Bundesligla decides to return fans to stadiums

Bundesligla is ready to open the doors for spectators, starting Friday in the event of the challenge between Bayern Munich and Schalke 04.

The German government, according to what the daily Kicker suggests, has clarified the uniform rules for the return of fans to the stadiums under a accord given for six weeks of testing during which plants can be completed to a maximum of 20% of their capacity. The situation will be reassessed later in late October.

So, it's still too early to see Dortmund's Yellow Over, but not to say goodbye to the card fans who had taken the course of the stadiums on post-lockdown weekends: “must be a kind of experiment, a start of testing”, Bavaria Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has announced.

In fact, in this period infection indexes will be assessed in order to predict new restrictions if a certain threshold is exceeded.

The independent decisions of some Lands had allowed the public to return to fill the stands for several German Cup matches, including a controversial Hans Rostock-Stutgart, with 7,500 spectators without any distance in certain sectors.

In addition, four Bundesligla clubs had already received the green light from relevant health authorities to start the championship season with spectators. 8,500 spectators will be present at Werder Bremen's matches against Herthha and Leipzig v. Mainz (comparing in both cases by approximately 20% of the stadium's capacity).

Eintracht Frankfurt had received approval for 6,500 fans against Armina Bielefeld and Union Berlin for 5,000 against Augsburg. Now the joint protocol has arrived, which will allow all clubs to embrace, at least in part, their fans.
