In honor of football legend Uwe Seeler, the German women’s team wore black armbands in the quarter-finals of the European Championship against Austria. There was also a minute’s silence before the game at the Brentford Community Stadium in London.
“The news affected us. I know that he wanted to watch our game tonight, so we are deeply touched and will also play a bit for Uwe Seeler tonight,” said national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg before kick-off in the ARD.
The honorary captain of the German national team died on Thursday at the age of 85, as confirmed by his former club Hamburger SV, citing the Seelers family.
