Uli Hoeneß speaks clearly about the tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico. One fact particularly upsets the 74-year-old.
Hoeneß is particularly bothered by the ticket prices. “Two thousand dollars for a final ticket of average quality, where is that going to end? I’ve always been for commercialism in football, but not in this extreme form. I don’t want to support that by buying tickets,” the 74-year-old continued.
According to his own statements, Hoeneß would have stayed at a friend’s house for free during the tournament Florida can live. “But I didn’t feel like going to this at all WM to travel. And even if I had felt like it, I would have missed it when I was told the preferred location of the house,” he said. According to Hoeneß, the accommodation offered was only five minutes from the US President’s property Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
