Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder has given the Bundesliga clubs a little hope with a view to the ban on spectators. “We have to see how it develops with Omikron,” said the CSU politician in a double pass at Sport1: “If the danger for the hospitals should not be comparable to the Delta variant, we have to take it as a basis and see how we can deal with it.”
In Bavaria, as in much of Germany, fans are completely excluded. In some federal states there are exceptions, where a few hundred or a few thousand viewers are allowed.
Söder called the different regulations “particularly annoying”. Borussia Dortmund’s managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke recently called for a stadium load of ten percent, as football would not be able to hold out financially for ghost games.
“We have to look at the next two or three weeks. Should there be any improvement, we will discuss other models,” said Söder: “At the moment we’d better stick with the cautious variant. We did well with it. We have to drive on sight . “
