Bayern Munich will meet Schalke 04 in the opening of the new season of the Bundesliga.
ESPN writes, initially, 7,500 spectators were allowed to attend the match at Allianz Arena, but after a sharp increase in coronavirus infections, that decision was changed.
In the last week, the number of infected in Munich per 100,000 people has risen by 48 percent, which is above the allowed limit of 35 percent agreed earlier this week at the level of all German states.
The mayor of Minena made the decision to play the match without the presence of the audience after 151 new cases of coronavirus were recorded in the capital of Bavaria on Thursday.
The Bayern – Schalke 04 match will be played on Friday at 20:30.
