Girondins Bordeaux, Crystal Palace and Athletic Bilbao – just some of the famous names of European football who have made a summer visit to the Stadion An der Alten Försterei. On Saturday July 23 at 17:00, we will be able to add another prestigious name to that in the shape of newly-promoted English Premier League side Nottingham Forest. Union supporters will have a final opportunity to say their farewells to Taiwo Awoniyi who will run out for the Reds next season.

IFA Exhibition Returns

1. FC Union Berlin’s long-standing partner, IFA, will return this year to host the world’s largest trade fair for consumer electronics between September 2-6, 2022 at Messe Berlin. For the last two years, the popular event was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. "We are proud to be able to present this year’s opposition which is steeped in tradition and returns to the top division. It will be a high-quality encounter and emotionally will touch us even more. Like all Union fans, even we at IFA have taken Taiwo to our hearts. We are very pleased that we all now have the opportunity to say goodbye," said IFA Director Jens Heithecker.

Forest prepare for PL return

After 23 years, Nottingham Forest are back in the top division of English football. Steve Cooper’s side finished fourth and embarked on a play-off adventure in the English Championship. Forest beat Sheffield United in the semi-final before securing a return to the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town. Forest will start their Premier League campaign on August 6 with a visit to Newcastle United before hosting West Ham a week later at the City Ground.
