Supercup Tickets: Bayer Leverkusen vs Stuttgart

Supercup 2024 Ticketnews

The participants in the Supercup are usually the German champions and the cup winners. As the double winner Bayer 04 Leverkusen won both the championship and the cup last season, they will face the runners-up from Stuttgart.

Xabi Alonso’s team can not only look forward to the two titles from last season, but also the right to play at home in the Super Cup final. On Saturday, 17 August 2024, the match between runners-up VfB Stuttgart and champions Bayer Leverkusen will take place at the BayArena in Leverkusen. The match for the first title of the new season kicks off at 20:30.

DFL Supercup: Trouble over venue

The DFL decided on the venue for the Supercup seven years ago. They decided on the stadium of the cup winner as the venue. If the DFB Cup winner is also the champion, the match should be played at the runner-up’s stadium. In this case, the match would have to be played at the MHPArena in Stuttgart.

Nevertheless, the DFL decided to have the match played in Leverkusen. In a vote, the DFL Executive Committee voted in favor of Leverkusen as the venue. This decision against the rule received seven votes in favor. There was also one abstention. Nevertheless, the decision is relatively surprising. With over 60,000 seats, the MHPArena has twice the capacity of the BayArena.

One reason could be that the DFL wants to honor Leverkusen’s performance. The Werkself not only won the championship and the cup, but also reached the final of the Europa League. The Bundesliga fixture list sees Bayer 04 start the season away at Gladbach. Until the 2021/22 season, the champions were given the right to play the opening match at home. The DFL thus made it possible for them to open the season in their home stadium.
