All weekend matches in the Bundesliga and second tier Bundesliga 2 have been called off, the German Football League (DFL) said in a statement on Friday.
The DFL went on to recommend that both leagues be suspended until April 2.
“The decision was taken in view of the dynamics of today’s events with new coronavirus infections and corresponding suspected cases directly related to the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2,” the statement said.
It said a general assembly would be held on Monday where it would recommend to the clubs that both leagues be put on hold until April 2.(Reuters/NAN)
