Alice Lynch, St Killian’s School Principal, said “ This was a tremendous gesture by members of the German squad to visit our school on the day of their important game, despite a busy schedule. We wish to thank them sincerely and in particular Mr Wolfgang Niersbach – President of the DFB and Philip Behan of Milenio Sports Management for linking in with the DFB and organising the event for us. Our students were so excited to welcome the DFB and have been eagerly awaiting the event since it was announced to them earlier this week.”
Oliver Bierhoff, the former AC Milan and Germany striker and current Team Manager stated on behalf of the DFB, “We were delighted to visit St Kilian’s Deutsche Schule in Dublin during our preparations for the big game tonight. We understand the importance for the students and the school to have the opportunity to meet some of their sporting heroes and the chance to speak to them regarding their experiences and careers. The DFB wishes to congratulate St Killian’s Deutsche Schule on its 60th anniversary and the important role it plays in maintaining the strong links and friendship that exist between Germany and Ireland ”.
