Kathmandu. When Germany hosted the World Cup in 2006, there was a unique wave of nationalism. Everyone seemed proud to be German. At that time, after a long time, Germany was united as a country. In this process, Germany seemed to have forgotten its old terrible history.
From Friday, Germany is hosting another big football tournament, in the form of Euro 2024. The Euro became a tournament like the World Cup.
What was seen in that World Cup is not even a fraction of it now. The German team won the Euro title themselves, so maybe there will be some excitement. Again, the bad performance of the German team will make the situation even worse.
Germany’s first match is against Scotland. Even when this game is about to start, the national flag is rarely seen in the homes of ordinary Germans who love football. Even some Germans have said that they are not even interested in this Euro.
Stefan Ursfeld is a sports columnist. He says, ‘What happened in 2016 cannot be seen now. We have come a long way in the last 18 years. Meanwhile, many things happened. Now there is only conflict in Germany on all sides.’
On top of that, the fear of terrorist attacks during Euro 2024 is different. That’s why there is a strict security system everywhere. The conflict is also widespread in German society, it has spread throughout Europe.
In the recent elections for the European Parliament, many such people were elected from Germany, who can be called extremists. These militants cannot be politically and socially liberal.
The liberal FDA, i.e. ‘Alternative for Germany’, has become the second largest party. When the World Cup was held in 2006, it was the first major sports festival held by all of Germany after reunification. The economy was on the way to recovery. To do this, Klinsmann’s Germany reached the semi-finals.
The FDA made extensive use of the German national flag during its election campaign. That’s why the common German football fans are afraid to carry the same national flag, lest others call them liberals. Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, more strict security arrangements are needed in this time. And lately, football hooligans have increased in Germany. They are equally a headache.
