DFB establishes Egidius-Braun-Foundation

Egidius Braun´s social commitment will be maintained and was given an independent platform by way of a new foundation. Based in Braun´s home city of Aachen, the foundation will have a board of trustees including, amongst others, national team manager Rudi Völler and Mr Wolfgang Clement, the premier of the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The foundation´s capital stock will be DM 1 million.

Consequently, the DFB Sportförderverein (society for the promotion of sport) that had been entrusted with administering all social matters, will be dissolved. In addition to donations, the foundation will benefit from the profits generated by benefit matches that the German national team plays every two years.

In his capacity of head of the German 1986 World Cup delegation in Mexico, Egidius Braun had initiated the creation of the DFB´s Mexico Aid project which from now on will be an integral part of the foundation. [mm]
