Many football fans in Germany are demanding wide-ranging reforms to the game in a new initiative called ""Unser Fussball" ("Our football.") The "Unser Fussball" initiative was launched in June by a coalition of active fans from across Germany.
A petition demanding fundamental restructuring measures to ensure a fairer competition, greater social responsibility, democracy, sustainable financing and recognition of the importance of match-going supporters has been signed by almost 2,400 fan groups.
Bayern Munich chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge responded to the campaign by asserting, "I find the name itself somewhat presumptuous. Who does football belong to? Most likely to those who play it, no matter what level. The fans are part of football, but it does not belong to them." Rummenigge also rejected accusations that the Bavarian club have used their financial might in the past to sign players with the specific aim of weakening their rivals.
