The German Football League (DFL) CEO Christian Seifert said that impeding Bundesliga matches behind closed doors is not an ‘ideal solution’ but it is the only option to retain the league.
On Wednesday, Chancellor Angela Merkel and the heads of the German federal states supposed that the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 seasons can begin from Mid May.
“Today’s decision is good news for Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2. It is associated with a great responsibility for the clubs and their employees to implement the medical and organisational requirements in a disciplined manner,” DFL’s official website quoted Seifert as saying.
“Matches without stadium spectators are not an ideal solution for anyone. However, during this crisis, which threatens the existence of some clubs, it is the only option to preserve the Leagues in their present form. Today I’d like to thank the decision-makers at the state and federal level for placing their confidence in us,” he added.
Due to coronavirus pandemic, all the sports activities comes to halt. Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) ended the 2019-2020 season, with Paris Saint-Germain announced champions of Ligue 1 on April 30. Other league will also consider ending season if things doesn’t improve.
