Newcastle United vs 1. FC Union Berlin Tickets

Newcastle United and Union Berlin are two much-loved football clubs with distinct histories, gearing up for a historic meeting at St James’ Park.

Always backed by their loyal supporters, Newcastle United is a club that endured a remarkably long trophy drought. Their last major title was won in 1955, beating Manchester City 3-1 in the FA Cup final. However, they have celebrated moments of European glory, triumphing in the now-defunct Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969 and the Intertoto Cup in 2006.

Newcastle’s appearances in the UEFA Champions League have been sporadic, including notable entries in the 1997/98, 2002/03, and 2023/24 seasons. Since the Saudi takeover in 2021, Newcastle is a club aiming for the very top once again. The thrifty days under Mike Ashley are behind them and Newcastle are now one of the richest clubs in the world. Under the guidance of manager Eddie Howe, the Magpies clinched fourth spot in the 2022/23 Premier League season, thus ending their 21-year absence in the UEFA Champions League.

Union Berlin is a club that has never won a major trophy in its entire history. In recent years, the club embarked on a remarkable journey, working their way up through the German leagues before making their Bundesliga debut in 2019. Union Berlin has swiftly established itself as a competitive presence in the Bundesliga, and deservedly secured their spot in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League group stage.
