News | The Bundesliga successfully fought against the pandemic with hygiene concepts. Now the league put together a plan to reopen the stadiums, but there was headwind from politics.
Federal Minister of Health Spahn against Bundesliga with fans
The soccer industry fought the pandemic early on and ensured a smooth restart. The next step is to gradually let the first fans back into the stadiums. The elaborated concept should now convince the politicians, but early on several top politicians position themselves against the opening of the Stages.
Thousands of spectators in the stadiums – that doesn’t fit with the current infection rate. Now is the time not to take any avoidable risks. The DFL concept is good in theory. The decisive factor is #Pandemic but the practice in everyday life.

Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn responded to “Twitter”. “Thousands of spectators in the stadiums – that doesn’t fit with the current infection rate. The DFL concept is good in theory. In a pandemic, everyday practice is decisive. “
There is also agreement among the GMK (Conference of Health Ministers) that fans in stadiums are not responsible until October 31, according to the “kicker“. The CSU boss Markus Söder, a great proponent of the restart, criticized the increased number of cases in the last few weeks, but also the wrong signaling effect to the public in the case.
