Franz Beckenbauer, a pivotal figure in football, is to be honored with the renaming of the German Super Cup as the 'Franz Beckenbauer Cup' starting August 16, 2025. This decision reflects the acknowledgment of his unmatched contributions to both club and national level, particularly during his illustrious career at Bayern Munich, where he achieved remarkable heights and secured numerous titles. By renaming the cup, the DFB and DFL emphasize the everlasting influence of Beckenbauer on future generations of football.
In an effort to immortalize his legacy, German football officials first considered renaming the Südkurve at Bayern’s Allianz Arena in Beckenbauer’s honor. However, this endeavor did not materialize into a concrete change. Instead, the naming of the first official trophy of the Bundesliga season after him signifies a more permanent acknowledgment of his impact on the sport, ensuring that new generations understand his significance in football history.
