Beckenbauer should be honored “on the football field”.
The focus of the celebration is the memory of Beckenbauer, who died on Sunday at the age of 78. As FC Bayern also announced, the club has now received letters of condolence from all over the world. “The joint celebration in the FC Bayern stadium is intended to create an opportunity to honor Franz Beckenbauer in the environment in which he reached people’s hearts in a unique way: on the football field,” it said.

Rummenigges: Without Beckenbauer the arena would never have existed
This means that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge’s wish will come true. In an interview with “BILD”, the former player and CEO of FC Bayern advocated for a memorial service in the arena. “The entire world of football and beyond is mourning the loss of our friend Franz. FC Bayern should host a memorial service in his memory in the stadium that would never have existed without him!”
