The stadium hosting the Germany-Netherlands soccer match has been evacuated and the game has been canceled.

Police had earlier sealed off the stadium after finding a suspicious suitcase.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and several cabinet ministers were expected to attend the match, which comes four days after the terrorist attacks in Paris.

Germany was playing France in a friendly match during the attacks. Suicide bombers sought unsuccessfully to enter the Stade de France and blew themselves up outside.
