What happened to Daniel Nivel?

Answer 1

French police officer and German hooligan victim Daniel Nivel was invited Tuesday to attend the Germany-Poland World Cup match on June 14.
The Frenchman and his family had already accepted the November offer by the German Soccer Federation to be its guest at the World Cup, but a game for them to attend wasn't selected.

During the 1998 World Cup in France, German thugs wielding metal bars beat Nivel into a life-threatening coma in Lens. Four of the attackers later were convicted.

Two years later, the German Soccer Federation started the Daniel Nivel Foundation to research violence in soccer, help victims and develop preventive measures.
