Bayern Munich's Bundesliga 2023-24 Match Against VFL Bochum Gets Temporarily Suspended Due to Tennis Balls Thrown On Ground By Protesting Fans (Watch Video)
The German fans are demanding an end to a controversial plan from the league to sell a stake of future revenue to a private equity investor through their protests.
A bizarre scenario unfolded at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion in Bochum, Germany as protesting fans made their unrest clear by throwing tennis balls alongside other objects into the pitch during Bayern Munich's match against VFL Bochum in the Bundesliga 2023-24. The match was suspended twice by the referee due to this, once in the 25-minute mark and next in the 57 minute mark as Bayern chase the game with the score being 2-1 in favour of the hosts. German football matches have been stopped regularly in recent weeks as part of an ongoing protest involving throwing tennis balls, gold chocolate coins and apples onto the field to voice their anger against foreign investment in the German top-flight.
