We will set off for Freiburg by coach on Saturday morning. On arrival we will have the chance to take a closer look at Freiburg, enjoy the benefits of Germany's most southerly city and get in the mood for Sunday. The night from Saturday to Sunday will be spent at a youth hostel near the stadium.
A busy day on Sunday will start with a communal breakfast. You will then have the unique opportunity of working with members of the SC Freiburg youth club in producing a fan choreograph. This will be displayed at the Schwarzwald Stadium before kick-off. You can add your own personal touch to this unforgettable experience of a Bundesliga game against SC Freiburg. And, of course, you will be able to watch our Werkself live at the stadium in the afternoon.
