Eintracht Frankfurt and Austria defender Martin Hinteregger retired from professional football at the age of 29, according to Sportbuzzer..

The football player met with the club's management and asked to be released from the contract, which was valid until 2024. As a result, Eintracht could not convince the player and agreed to do it..

The reason for this step was the situation outside the football field. Hinteregger has come under fire in recent weeks for hosting the Hinti Cup football tournament in Austria..

Journalists found out that the footballer organized the event together with far-right politician Heinrich Zikl.

Hinteregger eventually apologized and condemned right-wing views, and also noted that he wants to change his orientation in life..
