Dhe football fans can look forward to a return to the stadium in the coming Bundesliga season. With the start of the 2021/22 season, a maximum of 25,000 spectators should be allowed to watch the games in German professional football under certain conditions. This decision was made by the heads of the state and senate chancelleries on Tuesday.
The arenas may therefore be used to a maximum of 50 percent, with the total number of spectators being capped at 25,000 for the time being. One exception: record champions Bayern Munich are allowed to play in front of a maximum of 20,000 fans in the Allianz Arena at home, because Bavaria initially wants to take a cautious course in re-admitting spectators and only one capacity due to the delta variant, increasing numbers of cases in other countries and the expected problem of returning visitors of a maximum of 35 percent is allowed.
The basic requirement for the return of the audience is approval by the responsible authorities. The incidence figures, which must not exceed 35, are taken into account. In Baden-Württemberg, the upper limit is 50 people who have not been vaccinated or who have recovered from corona disease must present a negative corona test. In addition, the applicable hygiene rules and the distance requirement must be observed.
