Hoenes. We turned all the Arabs against us in Qatar… and I reject what will happen in America

Höhnes strongly criticized the increase in ticket prices for the upcoming World Cup

Bayern Munich honorary president and German football legend Uli Höhnes has expressed his disapproval of the International Football Federation (FIFA) policy regarding ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup and criticized the German national team’s idea of ​​boycotting the tournament.

As for how excited he is for this summer’s tournament, Hoenes said in a statement to the network: “DAZN”“I’m very divided. I love America, but everyone knows how I look there now. I have a problem with what is happening there and I hope nothing happens during the World Cup.”

He continued. “One of my friends offered me his house for 4 weeks during the World Cup, but I told him: Unfortunately I can’t. Also can’t watch a finale with a regular ticket price of $1,500 or more. I won’t go there.”

In the same context, Hoenes said: “Shall I tell you something that I completely reject? increase in ticket prices. What is happening now from FIFA regarding the prices of the World Cup in the United States, I completely reject. This is no longer like the world of football as I want it to be. The World Cup final shouldn’t be like the Super Bowl.”

Regarding the idea of ​​boycotting the World Cup in Germany, he announced. “One can think, but in no case can’t not go… The biggest mistake the Germans made was what they did in Qatar. It was funny. We turned the entire Arab world against us.”

“Of course I criticize it (FIFA giving Trump the peace prize), but the result, from my point of view, should not be not going… Imagine the Germans not participating when others are playing, you can’t do that.”
