Repairs Completed for Hamburger SV Roof Ahead of Bundesliga Match

Hamburger SV has officially announced that repairs to the roof of the Volkspark Stadion have been completed, allowing this weekend’s Bundesliga match against Borussia Mönchengladbach to take place as planned. However, the home fixture against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday had to be postponed due to drainage issues with the retractable roof.

On Thursday, officials from HSV confirmed that the problems had been addressed. A dedicated team worked on the two affected sections of the roof and successfully restored the main catwalk to its proper position. Although some snow remains on the roof, rising temperatures in the coming days are expected to facilitate normal drainage.

Daniel Nolte, the stadium director, expressed optimism in a club statement, saying, “We are very pleased that the situation has eased thanks to the targeted work of a team working up top and the warming temperatures over the next few days. No lasting damage has been found. The remaining snow on the roof will now melt as planned in the next few days and drain away normally.”
