ERFURT_ With a rather unusual campaign, LEG Thüringen wants to raise money for a good cause through its non-profit association LEG-Sommerschule starting March 31, 2025: In an auction on the online platform Ebay, a total of 40 partly signed jerseys and collector's items will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Several DFB jerseys, completely signed by the German national football team, will go under the virtual hammer. Furthermore, three items exclusively provided by the English national football team are among the auction goods: a high-quality billiard table, a professional indoor golf mat, and a special edition of the popular table football game Subbuteo. The latter come from the English team's base camp in Blankenhain on the occasion of the 2024 European Football Championship; they were used extensively by the Three Lions“ off the pitch during that time. The two top basketball clubs, Science City Jena and Basketball Löwen Erfurt, have also donated a total of 33 signed jerseys from their players to the LEG Summer School, which will be auctioned off to the highest bidder as part of the auction for a charitable project in Thuringia.
The auction takes place from March 31 to April 10, 2025 (start: March 31, 6 p.m.) and is aimed primarily at sports enthusiasts in and outside Thuringia. On the website www.ebay.de/usr/leg-sommerschule you will get a comprehensive overview and all necessary information and pictures of the individual auction items after the starting signal for the auction on Monday evening.
Background:
In 2024, the English and German national football teams brought a real summer fairytale to Blankenhain, Thuringia, with their stay: The Spa & Golf Resort Weimarer Land hosted the German national team's training camp from the end of May, as well as the English national team's stay during the European Football Championship. On behalf of the then Thuringian Ministry of Economics, Science and Digital Society, LEG Thüringen was responsible for upgrading the sports ground and castle square in Blankenhain prior to the visit. During the training camp and the European Championship match period, the respective official media centers of the DFB and the English Football Association were housed in Blankenhain Castle. As a thank you for the support during this time, both football teams left partially signed souvenirs, which LEG Thüringen , through its association LEG-Sommerschule, would like to pass on to sports enthusiasts, and at the same time, the proceeds will support a non-profit project in Thuringia.
