As announced by CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the Bavarians are opening a commission after the events in Hoffenheim.

After the events at the away game at TSG Hoffenheim, FC Bayern has opened an internal commission.

This commission will be responsible for dealing with the incidents and will also work out measures to be taken in the short and medium term in cases of racism, insults, anti-Semitism, sexism, homophobia and exclusion.

An investigation team had already been set up by the Mannheim police headquarters on Sunday and will now work closely with Bavaria’s commission.

The Munich residents also announced that they had suggested a meeting with the German Soccer Association (DFB), the German Soccer League (DFL) and all 36 professional clubs to work out a joint approach to these issues.

“FC Bayern’s position is clear: incidents like the one on Saturday must not be allowed to happen again. The club sees it as its social responsibility to stand up against discrimination, intolerance, hatred, incitement, insults and violence in any form,” the German record champion wrote on its club homepage.

FC Bayern stands “for diversity and tolerance and above all for the joy of football”.

On Saturday, the club’s Ultras had hostile words against Hoffenheim’s majority shareholder Dietmar Hopp of TSG Hoffenheim, and the game was about to be abandoned.
