fan march as a community experience

The Ultras Gelsenkirchen have set a fan march for this special day, which begins on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. on the cathedral plate in Buer. From there, the supporters of FC Schalke 04 will cover around three kilometers to the arena. This march is more than just a walk - it is an opportunity for fans to express their support for the team visually and loudly before the game begins at 8:30 p.m.

large number of spectators expected

The home game against Eintracht Braunschweig will be sold out with over 61,000 spectators. This underlines the passionate support of the fans, who, despite the sporting challenges of last season, continue to be their club. Already last season, the Schalke fans achieved an impressive world record in the second division with a section of 61,497 in the Veltins Arena, which reflects the emotional binding and the unshakable backing of this fan base.

After the excited home game against Eintracht Braunschweig, Schalke 04 continues. On August 10, an away game against 1. FC Nürnberg is on the game plan, followed by two further away games in the DFB Cup against VfR Aalen and in the league against 1. FC Magdeburg. The next home games will only take place in September when the 1. FC Köln is a guest in the Veltins-Arena.
