After rumors had already escalated in recent days that the federal government wanted to disrupt the current amateur soccer season after the recent spike in the number of infections, it was fortunately given the go-ahead just moments ago. At a press conference, Sport Minister Kogler announced that active sport “is still possible”.
An overview of the tightening of private meetings and events.
- without assigned seats: outside 12 people, inside 6 people,
- for all events with more people only with assigned seats. In addition, there is an obligation to notify the health authority
- authorization requirement is 250 people
- Masks are required throughout the event (indoor and outdoor)
- Food and drinks are not allowed at the events.
- Maximum number of officially approved events (1000 indoors, 1500 outdoors)
These measures will take effect from midnight on Friday.
ÖFB President Leo Windtner appealed to the government
ÖFB President Dr. Leo Windtner recently called on the government and authorities to “continue to enable all kinds of sports that are so important for health.” The Upper Austrian native is convinced that a game interruption can be avoided if spectators wear mouth and nose protection, canteens are closed at the end of the game and food and drink consumption only takes place on the pitch.
Furthermore, studies and figures from the ÖFB show that the likelihood of the virus being transmitted by exercising outdoors is extremely low. As announced by the ÖFB in a broadcast, 36,841 of the 38,383 games scheduled in all leagues took place as planned (about 96 percent). “The numbers are proof of the disciplined implementation of the developed prevention concept and responsible action during training and games by active players and officials,” said ÖFB President Windtner.
