Bayern trio fined over sponsors row

Mario Goetze, Mario Gomez and Jan Kirchhoff have all been fined by Bayern Munich for wearing Nike clothing at official club events.

The reigning German champions have a long-running sponsorship deal with Adidas, and prohibit players from wearing alternative brands when fulfilling club duties.

And, after the trio all recently flaunted the rule, they have been reprimanded by their club.

Both Goetze and Kirchhoff were pictured in Nike t-shirts as they were unveiled by Bayern this week following moves from Borussia Dortmund and Mainz respectively.

The Bavarian club were forced to apologise Adidas for those incidents, but found themselves in hot water yet again when Gomez was pictured in a Nike hat at the club’s training ground.

The players have accepted their sanction, with the fines set to be donated to victims of the recent floods in Germany.
