The Frankenstadion first opened its doors in 1991. Since then the playing area has been lowered and additional seating installed to increase the number of seats by 5,500 to 45,500 (Bundesliga capacity). Building work started in 2002 and all reconstruction measures were completed in April 2005. The stadium is home to the 1st Bundesliga premier club FC Nürnberg.

During the 2006 World Cup, the England team played and won 2:0 against Trinidad.

The 1.FC Nuernberg is a club with a long tradition, but has never quite repeated its successful time like in the 20’s, when in won 5 of its altogether 9 league titles (outnumbered only by FC Bayern Munich).

Having gained a reputation as yo-yo team for its several relegations and promotions between 1.Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga in the 90’s and 2000, it has since re-established its performance and is even due to play in the UEFA cup next season.

Nuremberg (pop. 490.000) combines the excitement of a modern city with the old-world charm of a lovely medieval city centre. Nuremberg's beautiful castle, gothic churches, romantic half-timbered buildings and sleepy cobblestoned squares create an unforgettable atmosphere & panorama. But Nuremberg is more than just a mediaeval gem, it is a lively city with excellent shops and delicious local specialities such as Lebkuchen (gingerbread) and Rostbratwürste (small grilled sausages).
