history

The stadium was opened in 1969, but the Lower Bavarian Youth Games were held here as early as 1968 . The festival weekend for the official inauguration on July 19 and 20, 1969 included a. a six-city fight between the athletes and a friendly game between 1. FC Passau and the then regional league team 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 .

A first highlight in the Dreiflüssestadion was the 2-1 victory of the German youth national team (with Paul Breitner , Uli Hoeneß and Rainer Bonhof ) over the Czechoslovak national soccer team on April 19, 1970 . The game was attended by 14,000 spectators.

The most important event in the history of the venue was the 1972 Olympic football tournament . Four preliminary round and two intermediate round games were played in the Dreiflüssestadion, including two games from the GDR and one game from the German national team .

In 1991 the final of the Fuji Cup between Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen was held here.

In the recent past, it has often hosted U-21 and women's international matches. In 2002, 1. FC Passau played a charity match against FC Bayern Munich in favor of the Passau flood relief. FC Bayern defeated the then national league team 5-0 in front of 10,000 spectators. On July 23, 2011 Munich Bayern played again as part of the Traumspiel campaign in Passau against the two fan clubs Mia san mia from Passau and Red Bulls from Taubenbach. The final score was 16: 2 for Bayern in front of a crowd of 19,000.

Before 2015, the Dreiflüssestadion was on the 56th place of the largest stadiums in Germany and on the 6th place across Bavaria. The stadium capacity of 20,000 spectators was initially reduced to 12,000 in 2015 because the standing room on the north curve was demolished. It had become very dilapidated and renovation was not economically viable. There was a further downsizing of the stadium architecture in 2016; after the demolition of the south stand, the three-river stadium can still accommodate 6,000 spectators.
