      “I had moved to Dubai, and now I have had to relocate once again.
      “It is a dreadful feeling to have to live in exile.”
      Karimi had lent his support to the Woman, Life, Freedom movement that rose to prominence after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in Iranian police custody in September 2022.
      He added: “I hope the movement is successful. International players always have a place in their fans’ hearts.
      “When you have a platform like this, to my mind it is every sportsman’s duty to stand up against social concerns.
      “It is my wish that every athlete finds themselves on the right side of history, and commits themselves to the Woman, Life, Freedom movement.
      “No athlete should boycott events like the Olympic Games, as they offer the only opportunity to spread the voice of the Iranian people.”

      CEO Alexander Jobst has an idea named “Fortuna for everyone” that is set make him very popular with supporters when it is launched today.
      The plan is to get sponsors to cover the costs of all tickets sold so fans don’t have to pay a penny.
      Reports from Bild claim that the Fortuna faithful could get three tickets for nothing next season as the project gets trialled.
      And there is hope it can lead to more matches and an increase in companies getting involved for the 2024-45 campaign.

      The club has reportedly already agreed five-year deals with a number of businesses to cover ticket fees for the whole stadium.
      Fortuna average 29,378 fans every home match and the Merkur Spiel-Arena can take up to 54,600.
      The two-time German Cup winners currently bring in £6-£7million in ticket income per season.
      Fortuna hope that the plan will lead to increased matchday revenue as when fans don’t pay for a ticket they believe it will lead to more buying food, drink and merchandise.

      He won his first game in charge – against his former club Borussia Dortmund – but the Reds have since dropped down to second in the Bundesliga table AND crashed out of the Champions League as well as the DFB-Pokal.
      And now he is at risk of losing his job just weeks after joining the club, according to Hamann.
      The former Liverpool and Manchester City midfielder told German outlet Ruhr Nachrichten: “The leadership may be confused, but the coach also makes a very confused impression in his four weeks so far.
      “If he also gambles away the championship, it’s clear that his position would already be weakened.”

      Hamann also claimed that the Bundesliga title is Borussia Dortmund’s to lose.
      He added: “Now they have it in their own hands and should not give up the lead in the standings.
      “I can well imagine them winning the last five games.”
      Dortmund currently sit at the top of the Bundesliga table, one point above Bayern Munich, following Saturday’s 4-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
