Bundesliga - Club spokesman: FC Bayern against Union probably not until 2024
The canceled Bundesliga match between FC Bayern Munich and Union Berlin will probably not be rescheduled until next year. This was confirmed by Union spokesman Christian Arbeit on Radioeins vom rbb at the weekend.
Both teams would have time next week because they are no longer represented in the DFB Cup. However, according to Arbeit, no Bundesliga matches may take place on cup matchdays.
In the following week, Tuesday and Wednesday are blocked by the final group matches in the Champions League. A midweek matchday in the Bundesliga is then planned before Christmas anyway. After that, the short winter break begins.
Date probably in January
The German Football League (DFL) had announced that a catch-up date would be announced soon. A decision is expected at the beginning of the week. A match date in January is likely, as there is no English week at the start of the year.
Due to the weather chaos in the south of Germany, the match between the league's bottom team from Berlin and the record champions was called off. Safety risks due to the extreme snowfall and the traffic situation made cancellation unavoidable, as the runners-up from Munich announced a few hours before the scheduled kick-off.
