Niedersachsenstadion Schedule

Did You Know?

The AWD-Arena is a football stadium located in Hanover, Germany.

The redevelopments transformed it completely into a football arena and removed approximately 70% of the previous building.

However, due to FIFA sponsorship contracts, the arena had to officially be called FIFA World Cup Stadium Hanover (FIFA WM Stadion Hannover) during the World Cup.

In addition, the upper rank of the west grandstand was completely roofed.

This necessitated the stands behind the goals be designed in such a way that the upward gradient becomes larger gradually from west to east, creating a rather peculiar asymmetry, as the original west grandstand possessed such small angles of inclination and the new east grandstand was as constructed as steeply as possible.The new inner roof was constructed using ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) to allow sunlight through and thus allow the grass the grow naturally, whilst also protecting all spectators from bad weather [1].

The first football match held following the redevelopment was on January 23, 2005, where Hannover 96 lost 0-3 to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.In June 2008, it hosted the 2008 Hannover Sevens, the European Sevens championship in rugby union.On November 15, 2009, the stadium was filled to capacity as the funeral site for 32 year old Hannover 96 goalkeeper Robert Enke, who took his own life on November 10, 2009.
