German Bundesliga Could Restart on 9 May 2020

May 9 begins to be considered as a date on which the Bundesliga could restart behind closed doors and within the framework of a series of hygiene measures to prevent possible infections with the coronavirus.

The date was initially suggested by the Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder in a gathering organized by the newspaper 'Bild', and broadcast by his television channel, in which the head of the regional government of North Rhine-Westphalia, Armin Laschet, also participated. .

Laschet spoke about that possibility, although without setting a date and making it clear that there could be no games with the public. "This season there would be no games with the public. But I can imagine games behind closed doors. There is a well thought-out plan for the German Football League (DFL)," said Laschet.

"It's a balancing act. We have to continue to be careful. But because of the DFL's hygiene plan, I think we can take a chance. Maybe starting May 9," Söder said.

Health Minister Jens Spahn also considered it possible that there will be matches behind closed doors as of May 9. "With a coherent plan it is possible to organize matches behind closed doors. The decisive thing is that it reduces to a minimum the danger of contagion. For millions of fans it would be to recover some normality from May 9, although with empty stadiums," said Spahn.
