Volkswagen Arena

Built beside the Mittellandkanal, the ground is owned by Volkswagen and sits a short walk from the factory gates.

Volkswagen Arena has been the home of VfL Wolfsburg since 2002, and holds 30,000 spectators for football. The playing surface is grass, and the record attendance of 30,000 was set in a fixture that still gets talked about in Wolfsburg.

For a matchday, the ground sits in Wolfsburg and is served by local rail and bus routes; arriving 45 minutes before kick-off is the difference between a queue and a seat. Away supporters are usually housed in one corner block, and the atmosphere is loudest behind the goal at the home end.
