The final of the Women’s European Championship will take place on Sunday. Germany will meet the hosts England. National coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg receives a special bonus.

What a football weekend for Hermann Tecklenburg. The 74-year-old has been involved in football for years. He sat on the supervisory board of Fortuna Düsseldorf until 2011 and has now been president and patron of regional league club SV Straelen for 18 years. He is also married to the national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg. Now there are intense games ahead for both of them.

His own club faces FC St. Pauli in the DFB Cup. For the club from the Dutch border, it is only the second participation in the competition after the 98/99 season. Back then, the club was eliminated by Fortuna Düsseldorf with a 4:7 defeat. Tecklenburg’s club could make history by advancing against the second-division team.

His wife can do the same: Martina Voss-Tecklenburg led the German women’s national football team to the final of the European Championship against England. On Sunday at 6 p.m., the national team will play the host nation in the final. In the event of a triumph, the national coach will receive a very special bonus from her husband: a house on Mallorca. This is what the Bild newspaper reports. “”It is our oasis of peace. Martina has wanted a house there for years. But a house is binding. That’s why I’ve always said no,” Bild quotes Hermann Tecklenburg. “If she wins the European Championship title, I will join her in her wish. Then we’ll look around for a domicile during the holidays. “

The German Football Association, meanwhile, will give 60,000 euros to each member of the squad if they win. Also for Voss-Tecklenburg, who has been married to the building contractor since 2009. Hermann Tecklenburg has flown to every European Championship match of the DFB women so far and is also expected to attend the final in London. But before that, he will be keeping his fingers crossed for his own club in the DFB Cup on Saturday.
