History and description<\/h3>\n

Volksparkstadion, also referred to as Hamburg Arena, got built on the site of the\u00a0old stadium<\/a>\u00a0with the same name, but with the pitch turned 90 degrees. Building works started in July 1998, and as the old stadium was gradually demolished and replaced with the new one, HSV kept playing their home games at the stadium.<\/p>\n

The new Volksparkstadion was\u00a0completed in August 2000. It first received the sponsor name AOL Arena, which it kept until\u00a02007, was renamed\u00a0HSH Nordbank Arena between 2007 and 2010, and then received the sponsor name Imtech Arena until 2015. During the World Cup and other events where the sponsorname could not be used, the stadium went with the name Hamburg Arena.<\/p>\n

The Volksparkstadion\u00a0was one of the playing venues of the 2006 World Cup<\/a>, during which it hosted four group matches and the quarter-final between Italy and Ukraine (3-0).<\/p>\n

In 2010, the\u00a0Volksparkstadion\u00a0hosted the Europa League final<\/a> between Atl\u00e9tico Madrid and Fulham (2-1).<\/p>\n
