Eintracht Frankfurt caused a lot of enthusiasm on and off the pitch in the past Europa League season. The Hessians won the title in a penalty shoot-out against Glasgow Rangers and previously had a mega success against FC Barcelona, ​​among others. However, the support from the fans was also impressive, making the game at the Camp Nou feel like a home game. Now the Eintracht supporters have even won a prize.

According to Sky information, the Association of German Football Ambassadors has awarded the Frankfurt supporters a special fan award and thus recognized the great support of the people. "The Eintracht fans lived the values ​​of a traditional fan culture with impressive ingenuity and, with their performances in Europe, inspired people beyond national or club borders in a special way," said Bischof, who presented the award as president of the club on Saturday before the home game will be presented against Wolfsburg.

The special fan prize of the German Football Ambassador will be awarded for the first time, but in future it will become a fixed component alongside the other categories of main prize, honorary prize and audience prize. In addition to the Eintracht fans, Jochen Figge, Franz Beckenbauer and Ilkay Gündogan were honored and now bear the title "German Football Ambassador 2022".
