Werder Bremen prepare for special celebrations marking Weserstadion’s 100th birthday

Werder Bremen are gearing up for a special celebration marking the 100th birthday of their Weserstadion on Saturday. The Bundesliga home match against SC Paderborn will feature a commemorative program of festivities. The occasion commemorates the stadium's original opening on October 17, 1926. Werder has already organized several commemorative events, including a special legends match against Real Madrid in September.

Saturday's match will see the team wearing a distinctive commemorative kit. Werder aims to secure a third consecutive home victory in the centenary celebrations. Beyond football, the celebrations have included historical exhibitions, stadium tours, and other activities highlighting the club, city, and River Weser relationship. One prominent event took place on September 26 when former stars faced a Real Madrid legends selection, winning 4-3.

The club will unveil a special white anniversary kit for the match, marking a departure from their traditional green-and-white colors. The Weserstadion holds significance not only for football but also for the city and its residents, with a century of football history at the venue.
