In German language

Almost 120 years after the founding of SV Waldhof Mannheim, a new, equally legendary club is born in Mannheim. Welcome to the stadium for the most important game of the season. Welcome to 1* FC Ultra. A coach once said: "Football is the most important of the less important things". But what if it's the least important of the most important things? This thing lasts ninety minutes, without extra time, and the Mannheim city ensemble cheers in the curve. At "1* FC Ultra", the rules of the game are rewritten, identities are reassembled. With queer soccer stars and a new self-image for the order of the world. After all, what is popular today is originally a mere simulation of war: tackling, shooting, attacking and defending are historical remnants of this root. A soccer match reflects in a particularly dense way how our world works. How we relate to each other. There is kicking, dancing, stamping, singing, crying, laughing, hurting, loving, saying what needs to be said to everyone who wants to listen, at this moment, at this time in this city.
