Soccer - Union on their way home after the match was called off
Following the cancellation of FC Bayern Munich 's Bundesliga home match against 1. FC Union Berlin, the team from Köpenick immediately set off on their journey home. "We are now all on our way home to Berlin together," the club announced on Saturday. The match had to be canceled due to the weather chaos in southern Germany. "Even if it had been possible to get the pitch at the Allianz Arena in a condition that would have allowed the match to take place by the afternoon, safety risks and the traffic situation made a cancellation unavoidable," the record champions' statement read.
As flight operations at Munich Airport and train services to and from Munich Central Station had been suspended, the return journey had to be organized spontaneously. "Buses, cars and minibuses" were available as means of transportation for the team from the bottom of the table. The award ceremony for Berlin's Sportsmen of the Year will take place in the evening. Union have won the last three champions' awards.
