Rhein-Neckar-Arena (German pronunciation: [ˌʁaɪnˈnɛkaʁʔaˌʁeːna] ⓘ), currently known as PreZero Arena and previously as Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena [ˈvɪʁzɔl-][3] for sponsorship reasons, is a multi-purpose stadium in Sinsheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is used mostly for football matches and hosts the home matches of TSG Hoffenheim. The stadium has a capacity of 30,150 people.[4] It replaced TSG 1899 Hoffenheim's former ground, the Dietmar-Hopp-Stadion.
The stadium is the largest in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan area, although it is situated in a town with only 3,600 inhabitants.
The first competitive match was played on 31 January 2009 against FC Energie Cottbus, and ended in a 2–0 win for Hoffenheim.[5] The stadium hosted international matches at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.[4] The Rhein-Neckar-Arena hosted the "2017 DEL Winter Game", an outdoor ice hockey game between Adler Mannheim and the Schwenningen Wild Wings on 7 January 2017.
