The day's dominant story was UEFA's threat to boycott FIFA tournaments over Infantino's investor plans, reported by Spiegel, Sueddeutsche, and others from mid-afternoon onward. Earlier, the CDU's internal crisis resurfaced with Spiegel's 'palace revolt' analysis and Bild's warning of four dangers for Merz, but the FIFA-UEFA rift pushed it aside. The heatwave's deadly toll gained attention with record heat-related deaths in NRW and nationwide. The Ceuta migration crisis escalated, with Spain sending troops and Italy considering suspending Schengen. BMW's profit collapse and restructuring, along with the CSD attack aftermath, received secondary coverage.
