Hertha BSC prepares for Olympiastadion home opener

Hertha BSC is set to return to the Olympiastadion this Saturday for their home season opener against 1. FC Heidenheim. Approximately 40,000 spectators are expected to attend the match.

Coach Stefan Leitl noted that the team has been unable to hold training sessions at the Olympiastadion due to scheduling difficulties, a situation he says is not new. To prepare, the team will inspect the pitch and locker rooms using sneakers. Leitl expressed excitement about the stadium's atmosphere and expects a physically demanding challenge against a high-running Heidenheim side.
