TSV Havelse cleared to return to Eilenriedestadion

The German Football Association (DFB) has approved TSV Havelse to return to the Eilenriedestadion for their 3. Liga home matches. The club had been forced to play its initial home games at the Heinz von Heiden Arena because the Eilenriedestadion did not meet the league's requirements.

The primary issue involved mobile additional stands, which were necessary to meet the mandatory minimum capacity of 5,001 spectators. Previous inspections in August had identified deficiencies regarding fire protection and structural stability against wind loads, leading the DFB to deny earlier requests.

Following improvements and the submission of required documentation, the DFB confirmed that the club has now met all necessary prerequisites. TSV Havelse is scheduled to host Würzburg Kickers at the Eilenriedestadion immediately following this decision.
