The game day quote
Emotionality is important to us. We have to act with heart, passion and absolute will. We draw strength from this and I am positive that we will score our first points in Paderborn.
The venue
Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud and Kingsley Coman and and and… But what does the French national team have to do with SC Paderborn? The Équipe Tricolore resided in East Westphalia during the 2024 European Championships. The French had their base camp in Bad Lippspringe, but training took place in the SCP’s home stadium – the Home Deluxe Arena. The East Westphalia Arena, which opened in 2008, offers space for a total of 15,000 spectators. The Lilies were last guests here in autumn 2022. And since then something has happened in the Paderborn home stadium. Finally, at the beginning of 2024, the SCP opened the new upper tier, which offers additional seats for around 2,200 fans. However, nothing has changed in terms of overall capacity, as standing room has been reduced at the same time.
