The draft agreement in Germany that we’ve just reported on could also see professional football resume this month.
The Bundesliga has been suspended since mid-March but players have been back in training.
Politicians are expected to decide when games can begin in a telephone conference later on Wednesday, with 15 and 21 May possible dates for restarting the competition.
They say restarting play in the first and second divisions to “limit the economic damage” for the 36 clubs is “acceptable”.
A draft document seen by Reuters and AFP news agencies says the start of matches must be preceded by two weeks of quarantine, possibly as a training camp.
Germany has banned large events with crowds until 24 October, so games will be behind closed doors.
