The Rhein-Neckar-Arena (German pronunciation: [ˌʁaɪnˈnɛkaɐ̯ʔaˌʁeːnaː] (
listen); also known as Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena [ˈvɪʁzɔl-] ( listen) for sponsoring purposes[3]) is a multi-purpose stadium in Sinsheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is used mostly for football matches and hosts the home matches of 1899 Hoffenheim. The stadium has a capacity of 30,150 people.[4] It replaced TSG 1899 Hoffenheim's former ground, the Dietmar-Hopp-Stadion.
The stadium is the largest in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan area, although it is situated in a town with only 36,000 inhabitants.
The first competitive match was played on 31 January 2009 against FC Energie Cottbus, and ended in a 2–0 win for Hoffenheim.[5] The stadium hosted international matches at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.[4]
