SC Freiburg

SC Freiburg are the model sustainable club in German football. The Europa-Park Stadion, opened in 2021, is one of the most modern grounds in the Bundesliga. It is powered by solar panels on the roof, with excellent sightlines from every seat and a design that channels noise inward. It replaced the beloved Dreisamstadion, and the new ground has maintained the intimate atmosphere that defines Freiburg.

Freiburg sits in the southwest corner of Germany, at the edge of the Black Forest and close to the French and Swiss borders. It is consistently voted one of Germany's most liveable cities: sunny, compact, cycling-friendly, and with a laid-back university-town atmosphere that is instantly appealing. The Altstadt (old town) and the daily farmers' market at Münsterplatz are highlights.

Tickets at Freiburg are among the easiest to get in the Bundesliga. The club is known for welcoming visitors, and the matchday experience is friendly and family-oriented. For a first Bundesliga trip, Freiburg is an excellent low-pressure option with a guaranteed good atmosphere.
