The international match of the German national soccer team on March 31 in Nuremberg against Italy has been canceled. The city of Nuremberg has prohibited the classic from being staged and is thus ensuring clear conditions at an early stage. The city informed the German Football Association (DFB) of the decision prohibiting the game from being played. Accordingly, events with more than 100 people are now prohibited in Nuremberg, as the DFB confirmed in a message.

Most recently, an international match by the DFB team was canceled on November 17, 2015, when the police had been informed of a possible explosive attack a few hours before the kick-off in Hanover against the Netherlands. Four days earlier, terrorist attacks had taken place in Paris during the international match between Germany and France.
Fifa recommends postponing the caps
In addition, in view of the corona crisis, the world football association Fifa recommends that clubs be stopped if the scheduled matches are postponed during the upcoming international break. The game of the DFB selection in Madrid against Spain is actually scheduled for March 26. In the past few days, several Bundesliga clubs had already declared that they would not let their players go to their national teams.

“Fifa believes that hosting the games under the current circumstances not only poses a potential health risk, but also undermines the integrity of the competition because some teams cannot compete with their best team,” said the World Association.
The EURO 2020 would also be affected by a possible cancellation, although it may be canceled or postponed in the coming week. On Tuesday, Uefa wants to consult with the 55 member states. The playoff games for the pan-European tournament are scheduled for March 26th and 31st. The Bundesliga and other European leagues hope to be able to start playing again after the international break.
