"Our stadium should always belong to the people who care about it: the members of 1. FC Union Berlin and their families, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren," said Dirk Zingler at Union's AGM.

On 10 December at 08:00, Union members will have the chance to become owners of their home ground in Berlin-Köpenick for the first time since 2011 by purchasing the new stadium share*.

How does it work? If you want to quickly and easily subscribe for the new shares from home, you can do so, including a digital signature and payment, via online. Those who need assistance are invited to the subscription breakfast at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei on 10 December.

Between 08:00 and 12:00, subscriptions can be made in the stadium's mixed zone under supervision. All that is required is a valid ID document and the future shareholder's membership number. Payment can be made on the spot in cash or electronically. Those who wish can fill out the subscription form in advance and bring it with them to the subscription breakfast.

Union members have the opportunity to become stadium owners until 10 January 2025. Those who miss the subscription breakfast and do not want to purchase their shares online can visit the share office (in the car park in front of the stadium) or one of Union's Zeughaus stores in Bahnhofstraße, the Ring-Center or ALEXA.

*Existing shareholders have a right of first refusal until 6 December 2024 at 18:00.
