SV Werder Bremen’s home game against Arminia Bielefeld will take place behind closed doors. The local government made the decision on Thursday as a result of the recent coronavirus developments in Bremen – the seven-day infection rate was higher than the limit of 35 cases per 100,000 inhabitants on Thursday.

“This trend was already indicated on Wednesday afternoon. The health senator, Claudia Bernhard, confirmed the situation this afternoon. “Our proposal to have fans at the next home game has been rejected. We would like to apologise to our fans, partners and suppliers for the short notice. The current situation is a real challenge for everyone involved,” said Werder’s president and CEO for organisation and sport, Dr. Hubertus Hess-Grunewald.

The club already spoke to the relevant health authorities on Thursday afternoon about hosting a game without any fans. “We have last season’s experiences to go by, so we expect our fans to act responsibly and not come to the wohninvest WESERSTADION,” said Hess-Grunewald. All ticket holders for the game will be informed per email on the details going forward. Werder had previously had 8,500 fans at the wohninvest WESERSTADION.
