Good news for football fans coming in from Germany! Apparently, the German Bundesliga and the 2. Bundesliga are set to end the break caused by the coronavirus crisis, according to a recent statement by the league' CEO, Christian Seifert.
While earlier reports stated that the games would resume during the first half of May, Seifert's words hint that a return to the pitch will be held on May 28 behind closed doors.
Seifert revealed that most German teams are already training in order to gain form ahead of their final games of the season. All German clubs will keep working closely with their government to avoid more problems related to the pandemic.
"The sooner we restart the tournament, the better. We will give all teams in Europe more flexibility to play in European competitions as well. All teams are back to work under strict protocols, so we don't give our health system more problems," Seifert said in an interview with the New York Times.
The league's CEO added that going back to normality will be helpful for everyone in Germany, and football is one of the country's biggest assets.
"We are part of this country's culture. People yearn to get back to normal, and bringing back the Bundesliga would be helpful. We will keep in touch with our government in order to let the world know when it will be the proper time to go back to the pitch," Seifert added.
