FC Bayern's Bundesliga Outing Against Union Berlin Postponed
Saturday's clash between FC Bayern Munich and Union Berlin in the Bundesliga has been halted due to a severe winter storm. The game, which was initially set for this weekend, might be rescheduled for January, as rumors suggest. The teams involved and the German Football League (DFL) are deep in negotiations regarding the fresh date.
In an interview on Radioeins von rbb, Union Berlin's spokesperson, Christian Arbeit, hinted at the possibility of a January date. However, it's essential to remember that these are just speculations until an official announcement is made.
No DFB Cup for the Teams
Both FC Bayern Munich and Union Berlin do not have any planned DFB Cup matches coming up in the next week, thanks to their current standings. Unfortunately, the league rules do not permit Bundesliga contests to take place during DFB Cup matchdays. This rule was also confirmed by FC Bayern Munich, who organized a public training session for their fans on Tuesday at 10.30 a.m. on their home grounds.
The Champions League commitments are scheduled for the teams in the following week, with both Tuesday and Wednesday reserved for their respective group matches. The league then plans a midweek Bundesliga matchday around Christmas time. After this break, the league will enter a brief winter hiatus.
Weather Woes
The unpleasant weather conditions in southern Germany compelled the cancellation of the Bundesliga match between Union Berlin and FC Bayern Munich. The safety concerns resulting from the heavy snowfall and congested traffic made the situation unmanageable. FC Bayern Munich, the reigning champions, announced the game cancellation earlier due to the safety risks.
