Top flight football is back this weekend in Germany and we've the perfect team for you to support!
Virtually come with us to Stadium At The Old Forester’s Lodge and discover the joys of 1. FC Union Berlin who take on Bayern Munich on Sunday
The Bundesliga is back and if you need a team while football here and in the UK remains in lockdown look no further than 1. FC Union Berlin who take on Bayern Munich at home at 5pm on Sunday.
Having spent the first 29 years of their existance behind the Antifascistischer Schutzwall in the former communist east of the city, The Iron Ones’ long wait for Teutonic top-tier status ended last May when they beat VfB Stuttgart in the promotion play-offs.
Reverberating to the constant chants of “Osti, Osti, Osti!” their brilliantly named Stadium At The Old Forester’s Lodge is one of the most atmospheric grounds we’ve ever been in. There's nary a prawn sandwich in sight with bratwusrt 'n' beer the regulation fare. Union have impeccable working-class credentials and a so bad he's feckin' brilliant mascot pictured here.
Add in the club anthem being sung by the bonkers Nina Hagen - YouTube her! - and them having a chairman called Dirk Zingler and you’ll understand why we love them so!
