Overview
- The DFL plans to amend its match regulations so stoppage time is visible on stadium video boards until the final whistle.
- Under the proposal, the main clock would still stop at 45:00 and 90:00, with additional time displayed separately to improve transparency for spectators.
- A DFL spokesman said the change is contingent on approval by the league’s membership meeting in December and would take effect on January 1, 2026 if passed.
- The DFB announced a new central oversight body to review stadium-ban procedures, while local commissions would continue to issue bans.
- Recent security talks among government, police, DFB, DFL and fan representatives examined measures such as ticket personalization and away-fan allocations, as the DFB cites police data to describe German stadiums as safe.
