🇩🇪 St. Pauli v RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga called off due to snowstorm

The Bundesliga has officially confirmed the suspension of the match between St. Pauli and RB Leipzig, originally scheduled for this Saturday, January 10. The decision was made due to the extreme weather conditions caused by storm Elli, which is hitting northern Germany and the city of Hamburg particularly hard.

The operator of the Millerntor-Stadion, after holding several consultations with local authorities, has decided to close the facilities completely. The main reason is the massive accumulation of snow and ice throughout the venue, which poses an unacceptable risk to the safety of fans, players, and club staff.

The situation in Hamburg is critical, and emergency services have recommended limiting non-essential travel. The German league organization has prioritized the physical safety of all attendees, given the impossibility of ensuring safe access to the stadium and the normal development of the game on the pitch.

The competition organizers have announced that tickets will remain valid for the new date. In addition, the Bundesliga has stated that a new day and time for the match will be announced immediately once weather conditions improve.
