What to do to unite the former chief overseer of the global football with the local Turn to? In General, not much. The statement, Blatter’s comments about would not be there in an Interview with the “süddeutsche Zeitung”. In it, he expressed himself at the beginning of October 2018 disparagingly about the Fifa and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). He threw both a nonprofessional guidance. Fifa and the IOC are clubs “the way of the fisherman’s club down here. Or as the gymnastics club in Embrach. This is no longer correct”. The TV Embrach the quote provided at that time for lack of understanding of the matter but also forget quickly.

in peace, the history had not left the Turner in the embrach valley to this time. And in terms of the regional gymnastics festival, the end of June 2020 takes place, the four organizing gymnastics clubs free-stone, Rorbas, Lufingen and Embrach anyway, to stir the advertising drum. Therefore, the idea came up to get Sepp Blatter because of its Manifestation in the boat.

Without said hesitation

“After we had made detours the contact to Sepp Blatter, everything went very quickly,” says Reto Joos, OK-President of the Turnfests. At a lunch with the former President of Fifa, has been proposed to be the OK as a friendly Advisor. “He supported the idea immediately and said, without hesitation. Everything is enormously expired straightforward,” says Joos. He’s not hiding, that the reputation of Blatter’s comments about helping the cause to a wider audience.

“On the multi-day Festival, the Turner, for once, to step out of the shadows of football players and hockey players,” says Joos. That the shot could backfire, because Fifa was brought up in the past with corruption in connection, doubts Joos. “We have not invited the Fifa but Sepp Blatter as a private person. He brings extensive experience in the organization of events, which will be certainly useful.”

On Friday evening is expected to Sepp Blatter in the parish hall from freienstein-Teufen to a Workshop.

As a child of active Turner

As for Embrach-quote came, explained Blatter on request: “Shortly before the Interview I drove on the way to an appointment in Pfungen by Embrach. The Name of the village came to me during a conversation with the journalists in mind.” The Manifestation was not disrespectfully meant. Finally, he was at a young age an avid Turner. “Rather, I wanted to show the curiosity that a global Organisation like Fifa, even today, officially as a club.”

The Workshop will Blatter, among others, a greeting botschaftan up the 80 head OK. Further presentations of the former President of Fifa, for example, in the case of the local authorities, or the industry, are already planned. (Zürcher unterländer)
