🚗 Away logistics in the daily life of the Regionalliga
Travel and accommodation costs represent a significant expense for Regionalliga clubs. Therefore, trips up to a distance of approximately 300 kilometers are generally organized as day trips. For FC Carl Zeiss Jena, an overnight hotel stay before a match is only planned for the longest away trip to Greifswalder FC this season.
