The UEFA descartó the application of the mayor of the city, the socialdemócrata Dieter Reiter, and forbade the initiative when reiterating to "be motivated by a political decision".

Besides, it has closed also an open file to the captain of the German selection, Manuel Neuer, for carrying the bracelet with the flag of the community LGTBI. The organism considered that the bracelet answered to a "good cause" and did not apply any sanction. All the contrary, has occurred with the illumination of the stadium of the Bayern Munich, to the recalcar that is an action that would look for to answer to the Hungarian Government of Viktor Orbán, the one who approved a rule that forbids, between other things, speak on homosexuality in the school programs.
