Munich (dpa) - Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge thinks a cancellation of the European Football Championship this summer is conceivable for two reasons.
"It may be necessary for the EURO to be postponed for health reasons or due diligence," he said. Because of the consequences of the corona virus, global sport is currently coming to a standstill, and people are not advised to contain the pandemic. The Bundesliga takes place at the weekend without spectators. There are many trips at an EM in twelve different countries, which favors the further spread of Sars-CoV-2.
As a second reason why the tournament scheduled from June 12th to July 12th could not take place, Rummenigge cited an organizational one. "On the other hand, it is also possible that June will be available for club competitions." He pointed out that the Bundesliga was about to stop, the knockout rounds had already been interrupted in the Champions League and Europa League. "If games fail now, then we have to push them back and catch up," said the 64-year-old. "But we don't know how long the topic will keep us busy."
