During the DFL press conference, there was also space for other issues: Seifert explained that the matches will all be played behind closed doors and that “it is not yet clear whether or not there will be the five substitutions” given that for FIFA “it is a decision still to be made“.

On the free-to-air TV races he said that “there are constructive and valid discussions with the media partners but special and appropriate measures may be taken for the situation“. Seifert also spoke of the quarantine: “The seven-day period quarantine and not the fourteen-day period is justified and agreed with the German health system, which made it possible to restart with the games“.

UEFA President Ceferin welcomed the official news of the resumption of the Bundesliga: “What the German authorities have agreed on for the return of the Bundesliga is great news. It is a gigantic and positive step to restore optimism in the lives of people. It is the result of constructive dialogue and careful planning between the football and political authorities and I am confident that Germany will be a shining example for all of us on how to bring football – its emotions and unpredictability – back to our lives. I wish every success to everyone involved.
