DFL Cancels Werder–Hoffenheim Match Over Severe Ice and Snow

A new date will follow after transport disruptions left evacuation routes at Weserstadion unsafe.

Overview

  • The Bundesliga fixture in Bremen was slated for Saturday at 17:30 MSK before the league called it off.
  • The DFL made the decision Friday after consultations with both clubs, the stadium operator, and local authorities.
  • Officials cited severe icing on internal walkways, spectator areas, and transport zones, plus large snowdrifts restricting stadium access.
  • Safety requirements for evacuation and rescue routes could not be guaranteed, and fan travel could not be assured due to regional rail and road disruptions.
  • A prior weather-related cancellation also scrubbed St. Pauli vs. Leipzig in Hamburg, while Werder sit 10th on 17 points and Hoffenheim 5th on 27 after 15 rounds.
