HYLO® ETTU Champions League Men Final 4: Everything spectators need to know in Saarbrücken

The countdown is almost over. On 16 and 17 May, the Saarlandhalle in Saarbrücken hosts once again the HYLO ETTU Champions League Men Final 4, where four of Europe’s strongest clubs will battle for the biggest title in European club table tennis. Host club 1. FC Saarbrücken TT will once again enjoy home support in what promises to be another unforgettable weekend of elite table tennis.

Alongside world-class action on the table, spectators can expect a full entertainment program, fan activities, music, and a vibrant Final 4 atmosphere inside the Saarlandhalle, which will welcome around 3,300 spectators. DJ PIROCCO and event host Alexander MEHL will lead the entertainment program, while fans will also be able to participate in match predictions and quizzes powered by proWIN Winter GmbH.

Venue opening times

For spectators attending the event, access to the venue opens:

  • 16 May – from 10:30 AM
  • 17 May – from 12:00 PM

VIP access to the venue

  • 16 May – from 10:30 AM
  • 17 May – from 12:00 PM

Visitors are advised to have either printed tickets or QR codes ready upon arrival in order to speed up entry procedures.

Important travel and parking information for Saturday

Due to the football match taking place at the same time, parking directly at the Saarlandhalle will unfortunately not be possible on Saturday.

We therefore kindly ask all VIP guests to travel by public transport wherever possible and to allow sufficient extra time for their journey. We recommend that all guests arrive at the Saarlandhalle by 10:30 a.m. at the latest in order to avoid waiting times at the entrance.

Please note that Camphauser Straße is expected to be fully closed in both directions from approximately 10:30 a.m., and no later than 11:00 a.m. This closure will also affect arrival and departure traffic on Camphauser Straße above the road “An der Saarlandhalle”. Parking in the upper section of Camphauser Straße will not be possible.

According to the latest information available, pedestrian access will also be affected. Access to the Saarlandhalle will therefore only be possible via the residential area at Rodenhof. From “An der Saarlandhalle”, visitors will continue on foot to the Saarlandhalle.

A section of Ziegelstraße is accessible by car; the remaining route must be continued on foot. Ottweilerstraße is accessible by car up to the transition at “An der Saarlandhalle”. Street parking is available along Ottweilerstraße, Ziegelstraße, and Jägersfreuder Straße, subject to availability.

When parking in the Rodenhof area, however, please proceed with caution, as the residents’ parking protection concept (“Anwohnerschutzkonzept”) applies there. In certain areas, parking is only permitted with a residents’ parking permit. These areas are clearly indicated by traffic signs.

In addition, short-term road closures in the area of Ludwigskreisel cannot be ruled out. This may lead to delays, so please take this into account when planning your arrival.

Furthermore, we strongly recommend putting on any fan merchandise or FCS fan clothing only after entering the venue, as encounters with away fans in the vicinity of the football match could potentially lead to unpleasant situations.

These police measures are necessary to ensure the safest and smoothest possible running of the events. We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.
