Kick-off at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt is at 8:30 p.m.
But before the ball finally rolls for the first time in the 2022/23 season, the national anthem will be sung – a tradition that has existed since the summer fairytale at the 2006 World Cup. The USA may have served as an inspiration, where the anthem is always sung before important sporting events such as an NBA Finals game.
