The former soccer champion was nominated by the German right-wing party for the presidency.
The "Alternative for Germany" party (AfD) announced Thomas Berthold, the former world champion in soccer, as its candidate for the presidency of Germany.
Alice Weidel and Tino Krupala, the leaders of this party announced in a message on Channel X that this 62-year-old man as a "world champion without party affiliation" is a very suitable choice for the presidency of all Germans.
They also emphasized that Bertold stood up against what was called a "harmful corona policy" during the corona epidemic.
Berthold played 62 national matches for the German national soccer team and won the World Cup with this team in 1990.
