Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt or Bonn: This Monday the basketball players want to decide where the final tournament of the suspended men's Bundesliga should take place. However, the authorities still lack the okay.

Frankfurt / Main / Bonn (dpa) - Telekom Baskets Bonn have also applied to host the planned final tournament of the basketball Bundesliga.

This was confirmed by Club President Wolfgang Wiedlich of the German Press Agency. The trade magazine "BIG" had previously tweeted the relevant information. The Rheinländer are the fourth club to host the tournament alongside the Fraport Skyliners Frankfurt, Alba Berlin and FC Bayern Munich. For financial reasons, Telekom Baskets do not want to participate in this.

The concepts of the different applicants will be compared in a switching conference on Monday. Unlike in ice hockey or handball, where the first league seasons were canceled due to the Corona crisis, the basketball Bundesliga wants to end the season with ten of 17 teams. A final tournament without spectators is planned. This plan has yet to be approved by the authorities and politicians.

Skyliners Managing Director Gunnar Wöbke sees Frankfurt as the ideal host for the final tournament. "You can do that very, very well in Frankfurt," said the manager of the Hessian first division club Fraport Skyliners during an online press conference. The prerequisites for holding the tournament could all be met.

"On a scale from zero to ten, we would get a ten," said Woebke. For a result at the switching conference, Wöbke sees no time pressure: "The goal is that a decision will be made on Monday. But if no city should crystallize out clearly or there are still unanswered questions, I believe that we would rather have one or should leave two days. "

The pros should be prevented from external influences before the tournament. "We will isolate the players if we bring them back and put them in quarantine in single rooms for 14 days," Wöbke announced last week. The players are to be medically examined every morning and tested for the coronavirus twice a week.
