The meaning of the fan march for the community

On Saturday, August 3, the fans of FC Schalke 04, who are known for their passionate support, become a common march for the Veltins-Arena.

The Ultras Gelsenkirchen have announced on their homepage that the fans will meet at 5:30 p.m. on the cathedral plate in Buer. From there you will start the way to the Veltins-Arena together, a distance of a little more than three kilometers. Such marches have become a tradition and help to make the mood among the fans before the first whistle.

The sold -out home game as a sign of support

The upcoming game against Eintracht Braunschweig is not only expected for its sporting importance in the new second division season, but also because the Veltins-Arena is sold out with over 61,000 spectators.

The role of fans in the club identity

The fans are not only spectators, but an integral part of the association. Your tireless support plays an important role, especially in times of sporting challenges. Over a million spectators were present at the last home games, which reflects the deep roots of the club in the region. The upcoming march is not only a celebration of football, but also a commitment to identity and the history of Schalke 04.

What's coming after the Braunschweig game?

After the game against Eintracht Braunschweig, fans can look forward to an exciting time. Schalke 04 will travel to an away game against 1. FC Nürnberg on August 10, followed by further encounters in the DFB Cup and the second division. The anticipation for the upcoming games is noticeable, and the fan march at the start could be the prelude to a hopefully successful season.

In summary, the upcoming fan march is an outstanding example of how sport can bring together the community. It is not only an opportunity to support FC Schalke 04, but also an expression of identity, pride and community values of the fan base.
