Stadiums

In order to match the club’s growing ambitions following promotion to the Bundesliga, VfL Wolfsburg began to seriously consider building a new stadium in 1997. The VfL-Stadion on Elsterweg - which still hosts VfL Ladies’ reserve team games, among others - no longer met the club’s requirements and, in 2002, the Volkswagen Arena became the Wolves’ new home. The new 30,000-capacity stadium, which is located on In den Allerwiesen, was officially opened on 13 December that same year. Disabled fans needn’t worry about getting a raw deal on matchdays, as accessibility is of paramount importance to the club: as well as 80 wheelchair positions, VfL Wolfsburg also provide 16 seats for visually impaired supporters, who can listen to live commentary during the match. The stadium also includes non-smoking and family areas in order to provide a safe environment for children and to make a visit to the Volkswagen Arena an enjoyable experience for all ages.

Due to its central location, the Volkswagen Arena and adjacent AOK Stadion - home to the VfL Ladies as well as the men’s Under-19 team since early 2015 - are within easy walking distance of Wolfsburg Hauptbahnhof train station and the city’s central bus station.
