In the opinion of CEO Axel Hellmann, Eintracht Frankfurt is suffering massively from the fact that not all fans have returned to the stadium yet. “We benefited greatly from the solidarity between the active fan scene, fans, business area, team and club management. It is a fact that Eintracht as a whole club only works properly if we maintain the link between all these groups, ”Hellmann said in an interview with the VRM group (Tuesday).
Frankfurt / Main - Otherwise, Eintracht would be as arbitrary as some other clubs in the Bundesliga, "and the club will not be the same as it was before the pandemic." : "For me this will be the time when the active fan scene will return."
The Ultras had recently taken a new position before the home game against Hertha BSC and pointed out, among other things, that a mask requirement in the standing area was unacceptable.
While standing room can be almost fully used under 3G in some federal states without further restrictions, things are unfortunately still different in Frankfurt.

“I don't understand that you have to wear a mask in the standing area in the open air.
Just as little is the requirement that children and adolescents have to present a PCR test, ”said Hellmann.
The 50-year-old emphasized: “It depends on keeping the base together.
Football must not contribute to the division of society, it has to oppose it. ”95 percent of the viewers in Frankfurt are in 2G mode, that is, recovered or vaccinated.
"But there has to be a base that allows people who have not been vaccinated to still have access to the stadium," demanded Hellmann.
Otherwise there is a risk that “we will lose these people sooner or later.” Dpa
