Hansa Rostock's Match Against Unterhaching Postponed Due to Safety Concerns
The game was called off after Unterhaching's stadium was deemed unsafe, with no direct link to recent fan violence.
- The scheduled 3rd division match between Hansa Rostock and SpVgg Unterhaching on Sunday has been postponed after Unterhaching's stadium was closed by local authorities due to an inadequate safety plan.
- The municipality of Unterhaching determined that the security measures previously approved for the venue were no longer sufficient, citing safety risks in and around the stadium.
- Hansa Rostock's management and local police clarified that the decision was not directly related to recent fan violence during Hansa's match against Dynamo Dresden, which resulted in 51 injuries.
- The German Football Association (DFB) was surprised by the stadium closure and stated that relocating the match to a neutral venue on short notice was not feasible.
- Both the DFB and Hansa Rostock are reviewing the legal implications of the decision, and a new date for the match has yet to be announced.
