The FC St. Gallen's anticipated victory over FC Thun is off the table. The Super League match has been canceled due to heavy snowfall, a decision confirmed by referee Lukas Fähndrich.

The disruption began earlier with significant snowfall in Thun, where FC Thun secured a win. FC Zürich managed to play their match against FC Sion in relatively normal conditions at the Letzigrund stadium, offering a brief glimmer of hope for fans.

However, the weather quickly deteriorated in eastern Switzerland, particularly in St. Gallen. Snow persisted for over an hour before kickoff, rendering the game unplayable. The primary concerns cited by referee Fähndrich were the accumulating snow and the resulting risk of injuries to players.

The forecast indicated continued interruptions, leading to the swift decision to call off the match. This cancellation adds to the challenges of the Super League season, highlighting the unpredictable impact of weather on Swiss football.

The postponement leaves St. Gallen without a game and potentially disrupts their momentum. The league will need to adjust its schedule to accommodate the canceled fixtures.

The decision underscores the inherent risks of outdoor sports, a reality that fans and teams alike must contend with.
