UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany city guide: Frankfurt
With Frankfurt's Deutsche Bank Park set to host games at UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany, get clued up on the stadium and the city in our guides.
Stadium: Deutsche Bank Park/Waldstadion
Deutsche Bank Park - as it's been known since 2020 - was built at on the site of Frankfurt's previous Waldstadion, which had stood since in 1925, at a cost of €126 million between 2002 and 2005 with a capacity of 58,000 (9,300 standing). As you might expect, no detail was too small and it is kitted out with (among others): a retractable roof, a 30-ton video cube that hangs over the centre circle, and a rain-water recycling system that covers almost 100 percent of water usage in the stadium's toilets and restrooms.
In addition to hosting football matches - including men's and women's internationals - Eintracht's home also regularly stages other major sporting and musical events. Two NFL games were played in Germany’s financial capital in November 2023, while U2, The Rolling Stones, Depeche Mode and Bruce Springsteen have all performed here, and heavyweight boxer Wladimir Klitschko successfully defended there his world title in 2010. After the end of the Euros, Rammstein are performing there for three nights.
