SV Werder Bremen’s friendly against FC Groningen, due to kick off at 17:00 CEST in Delmenhorst on Saturday July 21st, has been cancelled. “At short notice, the authorities have decided that the game cannot be allowed to go ahead due to security concerns. We apologise wholeheartedly to all the fans who wanted to see the team once more before the start of the competitive season, but unfortunately in this case, our hands are tied. We would also like to thank SV Atlas Delmenhorst, who took the news of the cancellation with understanding,” explained Clemens Fritz, head of professional football and scouting at the club.

All fans who had already bought tickets for the game can receive a refund by returning the tickets to the place they purchased them.

As a result of the cancellation, the kick-off time of our other friendly against FC Emmen has been changed. This fixture will now kick off at 17:00 CEST and is being played behind closed doors at Stadion Platz 12 in Bremen. The game can still be followed by anyone who wishes to watch; thanks to our partner EWE, the match is being streamed live on our official YouTube channel and WERDER.TV.
