“The interest is big. I see reports from across the world that we are the first major league to return,” DFL CEO Christian Seifert told a news conference. Seifert said there would be no Friday match in the first week as the government’s order was for play to resume in the second part of the month.Bayern, chasing an eighth successive Bundesliga title, currently lead the table with 55 points from 25 games, four ahead of Dortmund with RB Leipzig third on 50. There are nine rounds of matches left to play this season.
“It is the result of constructive dialogue and careful planning between the football authorities and politicians and I am confident that Germany will provide a shining example to all of us in how to bring football — with all its excitement, emotion and unpredictability — back into our lives.”All teams will have to go into a seven-day training camp in complete isolation before May 16 with players tested before their inclusion in the camps to reduce the risk of any infection.
The DFL is desperate to finish the season by June 30 to be contractually in compliance with sponsors and broadcasters and because more than 100 players’ contracts are running out on that date, Seifert said.“The season finale will take place at the end of June,” Seifert added, with June 27-28 as a likely date.
