Overview
- Unsere Kurve renewed its call for all matches on the penultimate matchday to kick off at the same time across the Bundesliga, 2. Bundesliga and 3. Liga.
- The current penultimate round remains spread from Friday to Sunday, while only the final matchday uses full simultaneous kickoffs.
- The fan alliance argues that teams playing later can adjust to rivals’ results, which they say undermines equal chances and undercuts fan culture.
- In the Bundesliga, the group points to Eintracht Frankfurt at Borussia Dortmund on Friday before SC Freiburg visit Hamburger SV on Sunday, a sequence it says could hand Freiburg a clear target for a European place.
- It highlighted similar setups in the lower tiers, citing SV Elversberg’s Sunday game after Paderborn and Hannover play in the 2. Bundesliga and MSV Duisburg’s Friday match ahead of 3. Liga rivals.
