The RheinEnergie Stadion is the home stadium of 1. FC Köln, a historic German football club that competes in the Bundesliga.

As the home ground of 1. FC Köln (affectionately known as "EffZeh" by its supporters), the RheinEnergie Stadion holds a very special significance in Cologne and the surrounding region, and is renowned for its unique atmosphere.

In addition to 1. FC Köln matches, major sporting events, and concerts, countless corporate events and private celebrations take place at the stadium every year.

Spanning an area of ​​110,559 m² with a seating capacity of 49,698, the stadium was originally built in 1923, reconstructed in 1975, and underwent a major renovation between 2002 and 2004 in preparation for the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Consequently, it was awarded the ÖKOPROFIT® certification (Ecological Project for Integrated Environmental Technology)—a collaborative initiative involving the City of Cologne, local businesses, and other partners dedicated to fostering sustainable economic development.
