"Neither FC (Köln) or us can understand the short notice given," said Thomas Eichin, Director of Professional Teams, who is also responsible for the Bayer 04 Women’s team: "In between the two important games against Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg, this date is not in the spirit of sensible training management and it increases the risk of injury to our players. Once again, we grudgingly accept this judgement."
Due to the increasingly failing light, referee Annika Kost decided the match could not continue after 36 minutes of play on Sunday. After an hour of waiting and a number of unsuccessful attempts to restore the floodlight, the decision was made to abandon the match.
The rearranged match will start from the first minute with the score at 0-0. The tickets from 5 October remain valid, further tickets are available HERE from the FC Köln online shop and from the matchday ticket office. Block H and the away standing area are available to Werkself fans.
