Finally emotions again, finally fans again, finally full stadiums again.
464,918 spectators are admitted this weekend, including the Friday games in the 1st and 2nd league. And even if not all games are sold out, there will be as many fans in the stadiums as there have been since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020. Most clubs have 3G, some have 2G or 3G + (with a PCR test).
In BILD fans tell why they are looking forward to returning to the stadium.
