The football amateurs would currently be allowed up to 400 spectators, provided they can accommodate the visitors in assigned, marked places.
At FC Deisenhofen, like many clubs, this is not possible, which is why the capacity is limited to 200 people.
Deisenhofen - A number that the Bayernliga second-placed team has often achieved in the past, and occasionally even clearly exceeded.
So there is a lot to do for the hygiene officer before the first home appearance after the restart of the season on Saturday (3 p.m.) against the U21s of TSV 1860 Munich: Dennis Petersen, youth leader of the FCD, has this new one, which has become necessary due to the corona pandemic Office “burdened”, as he says.
He was able to gain first experience in this regard at some junior games.
In an interview with Münchner Merkur, the 35-year-old describes the necessary processes and the organizational effort.
How has the hygiene measures gone at the previous youth games in Deisenhofen?
After all, there was a real big game here with the U19 derby against SpVgg Unterhaching.
The people at the youth games were very disciplined and kept the distance.
About 130 spectators saw the U19 game against Haching.
With the opponent, of course, we don't know who belongs to a household.
We don't check everyone, but we appeal to the people, point out the distances over loudspeakers.
How do you regulate the number of spectators of a maximum of 200 people?
We use a QR code at the entrance, which is recommended by the BFV.
That works pretty well.
There is a green ticket until the limit of 200 people is reached.
Then it is immediately displayed that no one can enter.
We are strict about that.
How is the process for the audience.
Do they have to wear a mask at the entrance, for example?
You don't have to enter the facility with a mask and you don't usually have to wear a mask.
But you should have them with you.
In closed rooms, for example the toilet, you are only allowed to wear a mask.
You have to put them on even if you can't keep the distances around the field.
But we try to control it and our system is spacious enough.
What extra effort does the hygiene concept entail?
For example, do you need additional volunteers?
The effort has increased significantly.
The hygiene concept needs to be updated often.
That costs me a lot of time, it feels like I'm working on it every day.
You also need someone who doesn't necessarily want to watch the game to take in the contact details, someone to watch the distances and someone to watch for masks inside.
It's already reaching the limit.
For many events, prior registration is currently desired or even compulsory.
Is a spontaneous visit to football in Deisenhofen still possible?
Naturally.
We are currently not making any advance sales.
And we are usually not above the 200 spectators.
So far, at the youth games, we haven't reached this limit, even with three games in one day.
That could happen for the first time on Saturday around sixty.
Are guest fans actually allowed?
Yes, guest fans are even welcome.
We want spectators, that's what football lives from.
