German Bundesliga to resume on May 15
Germany's Bundesliga -- one of the top soccer leagues in the world -- will resume play before the end of the month, officials say, according to TMZ Sports report. League officials reportedly met with top German government leaders -- including German Chancellor Angela Merkel -- to ask for the play to resume and their request was granted.
Bundesliga has been cleared to restart as early as May 15. The league is expected to announce an official restart date on Thursday. The league -- comprised of 36 teams -- had shut down in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the source said still unclear what kind of medical screening will be instituted when the league gets up and running ... but fans will NOT be allowed to attend the games.
Most teams in the league -- including world-famous teams like Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund -- only have around 9 matches left on their regular season schedule.’
