The event, which will take place on 11 October, has been given the green light by local authorities to accommodate fans with the help of stringent safety measures that will include masks, social distancing and contactless ticketing. The Ahrweiler district administration announced the news on Monday.
Tickets will be available online and will allow precise contact tracing.
