Bayer Leverkusen demands from the German Football Association to admit fans to the cup final.

Managing Director Carro told the "Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger" that the DFB was expecting a hygiene concept so that at least some of the fans could be there. He would like 5,000 spectators per club to be admitted. This could make the cup final “a good test for next season”. Of course, politics has to decide. But for the authorities to agree, a good concept must first be presented to them, Carro emphasized. Bayer Leverkusen is ready to support the DFB in this task.

The cup final against Bayern Munich will take place on July 4th in Berlin's Olympic Stadium.
