Freiburg success to kill Dreisamstadion?

SC Freiburg’s cindarella season may end up ruining the home of the club as club president hails to build modern stadium. We talked to Ralf and Marc from the Freiburg fan scene.

A few weeks prior to the launch of the Against Modern Football magazine one club came to our attention. A small club with an even smaller budget in the German top division, The Bundesliga, where having a laugh with the big boys. SC Freiburg from the southwestern region Baden-Württemberg  of Germany where battling for European Cup tickets all through the season. However the club success wasn’t all glamour as we discovered when we met up with Marc and Ralf from Natural Born Ultras.

UEFA to rule out charming stadiums

The pride of SC Freiburg and the home of their supporters is the 58th year old Dreisamstadion which has a capacity of 24.000 – the lowest of the 1st Bundesliga. However their beloved stadium could be an issue if the club would make it’s first qualification in 10 years.

“The problem is that the pitch is too short, so we either has to rebuild the stadium (to make space for the pitch) or build a new stadium”, says Ralf and continues to explain the possible scenario: “For our first qualifying match we would get a dispensation, but the second match would have to be played somewhere else.” To make matters worse SCF could be forced to play their European matches at Wildparkstadion, home of their arch rivals Karlsruher SC.
