Top Austrian football player Martin Hinteregger announces the end of his career at the age of 29.
Hinteregger, who played as a central defender, has been the subject of harsh accusations. Toppari has organized a football tournament in his home country together, which became known as the Nazis Heinrich Sicklin with. Sickl is a member of the right-wing populist FBÖ and, in the 1990s, of the neo-Nazi group Nationalische Front.
– There have been a lot of questions around the tournament I have drawn with passion and good intentions. I have been angry with some emotional and poorly chosen words, Hinteregger explained in his surprising closing statement.
– I want to apologize for what I said. I really regret it, Hinteregger continued.
“Things right”
Hinteregger will end his career in the middle of the contract period. He has represented the German Eintracht Frankfurt, with whom the defender has a contract until the summer of 2024.
According to Hinteregger, profits no longer feel as good as before, and losses happen twice as much as before. In addition, there are compelling reasons for outdoor football.
– To be absolutely clear: I strongly condemn right-wing populism, intolerance and inhumane ideas. People who know me know it, Hinteregger said.
Hinteregger have played 67 matches for the Austrian national team. He represented his country at the 2016 and 2020 European Championships.
His career is now ending in the victory of the Europa League. Eintracht Frankfurt knocked out the Scottish Rangers in the final of the tournament.
– Now I have the opportunity to take a distance and put things right. I’m grateful to the club, Hinteregger decided.
At the club team level, Hinteregger represented Red Bull Salzburg, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Augsburg in addition to Eintracht Frankfurt.
