As part of a video conference led by committee chair Siegfried Dietrich, the clubs this afternoon again spoke out in unity for a continuation of the season and agreed to the confirmation of the remaining fixtures this afternoon. The revised fixture list was agreed at a meeting of the DFB board on 11 May.
The season has been resumed based on the hygiene concept devised by the Sports Medicine/Special Match Operations Task Force. The regulations jointly produced by the DFB and the DFL require strict hygiene measures, continuous testing and monitoring. The concept complies fully with the content for the two DFL leagues and only differs slightly in terms of organisation, for example the number of persons allocated to the set zones within and outside the predominately small stadiums. The aim is to provide the best possible medical facilities and maximum health protection for everybody involved.
The plan is for the FLYERALARM Women’s Bundesliga to restart on Friday, 29 May (from 14.00 CET) with the match between VfL Wolfsburg and FC Köln as part of matchday 17 matchday. There are still six matches to play. In the Women’s DFB Cup, the quarter-finals are due to be played on 2/3 June, the semi-finals on 10/11 June and the final in Cologne on 4 July.
