Despite the storm warning for North Rhine-Westphalia, Borussia Dortmund assumes that the Europa League home match against Glasgow Rangers can take place.
“We know that schools in NRW will be closed tomorrow. But as of now we are not aware of anything like that,” club spokesman Daniel Stolpe said on Wednesday about a possible match cancellation. “We are keeping a close eye on the situation and are in communication with UEFA and our organisation department. “
Gusts of up to 120 kilometres per hour are expected in NRW on Thursday. According to the German Weather Service, people in the north and east of the state should stay inside if possible. School lessons will be cancelled throughout NRW on Thursday.
BVB will face Glasgow Rangers in the first leg of the Europa League knockout round play-offs from 6.45pm. “We are hoping for a storm warning on the pitch,” said the spokesman.
