One arena, two matches: Barcelona & Fulham friendlies in the PreZero Arena
All TSG fans can look forward to a great day in and around the PreZero Arena. The match of the TSG Hoffenheim women's Bundesliga team has been moved from the Dietmar Hopp Stadium to the arena. The ball will start rolling at 11:30 CEST, when Fabienne Dongus, Gia Corley and co. take on the Champions League winners from Barcelona.
Tickets that have already been purchased for the match at the Dietmar Hopp Stadium will unfortunately have to be cancelled. Purchasers will be informed separately by e-mail. Tickets for the joint event in the arena can be purchased in the online shop. Tickets for the men's match against the Premier League club remain valid and are also valid for the TSG women's match against Barcelona.

This also applies to all season ticket holders of the PreZero Arena. The Business Club will not be open in the morning for the game against Barcelona.
After the match, fans will have the opportunity to stay at the event mile. In addition to a selection of different food trucks, there will be interactive activities and a stage programme with appearances and interviews of representatives from regional clubs.
