Hannover 96: Advent calendar full of surprises for fans!
Today, December 1st, 2025, Hannover 96 is ringing in the Advent season with an exciting online Advent calendar that will make fans' hearts beat faster. Great prizes and special surprises await the club's loyal supporters every day. The club, which was founded on April 12, 1896, looks back on a long and proud history and is an integral part of the sporting landscape in Lower Saxony.
The club's tradition is deeply rooted and the motto "¡NUNCA SOLO!", which means "Never alone", aims to underline the close connection between the club and its fans. At a time when community and cohesion seem more important than ever, this saying is particularly relevant. Among Hannover 96's great successes, the German championship in 1938 and winning the DFB Cup in 1992 stand out - a reason to celebrate for the many members of Lower Saxony's largest sports club.
Fascination for the fans
With over 22,000 members and a loyal fan base, Hannover 96 is still very popular. The first men's team has spent the last few years in the 2nd Bundesliga, but always with the goal of returning to the Bundesliga. Particularly the Europa League participation in the 2011/12 season, where the team reached the quarter-finals, and in the 2012/13 season, where they were eliminated in the round of 16, left lasting memories for the fans.
Hannover 96's home games take place in the Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena, which has a capacity of 49,000 spectators. This arena has not only shaped the club's history, but has also been the venue for important international events, such as the 1974 and 2006 FIFA World Cups and the UEFA Euro 1988. With such an impressive backdrop, every visit becomes an unforgettable experience.
The rivalry and the comebacks
Another exciting aspect of the club's history is the rivalry with Eintracht Braunschweig, which culminates in the Lower Saxony derby. Games against this neighbor are always a special highlight for the fans and bring emotions to a boil.
The history of Hannover 96 is not only marked by successes, but also by setbacks. The club was dissolved after the Second World War, but found new life again in 1946. In 1963, with the founding of the Bundesliga, a new era began for the club, which by 2019 had spent a total of 30 seasons in Germany's highest league. Despite financial bottlenecks in the 1970s and 1990s, the club has repeatedly recovered and stabilized, for example with the DFB Cup victory in 1992, which led the team out of the crisis.
As you can see, Hannover 96 is more than just a football club; it is an institution with an impressive history and a strong community. The online Advent calendar ensures that fans' support is not neglected during this festive period and increases anticipation for the challenges ahead. Further information is available on the official Hannover 96 website and social media and invites all fans to become part of this fascinating journey.
