Father of Vincent Kompany turns up in Parliament with Bayern scarf

A day after Vincent Kompany guided Bayern Munich to a memorable UEFA Champions League quarter-final victory over Real Madrid, his father, Pierre Kompany, made headlines of his own, not for politics, but for football pride.

On Thursday, April 16, 2026, the Brussels parliamentarian turned up to an official session draped in a Bayern Munich scarf, a symbolic gesture that quickly caught the attention of colleagues and observers alike.

The move came just 24 hours after Bayern’s dramatic triumph over the Spanish giants, a result that further cemented Vincent Kompany’s growing reputation on the European stage.

Pierre Kompany, who has served in the Brussels Parliament for over a decade, is no stranger to public attention.

However, this time it was his visible show of support for his son that sparked conversation, blending the worlds of politics and sport in a uniquely personal way.

Eyewitnesses described the moment as light-hearted, with some lawmakers amused by the proud father’s display. Others noted it as a rare break from the usual seriousness of parliamentary proceedings.

The gesture has since circulated widely.
