The professional teams and the RB Leipzig U19 team will be wearing mourning shirts at their matches this weekend. As the club announced, this is a sign of remembrance and solidarity with the victims, their families and all those affected by the rampage in Leipzig city center. There will also be a minute's silence before kick-off. "RB Leipzig is thus sending a joint, silent signal of sympathy and solidarity in our city," the club wrote.
