Berlin (dpa) - A week of decisions is coming up.
UEFA is about reform for the Champions League and the hosts for the European Championship this summer.
In the Bundesliga, the departure of FC Schalke 04 from the House of Lords may already be on the 30th matchday.
And at the lottery wheel it is decided against whom the young German footballers have to prevail in order to get into the knockout phase at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
HOW TO GO FROM FC BAYERN: Hansi Flick starts his farewell tour in Munich.
After his request for a contract termination at the end of the season, which the management of the German record champions will only discuss internally with the 56-year-old after the current English week, five league games remain with him at Bayern-Bank.
The first rises on Tuesday evening against Bayer Leverkusen in the Allianz Arena.
"We still have a little bit of plans," said Flick at the end of the season with his team.
With seven points ahead of RB Leipzig, the ninth German championship in a row and thus the seventh Bayern title win with Flick is close.

POSSIBLE DESCENT OF SCHALKE: On Tuesday, the fourth Bundesliga relegation of FC Schalke 04 after 1981, 1983 and 1988 could finally be determined. If the knocked-down bottom of the table at Arminia Bielefeld does not achieve the third win of the season, the many royal blue fans finally have a sad certainty. This was preceded by an unprecedented 15-month crash: In January 2020, the Revierclub thought it was still on the Champions League course. After that, there were just two league wins among five different coaches.
UEFA DECISIONS: The Executive Committee of the European Football Union will decide on the European Championship hosts and the reform of the European Cup this Monday. During the meeting in Montreux, Switzerland (9:00 a.m.), it should be clarified whether the Bavarian capital, Munich, can remain a co-host without a guarantee that the four European Championship games will be held in front of spectators. The three group games of the German national team are to be hosted in the Allianz Arena. In addition to Munich, Bilbao and Dublin are the shaky candidates. The far-reaching reform of the European Cup is intended to change the mode of the Champions League from 2024. It is unclear what effects new superleague efforts will have. The UEFA Congress meets on Tuesday (from 10 a.m.). DFB Vice President Rainer Koch wants to be confirmed as a member of the Executive Committee,his counterpart Peter Peters will be elected to the council of the world association FIFA for the first time.
CORONA-LAGE: In order not to jeopardize the regular end of the season after the corona shock at Hertha BSC with three game cancellations, the German Football League is considering a mandatory quarantine training camp for all 36 first and second division teams before the last two or three match days . The DFL Presidium will decide on this in the coming days. Regardless of this, 1. FC Union Berlin will go into voluntary hotel isolation this week before the games at Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday and against Werder Bremen on Saturday. Local rivals Hertha BSC can only participate in the relegation battle again after the quarantine has expired on April 29. The catch-up games against Mainz, Freiburg and Schalke should be scheduled during the week. In the 2nd Bundesliga return Holstein Kiel,Karlsruher SC and SV Sandhausen returned to gaming operations after corona quarantine.

OLYMPIA: There are still almost 100 days until the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
On Wednesday, coach Stefan Kuntz and his U23 team will find out who their opponents will be in the group phase at the football tournament from the end of July.
The German selection, which won silver in Rio in 2016, is facing a difficult group: Brazil, Egypt and Australia could be the opponents for the DFB-Elf, which is in pot two with Mexico, Honduras and Spain.
Hosts Japan, Brazil, Argentina and South Korea make up pot one.
Games against teams from the same confederation are excluded from the group stage.
FINAL LEAGUE CUP ENGLAND: The hope of a quadruple triumph for Manchester City and coach Pep Guardiola is over after the semi-final against Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel in the FA Cup.
In the League Cup final on Sunday (5 p.m.) against Tottenham Hotspur, the Citizens still have a great chance of initiating the final spurt in the Premier League and the Champions League semi-finals with a cup win.
Man City also dominated the competition: The Guardiola team recently won the League Cup three times in a row.
With another success, the club would draw level with record winners Liverpool FC (8x).
