The home stadium of the football club Eintracht Frankfurt, it was opened in 1925. The stadium has been upgraded several times since then; the most recent remodelling was its redevelopment as a football-only stadium in preparation for the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup and 2006 FIFA World Cup. With a capacity of 58,000 spectators for league matches, it is the seventh largest football stadium in Germany. The stadium was one of the nine venues of 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, and hosted four matches including the final. It also hosted five matches of the UEFA Euro 2024.

Stadium from the air (2017)

The sports complex, which is owned by the city of Frankfurt, includes the actual stadium and other sports facilities, including a swimming pool, a tennis complex, a beach volleyball court and a winter sports hall. The arena has its own railway station, Frankfurt Stadion, on the national rail network.

In 2023, it hosted two regular season National Football League (NFL) American football games as part of the NFL Germany Games.^[5]

History

First stadium

The original stadium was opened on 21 May 1925, after four years of construction, its total cost having been 3.7 million marks (equivalent to €14 million today).^{[citation needed]} The site of a former military shooting range was chosen as the location of the sports park, which also included a fairground and integrated cycling and swimming stadium was designed. The stadium had a capacity of 35,000 spectators.^{[citation needed]} The grandstands consisted mainly of earthworks, including the former bullet trap for the south grandstand. Only the grandstand on the north side was made of reinforced concrete and had a facade modeled on an ancient Greek theater.

The Waldstadion's first major national event was the final of the German football championship on June 7, 1925. 1. FC Nürnberg defeated local club FSV Frankfurt 1:0. Between 24 and 28 July 1925, the Waldstadion hosted the 1925 Workers' Summer Olympiad.^[6] The football final between Germany and Finland was played in front of a crowd of 40,000 spectators.^[7] In 1937, the spectator capacity through expansion of the back straight was increased to 55,000.^{[citation needed]}

The first modification and the introduction of the Bundesliga

The first major changes to the stadium were made following a game between Eintracht Frankfurt and 1. FC Nürnberg in May 1953. Almost 70,000 tickets were sold for a stadium envisioned for only 55,000 spectators, and 200 fans were injured as thousands tried to force entry.^{[citation needed]}

The renovated and enlarged Waldstadion was reopened on 14 May 1955 after 19 months of construction work. The stadium once more hosted national team matches as well as some^[vague] important^{[according to whom?]} games for Eintracht Frankfurt, who reached the final round of the German National Championships in 1959. During the run to the final, 81,000 watched Eintracht beat FK Pirmasens – an attendance record that still stands.^{[citation needed]}

In December 1960, an ice rink was opened within the oval of the velodrome. Here, the ice hockey team of Eintracht Frankfurt played their home games until 1981. In 1960 the stadium was given floodlights.^{[citation needed]}

The first Bundesliga game in the Waldstadion took place on 24 August 1963 – a 1–1 draw with 1. FC Kaiserslautern on the first day of the new German national league.^{[citation needed]}

The stadium hosted the World Championships in track cycling in 1966 and the heavyweight boxing championship between Muhammad Ali and Karl Mildenberger on 10 September 1966, won by Ali with a knockout in the 12th round in front of 22,000 spectators.^{[citation needed]}

Second reconstruction

The second major renovation of the Waldstadion was needed for the 1974 FIFA World Cup. From May 1972 to January 1974, the stadium was rebuilt virtually from scratch^[tone] to meet the comfort and safety requirements of the World Cup venues. The opening ceremony of the 1974 World Cup was held at the Waldstadion.^{[citation needed]}

In 1978, improved drainage and undersoil heating were installed.^{[citation needed]}

The first final of the newly introduced Women's European Cup was held at the stadium in May 2002, and the home team of 1. FFC Frankfurt beat Swedish side Umeå IK 2–0 to lift the trophy.^{[citation needed]}

Current stadium

Current usage

Interior view during a Bundesliga match

The new Waldstadion is primarily designed as a football stadium, but can be used for other turf sports like American football and major events. The grandstand offers rooms that are for meetings, conventions and other events in external markets.

The renovated stadium was officially opened at the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup, the test run for the 2006 World Cup. Both the opening match (Germany 4–3 Australia) and the final (Brazil 4–1 Argentina) were hosted at the stadium.^{[citation needed]}

Football

The main user of the stadium is the football team Eintracht Frankfurt, which has used the stadium as its home base since 1963.^{[citation needed]}

In addition, the stadium also serves occasionally as an alternative venue for home games of other teams: 1. FSV Mainz 05 played their qualifying matches for the 2005–06 UEFA Cup against the Armenian representatives Mika and against Keflavík ÍF from Iceland and for the 1st Round proper against Sevilla FC in the Commerzbank Arena.^[8]

The women of the local football team 1. FFC Frankfurt defeated Umeå IK 3–2 in the stadium on 24 May 2008 in the final second leg of UEFA Women's Cup, winning the European Cup for the third time and setting up a record for women's club football of 27,500 spectators.^{[citation needed]}

The Turkish Football Federation has also staged several games in the arena, as Turks form a significant ethnic minority in Germany.^{[citation needed]} Beşiktaş won the Turkish Super Cup with a 1–0 win over Galatasaray.^{[citation needed]} Due to the suspension by UEFA of the Turkish national stadium, the qualifying matches for UEFA Euro 2008 against Malta (final score 2–0 to Turkey), against Moldova (5–0 for the Turks) and against Norway (final score 2–2) were also played here.^{[citation needed]}

American football

An ice hockey game in the arena

The Waldstadion from 1991 to 2007, with a few interruptions,^[vague] was home stadium for the NFL Europa's Frankfurt Galaxy American football team. The stadium hosted the World Bowl '98, World Bowl 2000 and World Bowl XV in 2007.^{[citation needed]}

Since 2008, the ground has hosted the final of the German Bowl and the final match of the German Football League. An average of around 15,000 fans watched the 2008 and 2009 finals.^{[citation needed]}

The NFL planned for two regular season games to be played in the stadium in 2023 and 2025, as part of the league's International Series.^[9] The 2023 matchups featured the Kansas City Chiefs playing the Miami Dolphins on November 5, which the Kansas City Chiefs won 21–14; and the New England Patriots playing the Indianapolis Colts on November 12, which the Indianapolis Colts won 10–6.

Naming rights

Exterior view (2007), with old Commerzbank arena logo

As part of a naming sponsorship by Commerzbank AG, the Waldstadion was renamed the Commerzbank-Arena on 1 May 2005 for ten years. Commerzbank agreed to pay around €30 million to the city hosting company as part of the deal. During the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup and the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the stadium was officially referred to as the FIFA World Cup Stadium Frankfurt, as FIFA rules do not permit commercial naming of stadia.^[44]

Commerzbank allowed the sponsorship contract to expire on June 30, 2020, after 15 years.^[45] The new name sponsor as of July 1, 2020 is Deutsche Bank, with whom a contract has been concluded until June 30, 2027, with an option to extend.^[46] Since July 1, 2020, the stadium is officially called Deutsche Bank Park.^[47]
