Managing Director Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has promised the management team of FC Bayern Munich a more appropriate behavior in Corona times for future visits to the stadium. “We all agree that the image was not exemplary. We are going to change that,” Rummenigge said on the “Sky90” television show.
In the 8-0 Bundesliga opener against FC Schalke 04 on Friday night at the Allianz Arena, representatives of the Bayern club and guests from Gelsenkirchen sat together in the official gallery without distance or protection for the mouth and nose.
Rummenigge also spoke of a misunderstanding in the interpretation of Corona’s requirements. The 64-year-old, like his colleague Oliver Kahn before him, referred to the provisions of the Bavarian Infection Protection Measures Ordinance, which basically allows groups of up to ten people to stay in public spaces. And he added: “In the next game we will keep the necessary distance, if that is what we want.”
The Bavarian Minister of Health intervenes
Bavarian Health Minister Melanie Huml had previously reprimanded top FC Bayern leaders for their behavior. According to the CSU politician, it would have been “wiser for them if they had not sat so close together, because there was also enough space,” she told the dpa news agency on Saturday. The Bavarian Infection Protection Measures Ordinance allows ten people to sit together in a group, especially in restaurants. “But according to the ordinance, a minimum distance of 1.5 meters is generally provided for sporting events nationwide,” Huml added.
SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach had also criticized the club’s executive suite. “Children should wear masks in class. FC Bayern coaches enjoy football and obviously don’t care that they are not a role model for anyone. No one can be proud of that,” Lauterbach wrote. Twitter.
Rummenigge said on the talk show that FC Bayern wanted and will take into account the “health aspects” in the crown pandemic. But it is also important that the club can play in front of an audience as soon as possible. The permit to compete against Schalke in front of 7,500 spectators had been withdrawn by the city on short notice due to the sharp increase in corona infections in Munich. The handling of incidence values should be clearly clarified.
According to Rummenigge, he was in contact with DFL chief Christian Seifert about the matter. This was also confirmed by the German Football League (DFL) at the request of the Sports Information Service (SID), but there were probably no consequences.
The DFL hygiene concept states: “All groups of people, with the exception of active players and referees on the field, are required to wear mouth and nose protection in the stadium.” However, journalists were also allowed to remove their masks in the stands, as long as they maintained the prescribed minimum distance.
