Werder–HSV Women’s Nordderby Breaks Werder Attendance Record as ARD Picks Live Slot

The broadcast spotlight reflects a rapid rise in interest that Werder channels into rare, carefully planned showcase matches.

Overview

  • More than 31,000 tickets were sold by Friday, surpassing Werder’s previous women’s home record of 22,721, with a 38,000 crowd marking a sellout at the Weserstadion.
  • This is the clubs’ first meeting in the women’s Bundesliga, following a March cup semi-final in Hamburg that drew about 57,000 spectators.
  • ARD will show the game live on free-to-air TV from 17:40 CET, with streams on sportschau.de, while MagentaSport and DAZN are also carrying the match.
  • Head coach Friederike “Fritzy” Kromp, making her first sideline appearance at the Weserstadion, called the national broadcast a great honor and outlined mental preparation for the atypically large crowd.
  • Werder’s women’s chief Birte Brüggemann highlighted the family-focused atmosphere and said the club will use the big stadium only for select fixtures to avoid financial losses.
