Dortmund (dpa) - Borussia Dortmund has appealed to its fans not to travel to the capital for the cup final on Thursday (8.45 p.m.) against RB Leipzig.
«Please refrain from traveling to Berlin or gathering in crowds to watch the game together or to celebrate in the event of a cup win.
Please stay at home, your health is clearly in the foreground, ”said the association on its website with reference to the ongoing risk of corona infection.
The Berlin police had already "consistently enforced the Corona Protection Ordinance" at the 2020 final.
That is also to be expected this year.
In addition, it can be assumed that “both contact restrictions and a curfew will not be lifted until the final”.
After the final, the BVB team will fly directly to Frankfurt to prepare for the Bundesliga game at FSV Mainz 05 on the following Sunday as part of the tightened anti-corona measures of the German Football League.
The team will only return to Dortmund after the game in Mainz, but must immediately move into a hotel there as a closed group.

"Even if there is nothing in the world that we would rather do than celebrate with you at Borsigplatz, unfortunately there can be no celebration in Dortmund in the event of a cup win," wrote BVB.
