UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany city guide: Düsseldorf
With Düsseldorf's Merkur Spiel-Arena set to host games at UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany, get clued up on the stadium and the city in our guides.
Stadium: Merkur Spiel-Arena
Düsseldorf's Merkur Spiel-Arena is a fine example of the top-class stadiums that can be found around Germany, even in the second tier. Although it didn't host group games at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the 54,600-seater arena will be a venue at Euro 2024, while Fortuna made a sensational announcement in April 2022 that fans will be able to attend home games free of charge, with the club's sponsors making up for the shortfall in matchday revenue.
Previously known as the LTU Arena and Esprit Arena, the Merkur has also hosted several Wladimir Klitschko boxing bouts, countless concerts, the Eurovision Song Contest and the 2010 Race of Champions, which featured Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel.
