Bayern Munich Honorary President Uli Hoeness Hospitalized After Burst Vein at Charity Golf Event

Bayern Munich legend and honorary president Uli Hoeness was rushed to the hospital after suffering a burst vein during a charity golf event near Bonn. Despite the scare, Hoeness, aged 73, is reported to be doing well and was able to leave the hospital the same evening. The charity event was hosted by Timotheus Hottges, CEO of Telekom, a major Bayern Munich sponsor that is reportedly close to extending its contract with the club. Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer was also present at the event. Hoeness has been a central figure at Bayern for nearly five decades, first as a player and then as a long-serving general manager and president, and remains influential as honorary president. The incident comes amid continued positive developments for Bayern, including sponsorship deals reportedly worth over £50 million annually.
