GHOST GAMES
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👻" title="Ghost" aria-label="Emoji: Ghost"> "Geisterspiele" (ghost games) will, of course, have no crowd but also be missing several "normal" things that usually belong in football.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏" title="Clapping hands sign" aria-label="Emoji: Clapping hands sign"> There will be no child mascots and no hugging, clapping or shaking hands before kick-off.

All players, referees, and TV production employees must be tested for #COVID19 on matchday.

Finally, according to Blick, it is possible that all games could be played in a single stadium with two games on a Saturday and three games on a Sunday.
This would reduce logistical costs and ensure no dependency on regional restrictions such as there were in Ticino.

That is it. The plan is extremely detailed to give Swiss football the best chance to resume play and return to some sense of normality.
"We cannot decide, we are decided," said Heinrich Schifferle, president of the league committee.
That decision will be made very soon.
