The corona situation is worsening in Germany. Because the vaccination quota is still below 70% nationwide, football fans have to expect restrictions in some Bundesliga stadiums. In most stadiums, the 2G rule applies in order to ensure full utilization of the stadium capacity. After the federal-state consultations on Thursday in Berlin, it is clear: From the coming week, only vaccinated people or people who have recovered from the coronavirus should have access to sports events. However, there are still exceptions in some cases. Before the 12th matchday of the Bundesliga 2021/22 season, the SPORTBUZZER gives an overview of what fans have to be prepared for when visiting a stadium in the respective arenas.
