Berlin: Bundesliga club Werder Bremen have cancelled plans for a US tour, including a match in protest-hit Minneapolis, due in part to "political reasons", a spokesperson told AFP on Saturday.
Bremen were in the process of planning a summer tour which was set to take place in May, with friendlies in Minneapolis and Detroit, before the start of the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico.
But the club will no longer make the trip, saying that doing so would not be consistent with the club's values.
Thousands of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been deployed to Minneapolis in recent weeks as part of an immigration crackdown by US President Donald Trump.
Two American citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were both shot dead in January during mass protests against ICE's presence in the city.
