The DFB has announced that it has cancelled the DFB-Pokal game of FC Bayern on Friday at Bremer SV. The cancellation was officially ordered due to quarantine measures for the host club. The DFB will decide on the rescheduling of the game in coordination with both clubs as soon as possible. In addition, the draw for the 2nd main round has to be postponed due to the allocation of both clubs to different lottery pots.
