Bremen fans protest against stadium rename

DURING their German Cup game against Borussia Dortmund last week, Werder Bremen supporters continued protests against the renaming of their Weserstadion home.

Since July last year the stadium has been officially renamed the Wohninvest Weserstadion to include the sponsor, a property company based in Fellbach near Stuttgart.

Fans unfurled a large banner in the Ostkurve which read: “Weserstadion,” with the words “do you still recognise them all,” underneath.
