Former Borussia Dortmund and Germany national team defender Niklas Süle (30) has joined Kreisliga (district league) club SV Tiefenbach after ending his professional career. BILD Sport reports on the stark contrast from playing in front of 80,000 fans at Dortmund to an average attendance of 60 at Tiefenbach. The club has a unique penalty catalog: 15 euros for alcohol or smoking during matches, fines for urinating in the shower or destroying beer bottles, and 2 euros for every press photo taken of the player. The transfer was orchestrated by Süle's close friends, SV Tiefenbach coach Jason Walzel and player Mergim Gjinovci, during a golf holiday in Ireland. Club chairman Jürgen Bloch expressed astonishment at signing a 'world star.' The club expects attendance to skyrocket and is considering infrastructure changes like expanding the grill hut and moving a hedge to accommodate more fans.
