Overview

  • The celebratory friendly will kick off at 15:30 on Saturday and marks the Karl‑Liebknecht‑Stadion's 50th birthday.
  • The away block has sold out and fewer than 1,000 tickets remain for the 10,787‑seat arena, forcing close attention to crowd management.
  • SV Babelsberg 03 and FC St. Pauli framed the match as a reunion of longstanding friends whose fan groups maintain close connections.
  • The KarLi is notable for its foldable floodlight masts and intimate layout, features that shape matchday logistics and sightlines for supporters.
  • The fixture continues a pattern of special friendlies between the clubs, recalling St. Pauli's pro team visit about ten years ago under Ewald Lienen and a U23 game in 2022.
