The postponed Bundesliga clash between FC Bayern Munich and 1. FC Union Berlin is set for a future date, specifically January 24, 2024, at 8:30 PM (Sky). Originally slated for last weekend, the match was called off due to harsh weather conditions that posed safety risks for both players and spectators.
Thomas Tuchel's Bayern team will kick off the second half of the season with a home game against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on January 12. The memorable match will provide the team with an opportunity for a brief training camp, contingent on the scheduling of their Union Berlin encounter. The Bundesliga returnants will not face off again until January 21, when they host Werder Bremen at the Allianz Arena.
The rescheduled encounter between Bayern and Union Berlin is generating considerable excitement in both Bavaria and Berlin, as the dynamic Union Berlin squad has been performing impressively in the league. Facing tough opposition with confidence, Tuchel's men will have their work cut out for them.
The decision to reschedule the game to January 24, 2024 was a necessary one, ensuring that the players and fans remained safe in the midst of adverse conditions. In a collaborative agreement, the DFL and both clubs decided on the new date for the game, paving the way for an intriguing exchange at the Allianz Arena.
With the revised calendar in place, Bayern will play two consecutive home matches at their state-of-the-art home ground, first against Hoffenheim on January 12 and then playing host to Union Berlin. The roster may welcome the chance to utilize a short training camp after the Hoffenheim game, but the squad must remain focused on securing crucial points in the highly competitive Bundesliga.
