Erdinger associations skeptical: no training of the vaccinated

Despite the announced easing, both the association and the footballers in the district are still holding back.

Erding - The corona-plagued footballers in the Erding district can hope again.

On Wednesday the incidence value was 88.3 (see p. 1).

If he stays below 100 for the next four days, training is possible again.

At least in theory, because what the Bavarian state government decided in its cabinet meeting on Tuesday with regard to easing is, according to the Bavarian Football Association (BFV), only "a small ray of hope, but not a big hit".

The clubs in the district are also holding back.

From May 10th, if the seven-day incidence is stable below 100, outdoor team training with body contact and without group restrictions will be possible again - provided all participants have been vaccinated twice or have recovered or have a daily negative PCR test, POC antigen test or self-test . If the incidence value is stable below 50, team training with contact is allowed even without vaccination and test. The prerequisite, however, is the approval by the district office, which also determines the protective and hygiene measures. It was also announced that the Ministry of the Interior will present a general hygiene concept for the sports sector.

"Despite the clear statements made by all the experts that sport in the open air does not represent an increased risk of infection, the hurdles for Bavarian amateur footballers remain very high," criticized BFV treasurer Jürgen Foldbacher.

He is thinking in particular of the obligation to test.

“Basically, we're really happy that things are moving a little,” says Franco Soave, FC Lengdorf's player-coach.

But the balls are currently still in the Kammerl.

“We are currently in no hurry to start training under these conditions.

We will therefore wait a little longer and see how the politics and the numbers develop. "

Soave regrets that “the BFV has not yet issued a solid statement on how and when the new season will start”.

A meeting with the entire team is conceivable, "to have a fun unit if the boys feel like it".

The FCL hope for a regular operation without conditions from June.

"Otherwise we will discuss in the club the conditions under which we start."

Markus Wetzel, Sports Director of TSV Dorfen, would like to know how things are currently with the end of the season and the scoring of the points round (we reported): “Since the BFV has not yet positioned itself and we therefore don't know how and when it will continue, we will not continue to train in the men's area from next Monday. "Wetzel is annoyed:" That's all wishy-washy - like this today, like that tomorrow. "

In the youth sector, things could possibly start again earlier. “There is something else too. The main thing is that the children are finally allowed to play sports in the community again. That should be the big goal for all of us. ”Pir / mlt
