Season start re-scheduled
VfB Stuttgart’s home game on the first match day of the 50th Bundesliga season has now been officially re-scheduled by the DFL – moving the game from Sunday, August 26th at 3:30pm to Saturday, August 25th at 8:45pm. The German Football League reacted to VfB’s plea to have the game moved due to the travel issues concerning their UEFA Europa League play-off return leg away to Dynamo Moscow on the following Tuesday.
Thanks to Wolfsburg and SKY
The re-scheduling allows Bruno Labbadia’s side more time to regenerate and prepare for the Europa League play off clash away to Russian side Dynamo Moscow.
“We are very happy that this exceptional solution has been found and we are very thankful to the DFL for this. Without the agreement of VfL Wolfsburg and the broadcasting television channel, this wouldn’t have been possible,” explained VfB sport director Fredi Bobic and added: “We would like to take this opportunity to thank those responsible at VfL Wolfsburg, above all Felix Magath, for maintaining the integrity of solidarity amongst clubs in the league. SKY television also deserves great praise, particularly sport boss Carsten Schmidt. Throughout the discussion, they were always eager to provide a good and sensible solution for both parties.”
