VSG Altglienicke moves to Brandenburg: Stadium situation escalated!

Fürstenwalde, Deutschland - Like a fresh breeze, a new way is blowing for VSG Altglienicke. After fruitless efforts for a suitable stadium location in Berlin, the regional league will move to Brandenburg in the coming season. From now on, the Friesenstadion in Fürstenwalde will serve as a new home for the club's home games, such as rbb24. A move that was inevitable because the own stadium in Altglienicke is not able to renovate and therefore has no sufficient suitability for the regional league.

An adequate alternative in Berlin remained in vain, which is why VSG Altglienicke had to share the Hans-Zoschke Stadium with Lichtenberg 47 last year. In addition, the games were also played in the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn sports park and in the amateur stadium at the Olympic Stadium. But the topic of stadium infrastructure remains explosive. The district councilor of Treptow-Köpenick, Marco Brauchmann (CDU), announced the end of the guest tour through Berlin stadiums, which underlines the problems in the capital.

Construction site stadium infrastructure

In Berlin, the stadium situation is perceived as increasingly precarious. Since the application in 2019 to renovate the stadium on Köpenicker Landstrasse, there have only been delays. The complicated coordination and planning processes ensure that the urgently needed work can only begin in 2026 if the financing commitments arrive in good time. Technical challenges, in particular the inglorious state of many technical systems, do not make things easier, reports [sportschau.de] (https://www.sportschau.de/regional/rbb-vsg-altglienicke-beht-nach-nachloser stadiums-nach-nach-brand-um-100.html).

The question remains how the Berlin football regional and top division team continues, who have long been complaining about lack of political support. As part of the sports facility renovation program, the city of Berlin provides 24 million euros for 2025, but the pressure on the clubs is growing. The problems in the stadium building are also reflected in the challenges with which the regional league Hertha 03 Zehlendorf is faced, as tagenspiegel.de reported.
