Bayern’s Bundesliga game against Union Berlin, originally scheduled for 15:30 CET on Saturday, 2 December at the Allianz Arena, has been postponed due to heavy snow overnight. The snowfall is also not forecast to end until Saturday evening.
Even if it had been possible to get the pitch at the Allianz Arena in a condition that would have allowed the match to go ahead by the afternoon, safety risks and the traffic situation made cancellation unavoidable. Snow falling from the roof at the Allianz Arena poses an incalculable risk for spectators. In addition, it is almost impossible to get to the stadium. Countless buses and trains are cancelled, many roads and motorways are completely closed, the underground line U6, which runs to Fröttmaning and the Allianz Arena, has been suspended. The Munich police recommend that people do not leave their homes. Under these conditions, it cannot be guaranteed that the necessary security personnel will be able to reach the Allianz Arena.
FC Bayern will provide information on the rescheduling of the match as soon as a new date has been agreed with the German Football League (DFL). Tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled match.
CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen: "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. In addition, access to the Allianz Arena is not guaranteed due to numerous road closures and various public transport cancellations. We will inform you about a possible new date as soon as possible."
