Soeder told radio station B5 on Monday that everyone should think “carefully” before attending the game. “I really have stomach ache when it comes to the Super Cup,” Soeder said.

The game is taking place in Budapest, Hungary, a city which is considered a risk area for coronavirus infections by German health authorities.

For now anyone who has been abroad in a risk area for less than 48 hours doesn’t have to be in a two-week quarantine at home.

Europe’s ruling football UEFA is sticking to its plan to host the Super Cup final at the Puskas Arena on Thursday and in front of fans. Both clubs were allowed to sell 3,000 tickets to their fans as 30 per cent of the 67,000 stadium capacity will be used.

Around 2,100 Bayern fans are expected to be travelling to Budapest in order to support their team.

Due the increasing number of coronavirus infections in Munich, no spectators were allowed at Bayern’s Bundesliga opener against Schalke at the Allianz Arena on Friday, after originally 7,500 were permitted to attend.

Germany’s Health Minister Jens Spahn praised that decision and has not ruled out similar short-term steps in the future.

“The city of Munich has done the right thing,” Spahn told the Rheinischen Post on Monday.

“As bitter as it may be for the fans and the football atmosphere: if the regional numbers are increasing, no fans should be allowed in the stadiums.”
