The sum has been donated to the German Sports Aid Foundation (Deutsche Sporthilfe), which supports around 4,000 youth and elite athletes in as many as 50 disciplines.

The highest-selling jerseys were that of Bayern stars Franck Ribery and James Rodriguez, whose shirts sold for 3,525 and 3,050 Euros respectively.

FC Bayern and  BVB raise a combined €30,960 for Sporthilfe. This record sum was raised from the shirt sales from the Bundesliga top game."
