Back in the summer (June), there was a finals game between Leipzig and Frankfurt's soccer teams....the championship game.
Prior to this....the city of Frankfurt (organized by the city council) prepared a celebration to occur (expecting the team to win).
So they organized various things, and signed contracts. Cost factor? On the books, they were responsible for 1.2-million Euro (fair sum of money).
Well....Frankfurt Eintracht lost. There was no celebration.
The team in some way agreed to contribute around 350,000 Euro to this pot of money....for a celebration that was not going to occur. The city? It got stuck for the remaining 850,000 Euro.
If you ask around....maybe 10-percent of the population knows of the scandal.
Stupid way of wasting a million Euro? Yeah.....but no one says much.
