Waldstadion Nebenplatz 2

Waldstadion Nebenplatz 2 is tucked away in the district of Hasborn-Dautweiler. The surface is artificial turf. The capacity is small, holding just 500 spectators, a number that reflects its purpose as a training ground and a venue for reserve matches. It does not host crowds that spill into the streets; it hosts the players who live in these houses and play for these teams. SV 1920 Rot-Weiß Hasborn-Dautweiler calls the main stadium home, competing in the Saarlandliga. This auxiliary pitch belongs to that same ecosystem. It is where the second team plays its reserve fixtures and where younger players learn the game before they step onto the main stage. The club has been part of the area since 1920, a long history that these smaller grounds support quietly. What makes this place different from any other auxiliary pitch in Germany is its location. It is not near a major city center or a high-speed rail link. It is here, in the quiet of the Saarland, where the wind moves through the trees surrounding the field. The floodlights cut through the darkness, illuminating the artificial grass for players who run until they are tired. It is a functional space, built for practice and preparation, far removed from the glamour of top-flight football but essential to the life of the club. The pitch is used for youth games and training sessions, a constant cycle of development that happens without ceremony.

The venue is identified by its address: Am Waldstadion, 66636 Tholey-Hasborn-Dautweiler. It is one of several venues in Germany with the same name, but this one is distinct in its setting and its role within the local football structure. The lack of a recorded opening date does not diminish its presence; it exists as a working facility, supporting the club’s ambitions week after week.
