Vonovia Ruhrstadion: VfL Bochum matches & tickets

Home of VfL Bochum, the Vonovia Ruhrstadion sits close to the city centre and feels tied to the old industrial heart of the Ruhr. Opened in 1911, it is one of those grounds that still feels direct and honest, with fans close to the pitch and little wasted noise. Bochum is not Germany’s glamour club, and that is part of the appeal, the matchday mood is local, loyal, and properly intense. In the 2. Bundesliga, it offers a more grounded, old-school football trip than the bigger names nearby. Find upcoming fixtures, tickets, and everything for a matchday visit below.
