A great card of the Weserstadion in Bremen. The Weserstadion was first
built in 1947 and has been renovated four times - 1963-65; 1989, 2005, 2008-12. It used to have an oval for track and field, but it was removed in the last renovation. For league matches, the stadium can hold 42 100 people, but when it hosts international games, attendance is limited to 37 441.

Weserstadion is home to Werder Bremen who play in the Bundesliga. Werder Bremen was founded in 1899. Werder Bremen has been the German champions four times, the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) six times, and the DFL-Supercup (winner of the Bundesliga vs the winner of the DFB-Pokal) once. They also won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1991-92, and were the runner-up in the 2008-09 UEFA Cup.

The current squad has players from Czech Republic, Belgium, Denmark, Poland, Serbia, Guinea, Colombia, Austria, and, of course, about half of the team is from Germany.

Local residents tried to stop the convoy on their own by blocking tank tracks with makeshift objects and convincing Russian soldiers not to move towards Kyiv . One man attempted to climb onto a tank and block the road with his body (he was not hurt). However, the military equipment continued to move, and Russian forces fired several shots into the air.
