About the stadium
Borussia-Park opened on 30 July 2004 and has been home to the Foals ever since. From 1 July 2026 its official name is ista-Borussia-Park, but around town people just call it Borussia-Park. Bundesliga match capacity is 54,909 — a number that actually changed this summer: the club converted block 2 in the South Stand from a bit over seven hundred seats to about 1,800 standing places, adding about nine hundred places in the process. There are four stands on two levels: the Nordkurve — the standing terrace of the active fan scene, in blocks 13 to 18; the Südkurve, where away fans also sit; and the East and West Stands along the touchlines, with the West Stand home to management, hospitality suites and corporate hospitality. In international matches the standing terraces are converted to seats and capacity drops to about 46,000. For navigation, the address the club itself gives is Am Borussiapark, 41179 Mönchengladbach — not the management building address that appears on other websites.
FAQ
How do you get tickets for a Borussia Mönchengladbach match?
Tickets for Mönchengladbach matches at Borussia-Park are sold first to club members and only afterward to the general public. Advance sale for all 17 home matches of the season opened to association members on 25 July 2026, and general sale for everyone on 3 August. The first home match stays exclusive to members even beyond that — general sale for it opened only on 10 August. And this isn't unusual: the club explicitly defines as a membership benefit 'exclusive purchase rights for top matches', meaning some matches simply never reach the general public. Above everyone sit the season-ticket holders — two types, one that renews automatically and one that gives priority rights on the same seat — and a season-ticket holder must use the ticket for 12 of the 17 home matches to keep it for the next season. The only legal channel for resale is the club's own official marketplace: the seat is offered there, the original ticket is automatically cancelled the moment a buyer is found, and the offer expires 30 minutes before kickoff. The ticketing regulations forbid commercial resale, allow a markup of only up to ten percent in a private transfer, and the sanctions include ticket cancellation, denial of entry without compensation, and a purchase ban of up to five years. Tickets for the away section are distributed solely through the visiting club. TikTik secures tickets for Mönchengladbach matches at Borussia-Park without membership and without a waiting list.
How do you get to Borussia-Park?
You get to Borussia-Park on the match-day shuttle from Mönchengladbach's central station, every five minutes. The local transport operator's shuttle departs from the rear side of the central station, from Platz der Republik, and starts running three hours before kickoff; the last one leaves twenty minutes before the match, and the return service from the stadium runs until about two hours after the final whistle. And here's the detail worth money: the match ticket also serves as the shuttle ticket, and this applies even to those who didn't arrive by train. There's a parallel shuttle from Rheydt station, with a ride of about a quarter of an hour. Anyone traveling on a regular day: line 017 from platform 4 at the central station to the Nordpark Busbahnhof stop, every twenty minutes, or line 007 to the Am Nordpark stop — both within walking distance of the gates. From Rheydt, take line 014 to the same stop. Address for navigation: Am Borussiapark, 41179 Mönchengladbach.
Is there parking at Borussia-Park?
Yes, Borussia-Park has about nine to ten thousand parking spaces, and no advance booking is needed. The parking facility is run by a company the club itself is a partner in, meaning it's an official arm rather than an outside supplier. Those arriving by private car go directly to the public lots P4 through P7 via the A61 highway, at the MG-Nordpark exit — no need to book a spot in advance, and the match-day rate is about seven euros per car. Anyone who wants a reserved spot right next to the stadium can buy a designated parking ticket in advance for lots P2 and P3. On days without a match, parking in lots P1 and P12 is free. There are also electric-vehicle charging points in four of the lots — eighteen of them in P4 alone. Away-fan buses park in a separate lot to the south.
How do you get from Israel to a Borussia Mönchengladbach match?
For a Mönchengladbach match you fly direct from Tel Aviv to Düsseldorf — about four and a half hours. Düsseldorf is the nearest airport, and Tel Aviv appears on its official destination list. There's also a direct line to Cologne Bonn airport, and Frankfurt is the more distant alternative. From Düsseldorf airport there's one thing worth knowing: there's no direct train to Mönchengladbach, and one change is needed. The route is a train from the airport to Düsseldorf's central station — about five to ten minutes, at a very high frequency — and from there a regional train to Mönchengladbach, about twenty-four minutes. Note that the airport has two train stations: its main station is at the eastern end and is reached from the terminal by a short seven-minute elevated train, running between 03:45 and 00:45. From Mönchengladbach's central station you continue on the match-day shuttle. Total from terminal to stadium: about an hour twenty to an hour forty. From Cologne Bonn airport there's a direct regional train to Mönchengladbach, about an hour and ten minutes — but note that this stretch is subject to infrastructure works from September 2026, so it's worth checking before you travel.
Does an Israeli need a visa to fly to the match?
No. Israelis enter Schengen-area countries visa-free for stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period, and all that's required is a valid passport. Worth knowing what's coming: the European Union is launching the ETIAS authorization system in the last quarter of 2026. Once it takes effect, an online authorization will be required in advance, at a cost of €7, valid for three years or until the passport expires — whichever comes first. As of today the system is not active and no action is required from you. Important warning: the EU warns that many sites impersonate the official site, use the EU logo and charge inflated fees or steal passport and credit card details. There is only one official site — europa.eu/etias — and any address not on the europa.eu domain is not official.
Where's the best place to sit at Borussia-Park?
At Borussia-Park the atmosphere is concentrated in the Nordkurve, the standing terrace of the active fans. There, in blocks 13 to 18, stand the groups responsible for the choreography and the singing throughout the match. And this season there's a new option that didn't exist before: the club turned block 2 in the South Stand into a standing area of about 1,800 places, and explicitly positions it as an alternative for anyone who wants to stand but not right in the heart of the active fan scene — about 500 of the places there are sold as single-match tickets. Anyone who prefers to sit chooses the East or West Stand along the touchlines; the West Stand is also home to the hospitality areas, the corporate boxes and the business seats. Away fans sit and stand in the South Stand, in blocks 6 and 7, and enter through the southeast gate — an away fan with a ticket for the North Stand will not be let in.
What's special about Borussia Mönchengladbach's 2026/27 season?
In the 2026/27 season Mönchengladbach continues with Eugen Polanski, after finishing 12th and a summer of eight new signings. Polanski is a homegrown man: a 40-year-old club academy graduate who took over in mid-September 2025 as a temporary solution, was given a permanent contract until 2028 in November, and at the end of May was officially announced to be staying on — with the sporting director explicitly stating this would not be 'business as usual'. Last season was hard: 12th place with 38 points, and survival in the league was only secured three rounds before the end. The response was a change of approach: the club abandoned the loan-signing model and bought eight players on permanent transfers only — among them right-back Yukhym Konoplia from Shakhtar Donetsk, midfielder Enzo Leopold from Hanover on a four-year contract, and striker Isak Lidberg. On the other side, Rocco Reitz left for Leipzig, in a deal the club described as the highest transfer fee it has ever received for one of its own academy graduates. And a practical angle for the tourist: with no midweek European matches, almost all home matches fall on weekends — and the chance of a ticket is higher than at the bigger clubs.
What's Borussia Mönchengladbach's big match in the 2026/27 season?
Mönchengladbach's big match is the Rhine derby against Köln, played at home in February 2027. The derby returns to the league in two installments: the away match in Köln in the window of 9 to 11 October 2026, and the home match at Borussia-Park in the window of 19 to 21 February 2027. It's important to know these are windows, not fixed dates — the German league publishes a range at this stage, and the exact day and time are set later according to broadcast scheduling. Anyone booking a flight around the derby needs two days of flexibility. Alongside the derby, the two most in-demand home matches of the season are actually against the giants: Dortmund arrives in the window of 20 to 22 November 2026, and Bayern Munich in the window of 8 to 10 January 2027 — the club itself marks both of these as the top matches of the schedule. The season opens away against Leipzig on 29 August, and the first home match is against Elversberg on 5 September.
