Bayern Munich President Herbert Hainer also addressed the club’s fans in sign language in his video message for Christmas.
On Christmas Eve, Hainer thanked the “Red Deaf” deaf fan club, which had developed signs for the players this summer. “It was another step to come together,” said the club boss, illustrating the names of Thomas Müller, Alphonso Davies and Georgia Stanway with his hands.
“There is still a lot to do in the area of inclusion”
“We are aware that we still have a lot to do in the area of inclusion. We at Bayern Munich want to be a home for everyone,” emphasized the 69-year-old. He called for us to continue working together to break down barriers. Hainer also formed his hands into gestures during his one-minute speech when mentioning the club name, the words “Merry Christmas” and the FC Bayern motto “Mia san mia”.
In the written part of his message, Hainer stated the championships for both soccer teams and the basketball players for 2024 as the goal. In football, everything is still possible in the Champions League, the basketball players should go as far as possible in the Euroleague.
“As always, FC Bayern will do everything they can to have the final say in the awarding of the titles. The 2023 men’s championship final has once again taught us that you will be rewarded in the end if you don’t let up,” Hainer explained to Blick to the championship that was only secured on the last matchday with the late 2-1 win in Cologne.
