In addition to hail and lightning, this is the unfortunate reason why the Germany vs Denmark match was postponed…

Ahead of the Germany-Denmark match, meteorologist Dominik Jung told BILD: "From June 29 to 30, there is a risk of severe thunderstorms from the southwest and west to central Germany. This could cause very heavy rain, up to 40 to 80 liters per square meter in a few hours. Large hailstones of about 3 cm in diameter, as well as storms with speeds of 100 to 140 km/h, plus tornadoes, are also possible."

Unfortunately, Mr. Dominik Jung's predictions came true. The match between Germany and Denmark at Signal Indunal Park was delayed for nearly 10 minutes after the 35th minute.

According to UEFA's announcement, weather problems were the cause. "The Signal Iduna Park stadium experienced heavy rain and continuous thunder and lightning. The safety of the players must be given top priority and therefore the match was postponed," UEFA wrote on its homepage.

Thunder...

Hail

ITV reporters at the stadium described: “The rain was pouring down the stairs. Lightning was constantly appearing and causing panic among the fans present. So when a large bolt of lightning struck just above the pitch, referee Michael Oliver stopped the match and asked everyone to leave the pitch. The supervisor was informed and agreed to this plan.”

Next, ITV channel also reported the atmosphere in the tunnel: “Players of both teams sat in the tunnel. Everyone was in a quite comfortable mood and waiting for the next developments. Some people quickly found towels to dry themselves. Some other players even asked to change their shirts. Meanwhile, fans sitting in the low rows got wet and had to find shelter. Water poured down from the roof of the stadium. We could imagine it was like being at Old Trafford (England)”.

The match was postponed but fans had a chance to celebrate.

In addition to the weather, European media reported that the match was postponed due to the deterioration of the Signal Indunal Park stadium. Accordingly, the Signal Iduna Park stadium is "50 years old" and has many areas with damaged roofs. Heavy rain caused these areas to leak like waterfalls. Not only was the roof leaking, the field surface could not drain the water fast enough and greatly affected the match.

Signal Iduna Park is in serious disrepair.

The drainage of the yard is problematic.

The stadium staff had to work at full speed.
