The Ministry emphasized that systematic compliance with the highest standards of infection protection is a fundamental requirement for allowing live crowds for football matches again. Allowing fans back in (partially) should always depend on the regional trend of infections. The clubs’ concepts, which have to be approved by the local health authorities in charge, are also a key factor.
An Extraordinary Members Assembly will be convened at an early stage before the start of the season to discuss whether there will be a uniform procedure for all Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 clubs on certain points, such as ticket contingents for visiting clubs.
