The German Bundesliga’s bottom side Darmstadt have invited Barack Obama to a home game after discovering the former US President follows them on social media platform Twitter.
“It’s a huge honour for us,” said Darmstadt’s German-born US international Terrence Boyd in a video message to Obama posted on Twitter.
Boyd promised a warm welcome for the former ‘POTUS’ and revealed a Darmstadt shirt with Obama’s name on the back and the number 98 – the club was founded in 1898.
“Now that you have got a little more time for yourself, we would like to invite you to a game at the Boellenfalltor,” added Boyd, who scored in last weekend’s shock 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund.
Darmstadt filmed the message after a local radio station discovered ‘Die Lilien’ (The Lilies) is the only club in a top European league which Obama follows on Twitter.
Obama has almost 85 million followers on Twitter and follows 631,000 accounts. Darmstadt have just under 62,000 followers.
