Sports portal

Aachen is a sporty place: almost 64,000 athletes keep fit in around 230 sports clubs, which can be found in this sports portal via the desired sport. Then there are the many people who pursue their hobby of sport independently of clubs. With over 90 sports, gymnastics and exercise halls, almost 40 open-air sports grounds - including an athletics stadium - and five swimming pools, Aachen's sports landscape is outstanding. There are numerous private sports centers, tennis, squash and badminton courts, an ice rink and a climbing hall. There are also several easily accessible golf courses around Aachen. And the Alemannia games at the Tivoli, the Bundesliga games of the Ladies in Black and the annual horse show are the sporting highlights in Aachen.
