Red Bull Arena

The Red Bull Arena has grown in stature along with its main tenant, RB Leipzig, to become one of Germany's top football grounds. The stadium is built within the old Zentralstadion and marries history with future ambition. It is the largest football stadium in the former East Germany and has also hosted music concerts as well as football.

Opened in 2004, it is the home ground for first-division club RB Leipzig, with FC Sachsen Leipzig having previously used the stadium from its opening until 2009. Due to UEFA sponsorship regulations, the stadium is known as the RB Arena for European matches.

The current official capacity of the stadium is 41,939 all-covered seats. The record attendance is 43,348 spectators, achieved in a DFB Cup match against Wolfsburg in 2015. That record be broken once the renovation and expansion of the Red Bull Arena has been completed.
