Flyeralarm Arena, football stadium in Würzburg, Germany
The Flyeralarm Arena, originally Stadion am Dallenberg, is a football ground in the Steinbachtal and Heidingsfeld area of Würzburg. Its main stand, the only covered spectator area, holds 3,000 seats in blocks A to E and Z; the other stands are open terracing. The stands taper toward the middle, giving the interior an octagonal shape, and four floodlight masts, the tallest 32 metres, stand around the pitch.
The Würzburger Kickers built the stadium on the Dallenberg from the mid-1960s, after their ground at Randersackerer Straße in the Sanderau had to be abandoned. Architect Jupp Schunk designed it, and members' donations and labour helped fund it. The main stand opened on 15 August 1967 with a friendly against 1. FC Kaiserslautern; the last terracing was finished in 1975. It has been called Flyeralarm Arena since 9 March 2013.
The club was founded in 1907 and played at the Kugelfang on the Galgenberg before moving to the Sanderau in 1909; the Dallenberg ground followed in the 1960s. A benefit match on 23 June 2013 between the Dirk Nowitzki All Stars and Manuel Neuer & Friends drew 10,800 spectators and was broadcast live on Kabel1. The ground has officially carried the name Flyeralarm Arena since 9 March 2013.
The stadium is easy to spot from outside and straightforward to reach, with parking areas and good connections to public transport. Visitors should check ahead about access rules and any restrictions on match days.
The stadium has been called Flyeralarm Arena since 9 March 2013 and was renamed Akon Arena for sponsorship reasons in 2023. During the 2006 World Cup it served as Ghana's national team training ground, and a new pitch was laid for that purpose; a friendly between Ghana and VfB Stuttgart drew 6,000 spectators.
