6 August 2021 – The Bundesliga, too, is planning a joint campaign for the first matchday. The plan is for the players to walk onto the pitch with the right sleeves of their shirts rolled up. This is intended as a way for clubs to raise awareness of the importance of vaccinations in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. Bundesliga 2 already performed this gesture on the second matchday. The Bundesliga season kicks off on Friday 13 August.
