Overview
- The DFB announced on Tuesday that standing‑room (Stehplatz) tickets will return for men's, women's and U21 home internationals, ending more than 25 years without standing areas at some national matches.
- Stehplatztickets will be offered at the upcoming Nations League home games for Jürgen Klopp's home debut on 27 September in Augsburg and the match on 1 October in Munich.
- Public ticket sales for those matches start 18 August with prices set at €18 for regular standing tickets and €15 for Fan Club Nationalmannschaft members, while fan‑club members get earlier access.
- The decision follows UEFA's extension and expansion of a standing‑seats observation program first tested in 2022/23, which allowed national associations to reintroduce controlled standing areas for 2026/27.
- The DFB says the number of standing places will be set per stadium and opponent for safety and operational reasons, a move meant to boost match atmosphere and keep attendances more affordable for supporters.
