VSG Altglienicke to Play Home Games in Fürstenwalde Again Next Season

Delayed public works in Berlin have left the fourth-tier side without a compliant home ground despite approved funds.

Overview

  • VSG Altglienicke said it will again stage home games at Fürstenwalde’s Spree-Arena next season.
  • The Berlin club lacks a Regionalliga-ready venue, as its Willy-Sänger-Sportanlage does not meet fourth-tier stadium rules.
  • About €4.3 million approved in 2020 for the upgrade remains unspent because the Treptow-Köpenick district has not carried out the work.
  • Club leaders point to administrative holdups, citing an understaffed civil engineering office and a two-year wait for an expert report.
  • The setup keeps fans traveling roughly 50 kilometers to games in Brandenburg, even as the club thanks Union Fürstenwalde and the city for making the ground available.
