Germany's Football Association on Wednesday was left shaking its head and offered more questions than answers on the future of the country's national sport, with a quarter of a million of jobs on the line due to the coronavirus.
The virus forced the complete suspension of matches in the country on March 16 and until April 2 at least, putting the entire season and national team matches in doubt.The Bundesliga has been in strong financial health for more than a decade, with top-division clubs generating over 4 billion euros in revenue for the first time according to its annual report last month, the 15th straight year of growth.
"At the moment there are few solutions. The only way is to persevere and to get through this safely together," Keller said."This is also a financial crisis with football employing around 250,000 people. We are trying to protect these jobs. "We will see how we solve the problems but we do not know when the league will start and in what form and shape it will resume," Germany coach Joachim Loew said."We just don't know when football will start again."
