The Zentralstadion (Central Stadium), located in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany, is the home of football club RB Leipzig. The club earned promotion to the top tier Bundesliga for the 2016-2017 season.

In 1956 the first Zentralstadion opened, at the time it was the biggest stadium in Germany being able to hold 100,000 spectators. However, over the years it fell in to disuse and was costing the city too much to maintain. In 1997 the city of Leipzig decided to build a new stadium within the old stadium, a modern state of the art stadium only for football. The new stadium was built from December 2000 till March of 2004. The Zentralstadion hosted 4 group matches and 1 round of 16 game in the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
