Mainz-Union Bundesliga tie postponed after heavy snow
Friday’s Bundesliga match between Mainz and Union Berlin has been postponed due to safety concerns after heavy snowfall, the German Football League (DFL) announced on Thursday.
The DFL said the postponement of the game in Mainz’s Mewa Arena was due to “heavy ice formation on the lower tiers, especially in the standing area, as well as on the arrival routes” which created “associated safety risks for spectators”.
The DFL said a new date would be announced for the match soon.
