The German Football Association (DFB) has decided to reintroduce standing tickets for matches of its national teams, after more than 25 years without this option. This measure will apply to games for the men's team, as well as the women's and U21 teams.

According to reports, the sale of these standing tickets will begin next month in September. This initiative follows a trend in several European countries that have allowed fans to stand in their stadiums.

The return of standing tickets has been well received by part of the fan base, who have expressed their desire to revive the experience of cheering for their team from standing areas, a hallmark of football culture in Germany.

This decision marks a significant shift in the ticketing policy of the DFB, which has made it a norm to avoid these configurations in recent years.
