Bomb defusal: footballers and runners have to give way

During excavation work at Verdiplatz, an aircraft bomb from the Second World War was discovered and will be defused this Sunday. The entire area within 500 meters of the site of the discovery must be evacuated for several hours in the morning, and residents of other parts of the city are also asked not to leave their houses.

FCS and Virtus games moved forward There is also a strict ban on driving and going out around the Drusus Stadium, which is why FC Südtirol asked days ago to postpone the Serie C game against Gubbio planned for Sunday afternoon. This will take place on Saturday at 15 p.m. The duel between Serie D club Virtus Bozen and Brusaporto has now been scheduled for the same time. This encounter will take place in the Internorm Arena on the Talferwiesen.

Several youth games in the state capital also have to be postponed, but the upper league game between Bozner FC and Anaune is scheduled to take place as planned at 15 p.m. New date for the Bozen City Trail In the red evacuation zone, however, is the start/finish area of the Bozen City Trail, which was planned for Sunday. That's why the organizers have now brought the event forward at short notice by one day to Saturday, October 19th. The starting signal takes place at 14 p.m. at Waltherplatz. “We think we have found a solution that is acceptable to everyone involved,” say the organizers from SC Neugries, the Ökoinstitut Südtirol and the Bozen Tourist Office.

The route also leads over the St. Oswald Promenade above Bolzano.

There is also a short-term change regarding the longest route of the renowned South Tyrolean event. The participants in the Bozen City Trail will complete the run route twice and therefore cover around 30 kilometers and 800 meters of altitude. In addition to the trail and the city run, recreational athletes also have the opportunity to take part in the non-competitive City Enjoy.

The bomb discovered at Verdiplatz not only puts the city administration and road users to the test, but also the organizers of sporting events that were actually planned for next Sunday.
