DFL boss Christian Seifert for easing viewer restrictions

League Chef Christian Seifert has passionately recruited for the approval of higher audience numbers when playing the football league and other sports.

We have to be careful that from the 'Team Caution' will not be the 'Team World Freedom', said the outgoing managing director of the German Football League (DFL) on Wednesday at the industry congress Spobis in Dusseldorf after his award with the honorary prize of the organizer Sponsors.

Seifert justified his appeal to further relaxations of the Corona restrictions on Europe's largest sports business event, especially with the impressive result of a DFL study on the games since the beginning of the season: At the three matchdays of the first league and the five matches of the second league as well as at the Supercup were only six infected persons in the stadiums from a total of 900,000 spectators. Afterwards, health offices have queried data from even 52 people. Anyone who is still saying football games are superpreader events or a stadium attendance is life-threatening, intentionally says something wrong.

From the study results, the DFL boss headed his demand for another opening of the stadiums and halls as before. It applies to all sports that we have to have trust and can, that the citizens know what they do.

Seifert warns: People inspire, otherwise the descent begins

The 52-year-old wants to give up the successor to advice for his successor to his followers already occurring at the beginning of the year. The DFL is now a digital sports entertainment group. There are a few important tasks to do, but there is a building kit from which Donata Hops can serve as it is correct and important for the future.

Nevertheless, after 17 years by the DFL-tip locker challenged the 36 German professional associations to support the future league boss: Donata Hop's success will also depend on the willingness of the clubs, to give her the same free spaces as me
