Tragedy for Bayern goalkeeper Sven Ulreich: Son Len (6) dies – FC Bayern with moving gesture

The football world is shocked: Sven Ulreich, goalkeeper for FC Bayern Munich, has experienced an unimaginable tragedy. As has now been revealed, his six-year-old son Len passed away a few weeks ago from the effects of a serious illness. The Ulreich family had previously kept the loss private, but now the sad news has been made public – and it has deeply moved fans and colleagues across Europe.

The 36-year-old goalkeeper, who has been a reliable pillar of the German record champions’ squad for years, declined to comment personally, but sent word through the club that his family was going through “the most difficult time of their lives.” “Len was a joyful, courageous child who filled our lives with love and laughter,” the statement read.

In an exceptionally compassionate gesture, FC Bayern presented the grieving player with a very special memento: a framed jersey with the number 1 and the name “Len” on the back, signed by the entire team. A silent moment was held during training, with players, coaches, and staff members gathering in honor of little Len.

Bayern President Herbert Hainer also expressed his deep concern:

“The loss of a child is the worst thing that can happen to parents. Our thoughts and condolences go out to Sven and his family. FC Bayern stands united behind them during this difficult time.”

The outpouring of sympathy is overwhelming. Fans from all over the world are sending condolences via social media, writing moving messages, and sharing photos and memories of happy moments with Sven Ulreich. Other Bundesliga and international clubs have also expressed their condolences – including Borussia Dortmund, FC Barcelona, and Juventus Turin, which have posted messages of support.

Ulreich was recently replaced by new signing Daniel Peretz. However, the club explicitly emphasized that Ulreich had all the time in the world to grieve and that his return to the team would be “100 percent voluntary.”

This tragic news is a reminder that football, for all its drama, rivalries and passion, is just a part of life – and that humanity, solidarity and compassion should always be at the heart of it.

In this most difficult hour, all of football Europe wishes the Ulreich family strength, love and peace.
