The city of Nuremberg, which is due to host a friendly between Germany and Italy on March 31, asked Thursday for the fixture to be called off due to concerns over the coronavirus.
"According to what we know today, the city of Nuremberg is going to request a cancellation of the match," a local health and environment official said during a news conference.
"A lot of supporters would be expected including those from at-risk zones in the north of Italy."
