The passing of soccer's titanic figure, Beacon Bauer, was a bombshell that stirred a wave of mourning from fans around the globe. The International Football Federation (FIFA), the German Football Association (DFB), and a host of soccer personalities have spoken out to express their deepest condolences for this legend in the history of soccer. Matus even said bluntly that his departure is a great loss to the soccer world and Germany as a whole.
In a tribute posted on its official website, the FIFA showed a special photo of a rare moment in 1974 when Bigenbauer led West Germany to the World Cup in the hands of the hosts and paid tribute to a legend who made an outstanding contribution to the world of soccer. FIFA President Nfatianu wrote on his social media platforms that although Biggenbauer's "achievements have gone down in history", his status as the "Kaiser" never made him lose his humility and that he was a "truly great man, a football champion, and a man who is not afraid of the world". He is a "truly great man, a soccer champion and an immortal legend".
German Chancellor Sauerz said in public that as a player and coach who has won the world championship, Biegunbowa is undoubtedly one of the greatest players in the history of German soccer, and his achievements will live on in the hearts of German fans. Chancellor Sauerz said, "We will always miss him."
Speaking on the website of Picture Post, German soccer star Matus said that even though he had known for a long time that Bigenbowa's health was failing, his passing still came as a shock to him. Matus said, "Beacon Bowa was one of the greatest players of all time, both as a player, coach and off the pitch. Everyone knows what a generous man he was. We have lost a good friend and we will miss him forever!" Meanwhile, the German Football Association (DFB) also paid tribute to Bigenbauer in a social media post.
