New Tivoli: Aachen's Modern Football Arena
Experience the electric atmosphere of Alemannia Aachen at the modern New Tivoli stadium, a hub for football and sports in Aachen.
New Tivoli, often called the 'new Tivoli' to distinguish it from its predecessor, is a prominent football stadium located in Aachen's Sportpark Soers. It officially opened on August 17, 2009, marking a new chapter for Alemannia Aachen, the local football club. The stadium was built to replace the aging old Tivoli, which no longer met modern standards. The decision to build the stadium in Sportpark Soers, close to the original location, was made after fans protested an initial proposal to construct it near the airport outside the city. Construction began in 2008 and was completed in just over a year. The stadium boasts a capacity of 32,920, including standing and seated areas, creating an electric atmosphere during matches. For international games, the seating capacity is adjusted to 27,250. The New Tivoli offers modern amenities, including executive suites and a multi-story car park. Besides hosting Alemannia Aachen matches, the stadium has also been a venue for games featuring various German national teams. While primarily a football venue, the stadium also serves as a landmark in the Sportpark Soers, contributing to Aachen's sporting identity.
