Uli Hoeneß, Bayern Munich, Stuttgart, DFB
23 May 2026
Uli Hoeneß criticised Bayern Munich and Stuttgart supporters after joint protests against the DFB disrupted the DFB-Pokal final. He called the scenes outrageous after banners, chants and pyrotechnics briefly affected visibility during Bayern’s 3-0 win.
Fans from both clubs protested ticket prices and the German Football Association, with smoke forcing referee Sven Jablonski to pause play. Hoeneß urged clubs, politicians and the DFB to act strongly before similar scenes happen again.
