Lahm: “The 2006 World Cup was the most intense”

Dusseldorf (SID) Philipp Lahm, captain of the German soccer world champion team in 2014, once again emphasized the importance of the 2006 home World Cup for his own career at the SPOBIS sports business congress in Düsseldorf. "The 2006 World Cup was my first World Cup, and experiencing the excitement of being able to host such a tournament was unique. I will never forget the events and experiences. From the pictures, 2006 was the most intense," said the long-time professional Bayern Munich in the discussion at SPOBIS together with DFB President Reinhard Grindel about the German bid to host EURO 2024. “It is a lighthouse project for German football. We hope to be able to experience the positive sides of the summer fairy tale of 2006 again in 2024,” emphasized the head of the German Football Association (DFB). Lahm also drew parallels to 2006: "It was sensational how the spectators supported us in the tournament." The choice of Lahm as ambassador for the 2024 European Championship was as clear as day for the DFB boss: "Ambassador and message go together perfectly. Philipp Lahm is the face of the generation of players in 2006, who then became world champions in 2014. It is very important to have a successful player "Face of German football. He always looked beyond the four corners of the football field. He was socially committed, as captain he ensured flat hierarchies, he stands for values."
