Sports portal

Aachen is a hub for sports: nearly 64,000 athletes stay in shape through some 230 sports clubs, which can be found on this sports portal by selecting their preferred sport. In addition, there are many people who pursue “sports” as a hobby on their own, independently of any clubs. With over 90 sports, gymnastics, and fitness centers, nearly 40 outdoor sports fields—including an athletics stadium—and five swimming pools, Aachen’s sports infrastructure is exceptionally well-equipped. There are numerous private sports centers, tennis, squash, and badminton courts, an ice rink, and a climbing gym. There are also several easily accessible golf courses in the Aachen area. And the Alemannia matches at the Tivoli, the Bundesliga matches of the Ladies in Black, and the annual horse show are the sporting highlights in Aachen.
