U21 debut in the Baltic Sea Stadium: Fans are looking forward to the duel against Latvia!

Rostock, Deutschland - The sun's rays over Rostock shine during the day, while the anticipation increases for a very special football game. On September 9, 2025, the German U21 football team runs up in the Baltic Sea Stadium against Latvia and thus heralds the European Championship qualification for 2027. A nervous and excited Antonio di Salvo, the former Hansa Rostock star, comments full of enthusiasm about the upcoming match and likes to remember his time in Rostock when he played 120 games for the team from 2001 to 2005 and scored 25 goals. "It is particularly for me to play here," he says, while the fans hope for the support of the new team.

The first impetus in this qualification is on the program at 8:30 p.m., and ticket sales start on July 14, 2025 at 10 a.m. The ticket prices are manageable and thus enable many fans access to this exciting game: seat cards cost between 15 and 20 euros, reduced between 10 and 15 euros. For children up to 14 years, the price is only 8 euros, and group tickets from ten people are also available for 8 euros per person, as the DFB announces here .

a new wind in the U21

The new U21 team faces a major challenge. Almost two thirds of the players who became vice -European champions last year have to give way. Only seven talented players remain in the squad, including Paul Wanner and Nicolo Tresoldi. The personnel upheaval opens up a breath of fresh air and opportunities for the younger players to prove themselves and to continue the success story of the U21. Di Salvo sees this qualification round not only as a mandatory task, but also as an opportunity for the development of his new team.

The other opponents in the European Championship qualification should not be underestimated: Greece, Northern Ireland, Malta and Georgia are also waiting for their games. After the game against Latvia, the second home game will take place on October 10, 2025 in Jena against Greece. In November we will go to Fürth, where Malta is waiting for the U21 on November 14th.

Rostock as a place of remembrance

The anticipation for the match increases when you consider that Rostock had already had a big game last year when the German national team of women in Poland defeated 4: 1. This suggests that the city has a football -loving atmosphere and the support is safe. Di Salvo is optimistic that the boys will feel the fans' thumbs.

With a view to the European Championship qualification, which will take place in Albania and Serbia, the entire team hopes for the necessary support and unforgettable moments on the square. The team will make an effort, because the way back to the top begins here and now.

So enjoy the anticipation for the really exciting event on September 9th and secure your tickets in the DFB ticket portal in good time. All information about the match day and the group is of course here .
