Weserstadion: 100 Years of Footballing History
14 Oct
Summary
- The Weserstadion celebrates its 100th anniversary on Saturday.
- Werder Bremen will wear a special white commemorative kit.
- A past anniversary celebration ended in a disappointing defeat.
Werder Bremen is set to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Weserstadion this Saturday, October 17, 2026, exactly one century after its original inauguration. The club has planned a series of festivities surrounding their Bundesliga home fixture against SC Paderborn, with the match itself being the centerpiece.
Earlier events honoring the stadium's history and its bond with the city included historical exhibitions and special stadium tours. A notable pre-celebration was a legends match on September 26, where former Werder stars triumphed 4-3 over a Real Madrid selection.
A distinctive white commemorative kit, previously worn by legends, will be featured by the current squad. This departure from traditional colors aims to add a unique touch to the centenary celebrations.
This special occasion follows a less fortunate anniversary celebration on February 10, 2024, when Werder marked its 125th birthday with a 2-1 defeat to 1. FC Heidenheim despite numerous chances.
Sporting director Clemens Fritz highlighted the need for the team to perform well and make the Weserstadion a fortress again, aiming for a third consecutive home victory against Paderborn.
