UEFA monitoring storms which could affect Germany-Portugal semifinal in Nations League

By Canadian Press on June 4, 2025.

MUNICH (AP) — UEFA says the Nations League semifinal between Germany and Portugal is still scheduled to go ahead Wednesday despite warnings of possible storms in Munich.

European soccer’s governing body said it “continues to monitor the meteorological situation closely along with the relevant local authorities” and recommended that fans heading to the game should allow for extra travel time and dress appropriately.

“The match is planned to go ahead as scheduled and any updates will be communicated to ticket holders directly,” UEFA said.

The German national team’s account on X issued a similar warning to fans to allow plenty of time for travel to the stadium and to bring raincoats, ponchos or small umbrellas because of the risk of “adverse weather conditions.”

Germany’s national weather service has warned of the risk of storms, high winds and hail late Wednesday in the state of Bavaria, where Munich is the capital.

France plays Spain in the other semifinal in Stuttgart on Thursday.
