Getting to the stadium

The gates for the away section of the Commerzbank Arena are at the south-east part of the stadium. For security reasons, travelling supporters will not be able to pass by the WEST part of the stadium. 

By car

Fans arriving by car can use the Waldparkplatz and Isenburger Schneise car parks near the stadium and the E2 and E3 entrances can be easily reached from there.

There will be a shuttle bus from Alte Oper Opernplatz 1 60313 Frankfurt am Main to the stadium.

The service will also operate after the game to allow fans to return to the city centre.

Considering that space is limited at the car parks near the stadium, we strongly recommend making use of this service.

For fans travelling by bus, exit at Parkplatz P 9 on Mörfelder Landstraße. Gate E2 of the stadium is easily reached from here.

By train

Supporters arriving at Hauptbahnhof can continue on the S-Bahn (S7, S8 and S9 lines) to the Stadion station.

The away section consists of sectors 19, 20 and 21.

As always, there will be security checks for all fans at the stadium by the turnstiles. Small rucksacks and bags (maximum capacity of 20 litres) can be taken in as can small cameras (up to 20x12x12cm).

Gates will open two hours before kick-off at 16:55 CET.
