On Wednesday (October 29th/8:45pm), SV Darmstadt 98 will host FC Schalke and asks you to observe the following information.
• The game is sold out.
• Away fans (blocks X1, X2 and Y) must use the North-East entrance (Böllenfalltorweg) and present their printed ticket.
• Wearing fan paraphernalia of the visiting team is not permitted in the home section on the back straight and the south stand.
• Furthermore, the security staff are authorised to assign away fans to a different seat in the interest of fan segregation.
Kickoff is at 8:45pm. The stadium opens 90 minutes prior.
The parking garage for away fans opens at 5:45pm.
SV 98 asks all Lilien fans to arrive at the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor early, if possible, by public transport, on foot, or by bike. The journey by RMV is included in the ticket price.
The stadium has four entrances, which are divided into home and away areas:
The game is sold out.
A parking fee in cash is payable at parking areas P7 (guest buses) and P8 (cars, minibuses up to 2m).
Please pay attention to the detailed Arrival Information and only use the „North-East“ entrance on Böllenfalltorweg.
Coaches should contact our fan support team in advance for directions.
During recent games, we have observed an increase in the throwing of cups, and as a result, we will not only receive penalties from the DFB Sports Court for this, but have also had to issue numerous nationwide stadium bans of up to two years.
Please refrain from throwing objects! You endanger other people and are committing grievous bodily harm according to Section 224 of the German Criminal Code. It doesn’t matter whether the cup actually hits and injures someone.
The consumption of cannabis is still prohibited under current legislation (ban in sports venues).
Based on recent experience, SV 98 would like to draw your attention to the following rules and precautions applicable to this match:
The wearing of fan paraphernalia of the visiting team is not permitted in the areas of the opposite stand (blocks G1-G3, A, O2 to O4) and the south stand.
The club, the police, and the stewards are entitled to deny access to these areas to visiting fans, even if they have a valid ticket, and/or to remove them from these areas and, if sufficient space is still available, to relocate them to the away section of the stadium. If no other suitable seat can be offered, the affected visiting fan may be removed from the stadium or denied access to the stadium; in this case, no compensation is payable.
SV 98 generally welcomes members using their pre-emptive right to provide gifts to those close to them. However, for the future, it cautions that passing tickets on to fans of the visiting team can always pose potential security risks or even diminish the Lilies‘ home advantage – one should not assume that one is the only Lilies fan doing others a favor. Pre-sales are exclusively for SV 98 members and fans. According to the established ticket terms and conditions, anyone who uses their pre-emptive right to provide gifts to visiting fans must expect a restriction of their preferential rights, up to and including revocation of their season ticket/membership.
The (profitable) resale of tickets, regardless of the means, is completely unacceptable. If discovered, this will result in the immediate cancellation of the ticket, rendering the ticket worthless for the purchaser as well, and no refunds are possible. SV 98 reserves the right to take further measures, such as cancellation of the season ticket, revocation of membership, or bans from the stadium. Instead, if you are unable to attend, you are welcome to use the dedicated ticket exchange at sv98.de.
SV 98 is obligated to provide up to 100 tickets in the top category (main stand) to the visiting club. Sales are the responsibility of the visiting club.
The standing areas are expected to be almost completely full for this game as well. SV 98 therefore requests all fans to arrive early and reserve spaces as far away from the steps and block entrances as soon as the stadium opens. Fans should never stand on the steps or directly in the entrance area. As a result, your friends in your block may not be able to access the stands or leave them safely – regardless of medical services. It’s only possible together!
Experience has shown that there are still gaps, especially in the lower rows or the outer areas of the blocks, while congestion builds up at the block entrance at the start of the game. Furthermore, fewer standing tickets were sold than would have been permissible. Nevertheless, everyone’s support is needed to ensure a pleasant experience for all fans.
Temperatures of around 13 degrees Celsius are expected in Darmstadt, with cloudy weather. The probability of precipitation is 90 percent.

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.
