To cut a long story short &#8211; and you will have guessed it: There was just nobody to organize them. While we don&#8217;t know about the reasons in other cities (although the might be similar to our&#8217;s), we do know what made it impossible for us: Over the course of the last few years, quite a few of our club members ventured into parenthood, while others became deeply involved with this thing called &#8222;work&#8220; in one way or another. By the end of the year we had to admit to the fact that organizing German Championships again was just not an option for us as a team.<\/p>\n<p>As sad as it is &#8211; especially since this would have been the 20th annual event &#8211; we have to face reality and deal with it. There are currently talks going on about hosting the event in 2019, but we will only confirm this when we have come to a decision.<\/p>\n<p>Happy New Year 2019, everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The year 2018 went by as quickly as ever, so let&#8217;s take some time to look back at it from a FC Footstar perspective.
