Holstein-Stadion is a stadium in the port city of Kiel in northern Germany. It is the home of football club Holstein Kiel, who currently play in Germany's Bundesliga.
In 2005, the DFB ruled that the old stadium did not meet the body's minimal stadium requirements, claiming the stadium was no longer fit for football and was in desperate need of a substantial makeover. Failure to make the required upgrades would rule the club ineligible to play in the 2. Bundesliga or potentially result in the DFB revoking Holstein Kiel's license entirely. In 2006, the city government and team officials subsequently developed a plan to provide €1.6 million towards the renovation of the stadium.
