Mutual gesture for peace – DFL and DFB recommend minute’s silence

16 October 2023 – To commemorate the victims after the terrible events in Israel, the DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga is recommending that a minute’s silence be held at the upcoming Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 matchday (20–22 October).

This recommendation is made in coordination with the German Football Association (DFB), which has similar plans for DFB competitions, such as the 3. Liga and the Women’s Bundesliga, which take place on the same weekend.

The DFL and DFB wish to take a unified position that calls for peace.
