Mario Basler

In the organizer's words:

At a time when professional footballers seem as exciting as houseplants, Mario is banging his horn across Germany's stages at excessive speed. As his old coach Ottmar Hitzfeld used to say: "Mario simply has the gift of entertaining people."

Mario Basler was not only an exceptional footballer and free-kick artist, he is also a great storyteller. When Mario starts talking, there's often no stopping him, because Mario talks about how he played - with a lot of passion. And he has a lot to tell. No wonder, because Mario not only loved soccer, he also loved to do EVERYTHING a little differently from the rest of the soccer world.

Anyone experiencing Mario on stage for the first time quickly realizes: here is someone who not only loves the game of soccer, here is someone who also loves his fans.

And just like in his active days on the pitch, you can never be quite sure what will happen next. It can always happen that Mario invites a guest at short notice, brings along a new movie or starts talking to his fans. But he has assured us of one thing: he brings plenty of new stories with him.
