“I would like to thank the political decision-makers at the state and federal levels for placing their confidence in us.”
There are nine rounds of fixtures remaining for the majority of Bundesliga teams.
While the 2019-20 season will return in Germany, the Eredivisie and Ligue 1 have already cancelled their campaigns due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
The Premier League and Serie A remain determined to complete their seasons but have yet to finalise if and when it will be possible to do so.
On Thursday, the DFL, which has developed a comprehensive set of hygiene protocols for the proposed restart, will host a general meeting via video conference. The governing body, along with representatives from 36 clubs, will discuss the finer details of the resumption of play.
In addition to having to reschedule all Bundesliga fixtures, the meeting will also include finding ways to play out the remainder of the DFB Cup semi-finals and final.
The DFL has also been asked to “develop a sustainable concept for the future of other leagues”, referring in particular to the German third division and women’s leagues.(Goal.com)
