On Thursday, 17 April, Frankfurt will welcome Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur to the Waldstadion, currently known as Deutsche Bank Park, for the pair's Europa League quarter-final clash.
Despite coming into this fixture on the back of three losses in their last five league fixtures, the home side are enjoying a fairly impressive campaign. Frankfurt are currently third in the Bundesliga and will be extremely confident in their ability to dump Spurs out of the tournament.
Tottenham, on the other hand, have endured what can only be described as a challenging campaign. Injuries have been a huge contributing factor to the North London side's terrible form; however, even with the majority of the squad returning, results have seemingly failed to improve.
Both sides will want to play on the front foot in this one, which should make for an entertaining affair. For Spurs fans who will be making the journey, here is your guide to the Frankfurt away section.
What is Frankfurt like for away fans?
Generally speaking, Frankfurt is an incredibly welcoming city for tourists, including away fans, and you will likely have a great time as a result. Germany is a country with a rich culture, much of which is extremely similar to that found in the UK.
However, supporters visiting Frankfurt are often advised to avoid the district of Sachsenhausen as this can be slightly more hostile than the rest of the city.
Where to drink for Spurs fans in Frankfurt?
While Frankfurt itself is a city filled with various pubs and bars, the Waldstadion is actually located south of the city centre and as such, the offerings near the ground are less substantial.
We therefore recommend enjoying your pre-match drinks in the centre of Frankfurt before heading to the stadium, with our top suggestions as follows:
- O’Dwyer’s Irish Bar – Klappergasse 19, 60594 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
- Four Corners – Zeil 10, 60313 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
- Fox and Hound – Niedenau 2, 60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Where to watch football in Frankfurt?
If you will be heading to Germany a few days early, then there are a whole host of mouth-watering Champions League fixtures on the Tuesday (15 April) and the Wednesday (16 April). Given that you will be in Germany, the pick of the bunch is, of course, Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona.
Some of the best sports bars in Frankfurt to watch these games are as follows:
- Champions Frankfurt, Champions, Hamburger Allee 2, 60486 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
- O'Reilly's Irish pubs, Am Hauptbahnhof 4, 60329 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
- Bull & Bear Restaurant & Sportsbar, Schillerstrabe 11, 60313 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
What will the Frankfurt away section be like for Spurs fans?
The Frankfurt aways section is located to the left of the East Stand and spans across two tiers. In most cases, it is a lively, energetic part of the stadium – largely because the entire away section is fitted with safe-standing rails to help boost the atmosphere.
While the home crowd are more than capable of making the Waldstadion incredibly intimidating, most Frankfurt supporters are very welcoming towards away fans.

The Waldatadion is a fantastically modern venue, and as a result, obstructed views are few and far between. Generally speaking, the aways section is no different; however, for the very best views possible, we recommend sitting in the first few rows of the upper tier.
How many Spurs fans are going to Frankfurt?
Tottenham have been handed a rather sizeable away allocation of 2,912 for this fixture, so expect plenty of Spurs fans in Frankfurt come matchday.
What's more, given the relative proximity of England and Germany, there will also likely be a larger number of Tottenham supporters making the trip to Frankfurt without a ticket, simply to soak up the atmosphere before kick-off.
How Spurs fans can get to the Waldstadion
First and foremost, our number one piece of advice is to travel from Frankfurt to the Waldstadion via public transport. Like any major city, Frankfurt will be rife with traffic, particularly on matchday, making public transport a far more efficient option.
The easiest service to use will likely be the metro, with lines S7, S8 and S9 all running between the city and the stadium. When using this method, exit your service at stop ‘Stadion'.
However, the tram and bus are also viable options. If using the tram, you will want to look for Line 21 in the city centre, while for the bus, look out for the 61 service, which you will want to exit at Stadionbad, which is roughly 15 minutes from the Waldstadion.
Waldstadion stadium tour: How to visit Frankfurt ground
Thankfully, Frankfurt do in fact provide regular tours of their fantastic Waldstadion home, most of which run during the week, rather than at weekends.
While prices can vary, adults can expect to pay approximately €21 for the tour, during which they will be afforded behind-the-scenes access to facilities such as dressing rooms, players' tunnel, dugouts, press rooms and the club's on-site museum.
Typically, these tours last around two hours and in most cases, you can also opt to pay extra for a guided tour.

Waldstadion tickets: How to watch a Frankfurt game
For the best chance possible of securing Frankfurt tickets, you may want to consider becoming a club member. While this is not necessarily required, members are usually afforded priority sales windows before matchday tickets are opened up to the general public.
Becoming a member, therefore, gives you a far better chance at securing tickets for bigger fixtures, such as those against Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund.
However, for matches with less demand, tickets will occasionally be available to the general public as mentioned, with tickets able to be purchased up until matchday.
How to get Frankfurt vs Tottenham tickets
Unfortunately, the Tottenham sales window, which was open for season ticket holders only, has already closed for this match, and the majority of successful applicants were charged on 4 April.
However, that does not mean that all hope should be lost for those still looking to secure their seat at the Waldstadion for this game. Check out our guide on how to get Frankfurt vs Tottenham tickets for more information.
FGG says: An important game for Tottenham
While this is, of course, an important game for Frankfurt, the stakes are perhaps just that little bit higher for Spurs coming into this tie.
Postecoglou's side are in turmoil right now, with tensions rising between the manager and the fanbase. Tottenham's season now rests on their prospects of winning the Europa League, and securing a result away at Frankfurt will go some way to proving they have the confidence needed to do just that.
