September 20, 2020 (3:30 p.m.): RB Leipzig – FSV Mainz 05
Finally another Bundesliga game with spectators! Approved by the health department: 8,500 fans admitted to the Bundesliga start of RB Leipzig
8,500 fans in Leipzig on the 1st matchday of the 2020/2021 Bundesliga season: The Bundesliga game between RB Leipzig and Mainz 05 on Sunday, September 20, 2020, is the first since the month-long Corona interruption for which stadium visitors are again allowed .
Cheers with spectators, that’s great news for RB coach Julian Nagelsmann – especially for our fans, but also for the team. The last game with spectators was almost six months ago and we kept emphasizing how much we miss the fans and the atmosphere. “
8,500 spectators – this is only about 20 percent of the capacity in the Leipzig stadium. But the beginning has been made. Nagelsmann: “Now we can regain this experience a little. Of course we hope that we will soon be able to play in front of an audience again. “
It will be interesting to see whether other health authorities will follow the courageous example of the Saxons. Their approvals will always depend on the current local infection rate. The consultations on the safety and hygiene concepts of the clubs are currently in full swing, a good two weeks before the start of the season, after a three-month summer break.

Borussia Dortmund’s managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke is happy for Leipzig and also believes in the feasibility in North Rhine-Westphalia. Viewers in the single-digit 1000 range are “not a big risk. This would first require a corresponding signal from the state government. I think that partial admission of viewers would be possible much earlier than in November ”, Watzke told the Funke media group.
