Free entrance for up to 4,000 fans | Ticket booking required!

As with the recent match against Argentina, two large LED screens (36 m² each) will be set up next to the pitch for the public viewing, with the West Stand serving as the spectator area. Additionally, the match will be broadcast on the stadium's two main screens (92 m² each) to ensure more fans have a view of the action.

Admission is free. However, for organisational reasons, a free admission ticket must be booked in advance via our Ticket Shop. Tickets are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, with a free choice of seats at the stadium. A maximum of two tickets can be booked per person.

Limited capacity for an ideal event

To allow more people to attend the event, capacity has been increased to 4,000 - and the organisation and infrastructure have been adjusted accordingly.

Visibility of the two LED screens (or the two stadium screens) is guaranteed for this number of fans. Seating within the stadium is unreserved. We therefore strongly recommend arriving early to secure the best spots, as some areas may have restricted views.

To ensure a fair experience for everyone, we recommend arriving together. Unfortunately, it is not possible to save seats for others. Please note: entry is not possible without a ticket booked online in advance!

Doors open at 19:00 CEST via the West II entrance.

Kick-off is at 21:00 CEST - the match will also be broadcast live on ServusTV and ServusTV On.

Catering

Food and drink will be available. Our new kiosk provider foodaffairs will offer their new selection of food and beverages.

Please note: Only cashless payment is accepted at the stadium concession stands. All major credit and debit cards are accepted. You can find further information on cashless payment and everything related to our Arena HERE.

You can reach the stadium via the usual routes: parking is available at the stadium car park and there are good public transport connections as well as bicycle parking facilities. No additional shuttle services or off-site parking areas are provided.
