Start of the Bremen league is delayed

The start of the second round in the Bremen league is delayed by two weeks in mid-February (11th to 13th). Actually, the restart was planned for this weekend, but the Bremen Football Association (BFV) Association Game Committee swings in the short term. Now Bremen's highest play class should start with the lower leagues.

Organizationally, the implementation of the 2G and 2G-Plus regulations is currently a great challenge for the clubs, so the association. In addition, In many teams, the preparation for the back round start by Corona and quarantine cases was sustainably disturbed, explains BFV game committee Chairman Andreas Kramer. We have therefore decided to play the League Start by two weeks despite the legal opportunity to play. This would also give the combination the opportunity to organize the implementation of the 2G and 2G-Plus regulations organizationally, so Kramer continues.

However, the chairman is good things that the league can start in two weeks. If this is not the case, another shift to the weekend 25 to 27 February is also in the field of possible. For a shift in addition, according to the BFV, no complete second half would be possible, so that according to the BFV game order after a conclusion of the first round to March 31, a collection and descent was played.

That the clubs are now increasingly beginning to take out test games, shows us that the teams want to play and are also increasingly being able to play, says Kramer. In addition, many players through the new quarantine rules do not have to go into isolation through the new quarantine rules. Even this games in the cards of the association, for which the top priority has to complete the outstanding games of the first round, so that the season can be considered in any case.

There is also changes to the implementing rules. Instead of seven quarantine cases as before, due to the increased infection potential of the omicron variant can now be canceled even at six. In addition, up to two trainers or coaches are also under this scheme, provided that they were listed in the past three compulsory matches in the team of the team. Is not taken into account from February unvaccinated persons who are older than twelve years and have to go to quarantine due to Corona infection or as a contact person.
