Spectator boom at FSV Zwickau: 5th place in the Northeast Regional League!

The Regionalliga Nordost is enjoying a remarkable boom in spectators, especially at FSV Zwickau, which boasts impressive numbers. In the current season, the club has achieved an average attendance of 5,425 fans per home game. This means that FSV Zwickau exceeds the average attendance from many of its third league years and is currently in 57th place in the Germany-wide spectator ranking, while it is in 5th place in its regional league group. This information illustrates the success story of the club, which is celebrating a remarkable comeback after being relegated from the 3rd division. According to diefalsche9.de, the average attendance remained constant compared to the previous season, which shows that the fans remain loyal to the club.

A total of over 90,000 spectators have attended FSV Zwickau's home games in the last three seasons, which shows that interest in the games remains high. The number of spectators at home games against well-known opponents is particularly impressive. This was seen in the Saxony duel against BSG Chemie Leipzig, where almost 10,000 fans were present, and also in the game against Chemnitzer FC, which attracted over 9,000 spectators.

A look at the region

To round off the picture, let's take a look at the total numbers in the Regionalliga Nordost for the 2022/2023 season. According to 100prozentmeinverein.de, the total number of viewers was 642,256. Spread over 306 games, this results in an average of 2,099 fans per game. This shows that despite FSV Zwickau's success, many games were well below the league average of only 59.2% of spectator numbers being less than this average.

The average viewer numbers by day of the week are also revealing: on Fridays they were 1,666, Saturdays 2,478 and Sundays 2,163. The FSV also benefits from these trends by achieving high spectator numbers both on Saturday games and on atmospheric match days.

Challenges and flights of fancy

But not everything is going smoothly. The club's lowest attendance was recorded at a home game against Hertha Zehlendorf, showing that the level of spectator attendance can sometimes fluctuate. Nevertheless, FSV Zwickau is one of only nine regional league teams that attract an average of over 5,000 spectators per game, doing good business in a league where competition for viewing times is fierce.

Overall, FSV Zwickau remains an amazing success story in the Regionalliga Nordost, and the loyal fans and high audience response show that the passion for football is alive in Zwickau. Let's look forward to the next games and are curious to see whether the club can continue to maintain the high numbers.
