The process is expected to start in February and will conclude in the second quarter of 2021 at the earliest. The findings will be discussed by the Executive Committee of the DFL and the Members Assembly of the 36 professional clubs.
The decision about a potential minority interest will be made by the DFL Members Assembly.
