Football Trips to Augsburg

Football Trips to Augsburg

Augsburg is Bundesliga without the overwhelm: old-town lanes, local beer, a proud club and a ground that feels close from every side. With our football trips to Augsburg, we arrange flights, a carefully selected hotel, official FC Augsburg admission and our ticket guarantee, so you can enjoy the build-up rather than the planning. Since 2008, we have sent over 50,000 fans to games across Europe.

Why Augsburg feels different

FC Augsburg’s rise still feels hard-earned. Promotion in 2010/11, soon after moving into the WWK Arena, changed the club’s story without turning the city into a celebrity-club destination. This is a Bavarian-Swabian football city with local soul: proud, compact and easy to take in over a Bundesliga weekend.

The milestones matter here. A DFB-Pokal semi-final in 2009/10 gave supporters a taste of bigger nights, while 2015/16 UEFA Europa League football brought a famous February visit from Liverpool. For wider context on the division, our Bundesliga trips in Germany page places Augsburg among the country’s great football weekends.

  • Munich has global glamour, but Augsburg has closeness: narrow streets, honest terraces and a city that does not shout for attention.
  • The old town suits a short stay, with fountains, guild houses and quiet corners before the noise rises later in the day.
  • If you want a Bundesliga football trip that feels rooted rather than polished, Augsburg at home is a brilliant choice.

Inside the WWK Arena

FC Augsburg play at the WWK Arena, opened in 2009 south of the centre between Göggingen and the university district. It holds 30,660, and in 2024/25 the average attendance was 29,820, around 97% full. That makes an FC Augsburg home game feel tight, loud and lived-in rather than distant.

The Ulrich-Biesinger-Tribüne is the main home end, with blocks K to O holding around 8,500 supporters. Scarves lift, flags ripple, drums set the rhythm and chants roll around the corners. The building has its own identity too: around 20 kilometres of aluminium tubes shape the façade, while geothermal energy helped make it known as the world’s first carbon-neutral football stadium, saving more than 750 tonnes of CO₂ per year.

We package the essentials together, including official admission, so the game becomes the centrepiece of the weekend. You can choose a Bundesliga package with FC Augsburg or shape the day around a home fixture in Augsburg, with the same focus on secure access and a smooth trip.

Before kick-off in Augsburg

The city’s rhythm before the game is part of the charm. At 11er Fußball.Kultur.Kneipe on Dominikanergasse 14, the walls, screens and table football make it clear where the conversation is heading. Schwarzbräu specialities pour while fans talk line-ups and old away days.

On Maximilianstraße 61, BOB’S Punkrock Pizzeria & Beer Bar shows FC Augsburg Saturday games and supports Augsburg Calling, a hospitality initiative active since 2007 and built around dialogue and respect. Closer to the ground, the FC Augsburg Fankneipe opens three and a half hours before home fixtures, giving the day a proper local pulse.

Food keeps the route grounded in Swabian-Bavarian taste. You might come across a Schwabenburger, an Allgäuburger, FCA-Knacker or Debreziner, while Augsburger Zwetschgendatschi makes a sweet old-town pause before the evening sharpens. Riegele at Frölichstraße 26 adds brewing heritage dating back to 1386. With our weekend trips to FC Augsburg and hotel-and-admission packages, that build-up fits naturally around the fixture.

Big fixtures and local memory

The headline home game is Augsburg vs Bayern Munich: local underdog energy against Germany’s biggest club. In April 2014, Augsburg won 1-0 and ended a 52-game unbeaten Bundesliga run, a result still retold with a grin. For many travelling fans, the Bavarian derby in Augsburg is the date that jumps from the calendar.

Yet the deeper roots go beyond one opponent. The old rivalry with TSV 1860 Munich peaked on 15 August 1973 at Munich’s Olympiastadion, when at least 90,000 watched and around 30,000 Augsburg fans travelled. Regional friction with Ingolstadt adds another edge when the paths cross.

The Rosenaustadion, opened in 1951 and built on post-war rubble, housed FC Augsburg until 2009. Helmut Haller, born in the city in 1939, played 33 times for West Germany, scored in the 1966 World Cup final and is honoured with a monument at the WWK Arena.

  • We bring the flights, hotel and official admission together in one package.
  • You bring the scarf, the curiosity and a free weekend.
  • Augsburg supplies the old town, the local pride and the final whistle echoing into the night.
