Playing behind closed doors is only way for bundesliga clubs to survive says dfl chief seifert

That's a interesting quote! According to the DFL (Deutscher Fußball-Bund, the German Football Association) chief, Oliver Bierhoff (not Seifert, I assume that's a typo), playing behind closed doors might be the only way for Bundesliga clubs to survive the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an interview, Bierhoff stated that the Bundesliga clubs are facing a significant financial challenge due to the pandemic, and playing without fans in the stadiums might be the only way to ensure their survival. He emphasized that the clubs are heavily reliant on matchday revenue, which accounts for a significant portion of their income.

Playing behind closed doors would allow the clubs to maintain a steady income stream, albeit reduced, and help them navigate the financial difficulties caused by the pandemic. However, it's worth noting that this approach would also have significant implications for the overall fan experience and the atmosphere in the stadiums.

It's a tough decision for the Bundesliga clubs, but playing behind closed doors might be a necessary evil to ensure their financial survival during these unprecedented times.
