This coming Saturday, FC Red Bull Salzburg's women's team was scheduled to host last season's double winners from Vienna as part of matchday 13 of the ADMIRAL Frauen Bundesliga.

Austria Vienna were due to play away at Benfica in the Women's Champions League on Wednesday evening. However, the European clash had to be postponed to Thursday due to a severe weather warning in the Portuguese capital.

As a result, playing against Salzburg less than 48 hours after the final whistle in Lisbon is out of the question.

New date likely not until the new year

Both teams must now begin the search for an alternative date. According to Salzburg, Austria rejected rescheduling the match for Sunday. The Viennese side will return to Austria later than planned and already face FC Bayern Munich the following Thursday.

With Austria also needing to catch up on their postponed matchday two fixture against SCR Altach after the international break, finding a date for the match against Salzburg seems unlikely until the new year.
