Such letters rarely flutter into the house: The “Pizzeria Wolke” from Gießen has received mail from Uefa. The Football Association is taking legal action against the restaurant. Reason is the name of an offered pizza.
Uefa is taking legal action against a pizzeria in Gießen. The European football governing body has turned on a law firm because “Pizza Cloud” offers a pizza under the name “Champions League”. The pizzeria itself announced this on Instagram and put the law firm’s letter online.
The exact name of the pizza is “Champi(g)nons League”. The pizzeria wrote: “I’m honored! As a child of football! An ad from Uefa? Seriously? My gang and I just shows that we are absolutely on the right track!
My gang and I have started a journey and we won’t stop until we’re in all the chests and eventually baked in all the ovens! A man! A pizza!”
The Hessian restaurant obviously violates the license rights of Uefa, which has protected the term “Champions League” for the premier class in European club football. At the request of the SID news agency, Uefa confirmed the actions of the legal department.
