German Govt gives green light

19th May to restart the season with 9 matches left.



The Bundesliga season is free to restart in the second half of May, with the German government giving the green light on a return to action.

Football in Germany has been suspended since mid-March, with coronavirus having infected over 150,000 people in the country so far. Almost 6,300 people have died of the disease in the country.

More on Germany's announcements

More now on the announcements by German Chancellor Angela Merkel after her discussions with the heads of the country's 16 states:

Large shops will be able to reopen, those in residential care homes will be allowed to have visitors, and two households will be able to meet together in public

German's Bundesliga football league will also be allowed to return later this month

The states will decide how to reopen things like cinemas, restaurants and theatres

Social distancing rules will stay in place until 5 June, such as maintaining a distance of 1.5m (5ft)

The chancellor stressed that if infections begin to rise, restrictions will be brought back swiftly. But she was optimistic, and thanked the German people for listening to the rules - in particular the public health authority.

"The first phase of the pandemic is behind us," she said, but added that Germany is "still very much in the early phases of the pandemic and will be in it for the long haul."

Bundesliga to be first major football league to return

The German Bundesliga will be the world's first major football league to return following the coronavirus pandemic when it does restart.

The last game was played on 11 March with each club having nine or 10 matches left to play. Games will be behind closed doors.

The English and Spanish top flights are hoping to return next month, while Italian teams have been allowed to start individual training. The top leagues in France and the Netherlands are not finishing after being cut short.

Only a handful of low-profile football leagues - in countries like Belarus and Nicaragua - have continued during the coronavirus pandemic.

Tuesday saw the return of South Korea's baseball division, with their football league set to return on Friday.

Earlier today, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the country's top football league, the Bundesliga, could resume this month and we now have the date: 15 May.

The last Bundesliga match was played on 11 March, before football across most of Europe was halted because of the coronavirus pandemic. All remaining matches in Germany will be played behind closed doors.

Top-flight leagues in England, Spain and Italy are trying to find a way to complete their campaigns, although France's Ligue 1 will not resume and Paris St-Germain have been declared champions, while the Netherlands' Eredivisie season has been abandoned, with no champions, relegation or promotion.
