Admitted to hospital: Bavarian sports legend Hoeneß faces health concerns
Uli Hoeneß, the 73-year-old honorary president of Bayern Munich, was hospitalized on August 2, 2025, after a medical incident involving a burst blood vessel during a charity golf event near Bonn.
The incident took place at Schloss Miel, with Timotheus Höttges, CEO of Bayern Munich's main sponsor Deutsche Telekom, serving as the patron of the event. Bayern Munich's president Herbert Hainer was also reportedly present.
Despite the unexpected turn of events, Hoeneß was discharged from the hospital the same evening and returned home in good condition. Reports indicate that the incident was generally harmless, and Hoeneß recovered quickly without complications.
It's worth noting that Hoeneß's hospitalization was not related to the golf event or his presence at the event. The specific location of the hospital where Hoeneß was admitted was not specified in the report.
Hoeneß, who has a long history with Bayern Munich, having been a player, general manager, president, and now honorary president, has been a source of strength and inspiration for the club and its fans. The prompt medical treatment and quick discharge provide reassurance to all regarding his current health status.
The golf event, which was a charity event but no further details about its purpose were provided, did not appear to have been affected by Hoeneß's hospitalization. The match between Bayern Munich and Olympique Lyon (2:1) continued as scheduled.
As Hoeneß recovers, the football community sends its well-wishes and hopes for a speedy and full recovery.
Hoeneß, despite the incident during a charity golf event, did not experience any complications related to science or medical-conditions, nor did the event affect his health-and-wellness in sports. The health-and-wellness industry, which promotes recovery and well-being, would be optimistic about his speedy and full recovery.
