Background: The ad hoc arena and the Thüringen Pokal
The Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld at Jena’s Paradiespark is the traditional home ground of FC Carl Zeiss Jena. Following extensive renovation work, the stadium now shines as the modern ad hoc arena and provides a first-class football backdrop for top matches. For local fans, arrival is usually on foot through the Paradiespark or by tram, as parking capacities in the immediate vicinity of the stadium are experience-based limited. Winning the Thüringen Pokal brings, in addition to the regional title, a decisive sporting benefit: The winner automatically qualifies for the first main round of the DFB-Pokal in the coming season. This represents an immense sporting and financial incentive for the participating clubs.
