The Bundesliga asks to extend the break until April 30

The Bundesliga plans to extend the hiatus until April 30. After being forced to postpone the last two days of the highest German competition due to the coronavirus crisis, the league federation DFL met on Tuesday via videoconference and will recommend prolonging the break until April 30. It will be next March 31 when the representatives of the DFL meet with the 36 clubs of the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 to make a final decision on how and when the German championship can be resumed.

“The DFL presidency is fully aware that all scenarios and options depend on factors outside of it. Both the DFL and the clubs cannot, or only partially, influence them. It is about the spread of the virus and the assessment of the situation by politics. In this scenario, the DFL presidency will express the recommendation to extend the suspension of all activity in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga2 until, at least, April 30, “said the statement issued by the DFL.

Of course, everything possible will be done to avoid total suspension. “Responsibility for a financial branch with a total of 56,000 employees” leaves him no other option, the league body explained. Therefore, the objective is to carry out the season until June 30, at which time numerous player contracts expire and which forces the authorities to try, at least, to play the rest of the matches until that deadline. Various scenarios are being considered, most of them behind closed doors and expressly to carry out the matches in a few weeks.
