Angela Merkel gave the green light to the resumption of german Bundesliga, and by extension to the more important leagues in Europe

Angela Merkel gave the green light on Wednesday to the resumption of the activity with an announcement at a press conference that was in suspense to the sports and sports betting community. And is that the Bundesliga, which was interrupted on the afternoon of March 13 will be played again in just two weeks.

Angela Merkel met with the german Länder presidents, who had already been in favor of the tournament starting again in May but the final decision was up to the state government. One test per player per week and another one the day before the match are part of the health security protocol that awaits German soccer professionals.

It is now up to the Bundesliga to set the exact date of the restart. Shuffled on May 22 or 29. The league will meet this Thursday to choose a date and agree on the calendar that remains to be disputed. Everything pointed to the ball rolling again the weekend of May 15, but after Merkel's announcement, it will take more patience, as the teams must go through a two-week preventive quarantine, which has delayed that reopening of the competition.

It should be remembered that the Bundesliga teams continue to train in small groups and have not yet obtained permission to return to complete sessions with physical contact. The leaders of the entities have already warned that the accelerator will have to be stepped on, since they intend to complete the remaining nine days before June 30, at which time numerous contracts expire in the Bundesliga.
