Special reunion: HSV host Copenhagen at the Volkspark | OneFootball

Fans can look forward to a very special highlight during the first international break of the season. On October 4 (3:30 p.m.), HSV will host FC Copenhagen at the Volksparkstadion.

That means a renewal of a fixture defined by the special relationship between the two fan bases. The roots of this friendship go back more than two decades. The first connections were made during the European tie between the two clubs in 2005, and over the years they developed into a close bond. This was especially evident last summer: around 8,000 HSV supporters traveled with their team to the friendly in Copenhagen.

Now the “return leg” will take place at the Volksparkstadion. A German-Danish supporting program is also planned around the match in Hamburg. HSV also announced that Blocks 10A, 11A, and 12A in the lower tier of the South Stand have been designated for the organized fan scene from Copenhagen. This means the supporters of both clubs will be directly opposite each other.

HSV to test themselves against a European club

But not only in terms of atmosphere — from a sporting perspective, this matchup should also provide an interesting gauge of where the team stands. Copenhagen are already in the middle of competitive action and have made a successful start to the season. After three matchdays, they have three wins to their name, and the record champions have also reached the Conference League play-offs. It will therefore be a demanding opponent.

For HSV, meanwhile, the match offers a welcome opportunity to stay in rhythm during the extended international break. Between the Bundesliga home game against 1. FC Köln on September 19 and the next league clash away at TSG Hoffenheim between October 9 and 11, there is a three-week break from competitive matches.

Ticket sales for the Copenhagen friendly, by the way, begin on August 20 at 10 a.m. Tickets are available from ten euros, and up to eight tickets can be purchased per person.
