Riders and Alemannia Aachen guests in the "aktuellen sportstudio" - ZDF broadcasting live from the FEI World Equestrian Games - tickets still available

Advanced sales began a few days ago and the demand for "aktuelle sportstudio" tickets is high, because the ZDF is broadcasting live from the show grounds in Aachen on Saturday, August 19th, to mark the opening of the FEI World Equestrian Games. This is the second largest sporting event that Germany will experience this decade and it will attract over 800 sportsmen and women in seven disciplines and 500,000 visitors from all over the world to the Soers in Aachen from August 20th - September 3rd.

When the programme begins in the Deutsche Bank Stadium at 10 p.m. not only the equestrian athletes are going to be there, but also the football / soccer players of Alemannia Aachen - just a few hours before the first home game of the black and yellow team that has been playing in division one for around 36 years. Tickets for the programme can be ordered from the telephone hotline on +49-(0)241-917-1111 for the price of 5 Euros and will also be available from the Alemannia fan shop from Friday onwards. "We are delighted that we are able to jointly celebrate the opening of the FEI World Equestrian Games and Alemannia's home debut against Schalke," says Michael Mronz, spokesman and member of the WEG OC. "This is an important day for the region, but also for the fans throughout Germany."

Alemannia Aachen's entire team and squad of trainers are intending to pay a visit to the WEG and the "aktuellen sportstudio", according to Alemannia Manager, Jörg Schmadtke, "regardless of who the actual official studio guests are going to be. We namely enjoy very good relations with our neighbours at the ALRV." After all, the new Alemannia stadium is going to be erected right next to the show grounds of the WEG organisers, the Aachen-Laurensberger Rennverein (ALRV), and the clubs are planning a joint Soers Sports Park. First class equestrian sport and first class football in Aachen just a stone's throw away from each other.
