Bayer 04, VfB Stuttgart and FC Köln in joint remembrance of Christoph Daum

The world of football mourns the loss of the legendary coach: On Saturday, 24 August 2024, Christoph Daum passed away surrounded by his family after a serious illness. Bayer 04, VfB Stuttgart and FC Köln had the joy and honour to work with him. He was a highly gifted, meticulous coach, a tactician, a motivator, a man with vision. He trained players and coaches, achieved great success at home and abroad. The clubs and football therefore have a lot to thank Christoph Daum for.

All three clubs, together with Daum's family, invite friends and acquaintances, colleagues from German and international football plus all friends of football and fans to take part in a memorial service remembering his lifetime achievements. At the place he was at home, on the pitch, the green turf, for a final time in front of a full house at the Rhein Energie Stadion. Entrance is free.
