Arrival by coach:
Coaches park in the bus parking lot in the south area of the Volkswagen Arena. The bus parking lot is located directly at the guest entrance.
Car/nine-seater:
Current note: From November 1st, 2022, motor vehicles over 7.5t will no longer be allowed to pass the Berlin Bridge! Here it is urgently necessary to travel via the B188.
Due to the international ice hockey match and the shooting festival, increased traffic volumes are expected in Wolfsburg.
In addition, the P3 parking lot in the Allerpark is only available to a very limited extent. The P4 in Allerpark cannot be used due to the shooting festival. We therefore recommend arriving early. Here is the link to it.
Coming from the A39 (Weyhausen exit), there is the Kästorf Park & Ride car park (3,200 parking spaces), from which free shuttle buses run to the Volkswagen Arena at regular intervals.
The walk to the arena from here takes about 15 minutes. Depending on requirements, four to six shuttle buses will be in use on match day starting 2 ¼ hours before the start of the game and will travel to the Volkswagen Arena every ten minutes.
The journey time is approx. 5 minutes. After the game ends, the buses will drive from the stop at Berliner Brücke to the Park & Ride parking lot as soon as they are full. The last trip takes place approximately 45 minutes after the end of the game.
The correct destination address for the navigation device is: VW-Tor-Nord, 38440 Wolfsburg
Train/public transport:
We recommend train traveling fans to get off at Wolfsburg main station and walk to the Volkswagen Arena (approx. 15 minutes on foot). You go to the main entrance and then turn left in an easterly direction. The police forces there will be happy to show you the way. A shuttle service is not available.

Darmstadt's 2-1 defeat at Karlsruher SC also ended any remaining theoretical hopes the South Hessian club had of finishing the season in the top three. The loss at the Wildpark stadium served somewhat as a symbol for the past few weeks, during which SV 98 had only managed one point from five matches since the international break in March. Following the game on Sunday afternoon, the Darmstadt players addressed the assembled media representatives with mixed feelings.
Three points! SV Darmstadt 98's U21 team secured a victory in the Lotto Hessenliga on Saturday afternoon (May 2nd). In their match against Hünfelder SV, the young Lilies overcame an early deficit to clinch a convincing 3-1 win. This result puts the U21 team currently outside the relegation zone. "Our trend is clearly upward," said a delighted U21 coach Sebastian Schmitt.
The successful collaboration between the Hessian Disabled and Rehabilitation Sports Association (HBRS) and SV Darmstadt 98 will continue long-term: Both partners have extended their existing agreement to promote inclusive sports indefinitely. This sends a clear signal for the sustainable development of inclusion and disability sports in Hesse.
A bitter end in Karlsruhe: After 90 entertaining minutes in which both teams sought salvation in attack, Darmstadt suffered a narrow defeat. The final score was 2-1 after a late goal from the home side, following Isac Lidberg's earlier equaliser. After the match, the players were particularly frustrated with the missed opportunities in the first half.
The away form continues to be poor: SV 98 suffered a 2-1 (0-0) defeat against Karlsruher SC. Lidberg scored the equaliser for the team from southern Hesse in the 70th minute.
Darmstadt 98 visit Karlsruher SC on matchday 32 (May 3rd, 1:30 PM). Florian Kohfeldt has made five changes to his starting lineup. Killian Corredor replaces the injured Fraser Hornby, Aleksandar Vukotic comes in for the suspended Patric Pfeiffer, and Fabian Holland starts in place of Matej Maglica, who is sidelined with an ankle injury. Merveille Papela and Niklas Schmidt also join the team, replacing Sergio Lopez and Yosuke Furukawa. In addition to Hornby, Pfeiffer, and Maglica, Darmstadt will also be without the injured Matthias Bader, Fabian Nürnberger, and Luca Marseiler.
Finally, the weekend is here, finally Sunday! On Sunday afternoon (May 3rd, 1:30pm), SV Darmstadt 98 will face Karlsruher SC away. What do the two coaches have to say about the match, who will be refereeing, and where can you watch it if you're not at the stadium? All the important information about the Lilies' 32nd matchday is compiled for you here in "Matchday Guide".
Continuity in sporting management: SV Darmstadt 98 has extended Paul Fernie's contract early and for the long term. As part of the contract extension, the current sporting director will move into the club's management board and will now serve as managing director of sport.
Our head coach spoke at the press conference before the away game against Karlsruher SC (May 3rd/1:30pm) about the mental freshness of his team, the course of action for the remaining games and his coaching colleague, whose commitment to KSC will end after six years this season.
Left hook, 'One hundred and eightyyyyyyy', and hand over the baton. Doesn't sound like football – and that's true. KSC is often associated with professional football, but with the sheer number of titles the club has won, it's worth looking beyond the pitch. Titles from Baden-Württemberg to Rome.
In a rescheduled Lotto Hessenliga match, SV Darmstadt 98's U21 team hosted SV Hummetroth at their youth academy on Wednesday evening (April 29th) but unfortunately came away empty-handed. Despite a spirited performance and playing with one man less, the score after 90 minutes was 3-1 in favour of Hummetroth.
