Tim Wiese, the ex-national soccer goalkeeper, is taking on his former club Werder Bremen in court this Monday, aiming to overturn the stadium ban they imposed on him. The ban, which excludes him from the stadium until the end of the year, stems from an incident that transpired during Bremen's home game against Bayer Leverkusen back in March.
Wiese, who played 266 competitive matches for Bremen, claims the club hasn't provided him with a clear explanation of the incident, thereby basing the ban on arbitrariness rather than a proper investigation of the facts. His defense lawyer, Heiko Klatt, noted at the time that Bremen had failed to contact the witnesses named by Wiese or question them about the allegations.
Despite the incident and the resulting ban, Wiese's love for soccer remains undimmed. He hopes to continue enjoying matches at the stadium once the court proves that the processes leading to the ban were unfair.
