Third division soccer team FC Hansa Rostock is allowed to let spectators into the stadium for the game against Halle's FC 777.

The state government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania decided on Thursday evening in a special session.

The spectators for the game on Saturday (2 p.m.) must be season ticket holders living in Rostock or from Hansa partner companies.

Rapid tests are carried out in front of the stadium gates, and masking and clearance is mandatory in the stands.

In combination with tests and hygiene rules, the audience in Rostock should use the “Luca” app, which enables uncomplicated tracking of contacts in the event of an infection.

The encounter will be the first game with spectators in German professional football since November 1, 2020.

At that time 450 spectators followed the 3: 4 of Karlsruher SC against SV Darmstadt 98 in the 2nd Bundesliga.

Rostock's low seven-day incidence, which was less than 25 infections per 100,000 inhabitants on Thursday, enables a return.
