Germany’s sport minister backs resumption of football this month

Germany’s minister for the interior and sport said that he supports the resumption of the country’s football season this month despite the pandemic. The German Football League (DFL) backs a resumption of matches without spectators around mid-May. This would make it the first major European championship to make such a move.

Seehofer, who plays a key government role on the issue as he holds several portfolios, has emphasised that the teams and players must respect several conditions. He said that if anyone from the team contracts the virus, both the teams as well as the club as a whole must go into quarantine for two weeks.
