Herzogenaurach is the birthplace of two sporting goods giants:
Adidas and
Puma , founded by the two brothers
Adolf Dassler and
Rudolf Dassler , after an acrimonious family split in 1948. Both companies’ headquarters are still located in the town on opposite sides of the Aurach River, and brand loyalty is sharply divided as well.
The
Argentina national football team resided in Herzogenaurach for the
2006 FIFA World Cup . Néstor De la Torre, Mexico’s Director of National Teams, said the
Selección de fútbol de México (Mexico national team) would gather for 12 days in the city, its last stop before heading to South Africa for the
2010 FIFA World Cup .
