RB Leipzig switches to the 2G rule against PSG and BVB

RB Leipzig will use the 2G rule in the home games against Paris St. Germain and Borussia Dortmund. This means that only fans who have been vaccinated against the corona virus or have recovered from illness are allowed into the stadium. The club announced after the 4: 1 (0: 1) against SpVgg Greuther Fürth.

At the same time, the Saxons expressed their “clear lack of understanding” about the failure to adapt the Corona Protection Ordinance for 3G in the state. “This decision is difficult for us, but unfortunately the new version of the Saxon Corona Protection Ordinance of the Free State of Saxony (which came into force on October 21, 2021) still contains a strict capacity restriction for major organizers if a 3G regulation is applied for visitors “, it said in a message.

Due to the incidence, Leipzig is only likely to let 24,758 fans into the arena for 3G, compared to 47,000 for 2G. “In the past few days we have done everything within the scope of our possibility as a Bundesliga soccer team and presented various solution models to the state government as to how capacity restrictions for outdoor soccer games can be reduced or even lifted under 3G conditions. Because it was and is for us crucial that we do not want to exclude any of our fans, “said RB:” Unfortunately, these solutions – which from our point of view correspond to the current reality of life – were not taken into account in the new version of the Saxon Corona Protection Ordinance. “
