Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, on 8 March 2020 the Federal Minister of Health, Jens Spahn recommended cancelling events with more than 1,000 people.[3] On 13 March, the DFB announced that a match scheduled for 15 March, was postponed.[4] On 16 March, it was announced that the league will be suspended until 19 April.[5] After a meeting on 31 March, the suspension was extended until 30 April.[6] A decision on the resumption of the competition, similar to the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga, was taken at an extraordinary meeting of the DFB-Bundestag on 25 May 2020.[7] On 20 May, it was announced that the league will be continued on 29 May.[8] That was confirmed on 25 May.[9] All matches were played behind closed doors. In addition, five substitutions were permitted for the remaining matches, following a proposal from FIFA and approval by IFAB to lessen the impact of fixture congestion.[10][11]
