Match Postponed Due to Weather Conditions
Bundesliga Confirms Suspension
The Bundesliga has officially announced that the match between St. Pauli and RB Leipzig, which was set to take place on Saturday, January 10, has been suspended. This decision comes as a result of severe weather conditions linked to storm Elli, which is significantly impacting northern Germany, particularly the city of Hamburg.
Stadium Closure
Following discussions with local officials, the management of Millerntor-Stadion has opted to completely shut down the facility. The primary concern is the hazardous build-up of snow and ice at the venue, which creates an unacceptable risk for fans, players, and club personnel.
Safety Precautions in Hamburg
The situation in Hamburg has reached a critical point, and emergency services have advised against non-essential travel. The German league administration is focused on ensuring the safety of everyone involved, as they cannot guarantee safe access to the stadium or the proper conduct of the match on the field.
Ticket Information
Organizers of the competition have confirmed that any tickets purchased will be honored for the rescheduled match. Additionally, the Bundesliga will announce a new date and time for the fixture as soon as the weather conditions improve.
