Third division side Fortuna Düsseldorf sold 19,000 season tickets | OneFootball

Fortuna Düsseldorf have confirmed they sold 19,000 season tickets for their 3. Liga campaign. Ahead of the start of regular ticket sales for their first home game, the club communicated the news that their loyal fans are still looking forward to a matchday experience in 3. Liga at Merkur Spiel-Arena.

Die Fortunen narrowly missed out on Bundesliga promotion in 2024, but they will now play in the third division for the first time since 2009. Alexander Ende remains at the helm despite his unsuccessful attempt to save the club from costly relegation in the final weeks of the season.

While several players left the club as either free agents or in low-cost transfers, Düsseldorf opted for experience in recruitment. Dominique Heintz and Fabian Schleusener are among their recruits, while Preußen Münster’s captain Jorrit Hendrix returned to Düsseldorf after his club also faced relegation to 3. Liga.
