Bayern Munich’s game with Union Berlin called off due to snow
MUNICH, Germany: Bayern Munich’s home game against Union Berlin was called off Saturday because of heavy snowfall. Cold weather, snowfall and ice have caused transport chaos in Munich and southern Germany. “It was decided not to play the game because of the security risks for all involved,” Union said in a statement 5½ hours before the Bundesliga game was due to start. The German soccer federation said that stadium management had made the decision not to host the game “due to persistent heavy snowfall.” It came after a winter storm dumped snow across southern Germany and parts of Austria and Switzerland, affecting travel across the region. “We very much regret that we have to postpone the match, but the safety of our fans and the supporters of Union Berlin has absolute priority,” said Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen, who referred to the “numerous road closures and various public transport cancelations.” Flight operations at Munich airport were canceled until 6 a.m. Sunday, and numerous railway lines around Munich had to be closed.
