The Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 will pay tribute to the victims of the coronavirus pandemic before the next games on matchdays 27 and 28. The teams will also take to the field with black armbands.

“The spread of the coronavirus has already taken many lives throughout the world. German professional football would like to express its condolences on the next two matchdays,” says Christian Seifert, Speaker of the Executive Committee of the DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga.

“At the same time, the utmost appreciation and gratitude go to all those in medicine, care, supply, politics and many other areas in our country who work tirelessly in the fight against the effects of the pandemic.”
