FC Heidenheim<\/a> hosted an awareness matchday for ME\/CFS sufferers during their game against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsg-hoffenheim.de\/en\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.tsg-hoffenheim.de\/en\">TSG 1899 Hoffenheim<\/a>. We were also present with a booth, which was managed on our behalf by a team of volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The awareness campaign featured an article in the stadium magazine as well as an interview with a relative of a person affected. We were particularly delighted by the walk-on activity, where the children entered the pitch wearing awareness shirts. These shirts featured our logo alongside the <a href=\"https:\/\/mecfs-research.org\/en\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mecfs-research.org\/en\/\">ME\/CFS Research Foundation<\/a> logo, as well as our motto \u201cMissing from the Stands \u2013 Lost to ME\/CFS\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, our awareness video was shown on the stadium screen. Sponsors also supported the Awareness Matchday by donating advertising space for ME\/CFS-related content. We would like to thank 1. FC Heidenheim and the sponsors, especially AOK, for organizing this event. A special thank you also goes to the volunteers who represented us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"5758\" src=\"https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/aufklaerungsarbeit-am-stadion-heidenheim-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/aufklaerungsarbeit-am-stadion-heidenheim-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/aufklaerungsarbeit-am-stadion-heidenheim-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/aufklaerungsarbeit-am-stadion-heidenheim-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/aufklaerungsarbeit-am-stadion-heidenheim-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/aufklaerungsarbeit-am-stadion-heidenheim.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"5757\" src=\"https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/infostand-heidenheim-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/infostand-heidenheim-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/infostand-heidenheim-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/infostand-heidenheim-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/infostand-heidenheim-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/infostand-heidenheim.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"891\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"5756\" src=\"https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/heidenheim-einlaufshirts-891x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/heidenheim-einlaufshirts-891x1024.jpeg 891w, https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/heidenheim-einlaufshirts-261x300.jpeg 261w, https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/heidenheim-einlaufshirts-768x882.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/emptystands.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/heidenheim-einlaufshirts.jpeg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 891px) 100vw, 891px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 1.
