Security police are investigating after soccer fans sang the early 2000s Eurodance rave classic during a match, with new lyrics saying “Germany belongs to Germans, foreigners get out”, the latest instance in which authorities have rushed to tackle the song.
A soccer match against Union 1861 Schönebeck at the home ground of TSV Blau-Weiss Eggersdorf in Boldeland-Eggersdorf, Saxony-Anhalt, was stopped in the second half after fans began singing songs calling for the deportation of immigrants.
The Salzland Football Association said it had opened disciplinary procedures over the fans’ behaviour and had notified state-level sports authorities. Police were called in to identify those involved and begin an investigation, but the cantonal security police have now taken over the investigation and are investigating the incident as a charge of “incitement”.
according to German Newspapers Die Welt Seventy minutes into the match, with Eggersdorf leading 7-0, a group of about a dozen soccer fans, many of them teenagers and young adults, were singing “Germany belongs to the Germans, foreigners get out.” The new lyrics, a set of the 2000 Eurodance hit “L’amour toujours” by Gigi D’Agostino, have become a talking point in Germany among border control enthusiasts, and a sore spot for a political establishment that has used state security agencies to crack down on the trend.

FuPa, a web portal specializing in German regional football Carrying the reportAn article about the cancelled match against Eggersdorf noted that when the singing began, players from the losing Union 1861 Schönebeck team walked off the pitch and refused to continue playing. “After the match, some players were seen crying in the dressing room,” the site reported.
The referee declared the match forfeit, saying the game could not continue without the player.
A spokesman for the Eggersdorf team told FuPa: “This is completely inconsistent with our philosophy. We are politically diverse. Until then it was a great evening of football for us, with a lively atmosphere and a good crowd. Whoever called it, it was a disservice to us as a team and to the club where we have done a great job for years.”
The soccer match was just the latest in a series of documented incidents in which lyrics from “Auslander raus” have been appropriated on records by Italian DJ Gigi D’Agostino. As Breitbart London reported last month, German security police are investigating after the song was played at a party on the fashionable party island, and several young people in attendance have been identified on video recorded at the event.
