The German Football Association (DFB) has decided to offer standing areas for international matches again after more than 25 years. This decision was made on Tuesday and will be implemented during Jürgen Klopp's home debut as national coach.

By reintroducing standing tickets, the DFB aims to provide fans with a more affordable way to experience the national team live. The last standing areas were removed from stadiums in the 1990s.
