The German Football Association (DFL) announced today Wednesday that it will launch a virtual course in which the first and second class clubs will be gathered in the next two weeks through the "FIFA 2020" electronic game.
With the competition stalled due to the outbreak of the new Corona virus, which led to the death of more than 20 thousand people around the world and forced more than three billion people to stay in their homes, the League decided to revive the atmosphere of competition across the virtual world.
Twenty-six clubs out of 36 from the first and second ranks will participate in a tournament called "The Bundesliga Home Challenge" (Home Bundesliga Challenge), where each "team" will consist of a professional player and a member of the technical staff, to start on March 28.
The matches will be broadcast on Saturday and Sunday via a channel on the "YouTube" site, usually dedicated to another virtual competition under the name "Virtual Bondsliga".
The competition has been organized since the year 2012, and it was collecting teams for electronic games belonging to the clubs, and its final match was scheduled to take place at the end of the week, before it was also suspended due to restrictions on movement and gatherings in the efforts to combat the spread of the Corona virus.
