AWD-Arena
The AWD-Arena is a football stadium in Hannover. The 49 000 capacity stadium is the home ground of Hannover 96.
The stadium was originally known as Niedersachsenstadion, built between 1952 and 1954, with an original capacity of 86 000. Huge amounts of debris from the houses in Hanover destroyed during the Second World War were used as the fundament of the stadium. Hannover 96 moved permanently to the stadium in 1959. Other local clubs have also held matches there. Since 2002, the stadium carries the name of sponsor and financial services provider AWD.
