11 FREUNDE LIVE
“Football is not just a thing! Football is Ding Dang Dong!” No one has ever expressed how diverse, colorful and fun football can be more beautifully than old master Trapattoni. And no one brings the funny sides of this sport to the stage as quickly and humorously as the editors of the award-winning football magazine 11FREUNDE.
Editor-in-chief Philipp Köster and head of service Jens Kirschneck read the best texts from the magazine, tell crazy anecdotes from the big football world and show films of brazen swallows and hopelessly messed up interviews on the sidelines.
This is hilarious and makes the press judge: “Humorous trip through the sport’s cabinet of curiosities, which the audience accompanies with almost lustful laughter.” (Osnabrücker Zeitung). And the “Gießenener Anzeiger” states: “A real home game! Not many Bundesliga games can compete with their entertainment value.”
The two have been on the road with a brand new program since 2020. They are celebrating 20 years of 11FREUNDE with previously unseen videos, new texts and incredible stories from the Bundesliga. To quote Andi Möller, we have “a good feeling in terms of feeling”.
