Football Bundesliga: Niklas Süle now plays in the regional league instead of the Champions League

Former German national team player Niklas Süle has ended his professional football career after 13 years and joined SV Tiefenbach, a local club in Baden-Württemberg.

He expressed enthusiasm about returning to football from a different perspective, focusing solely on the sport itself rather than commercial aspects.
