Stadium	Union Berlin is a unique club and their stadium is a unique stadium. The ground is called Stadion An der Alten Försterei, which in English means Stadium at the Old Forester's House and that’s because it is literally located in the middle of a forest in south-east Berlin. This has been the club’s home since 1920, but there was a major refurbishment carried out in 2009 as fans helped to rebuild the stadium so that it would meet the requirements for promotion to Bundesliga 2. The capacity is 22,000 and four-fifths of this is standing only. With most of the stadium on its feet on a match day, this creates a really unique and boisterous atmosphere.
Recent History	The 2019/20 season is Union Berlin’s first ever campaign in the Bundesliga. They have played at lower levels for most of their history, before establishing themselves as a second-tier side with 10 consecutive seasons in Bundesliga 2 between 2009 and 2019, after which they won promotion in a play-off against Stuttgart. Before that, their biggest footballing success had been reaching the DFB-Pokal final in 2001 even though they were in the third tier. They lost, but that still qualified them for the UEFA Cup.

Union Berlin enjoyed another historic campaign last season, just about missing out on a top four finish by just one point though they did book their place in the Europa League for the first time in their history. Coach Urs Fischer got Berlin playing in an efficient manner and, while they may not have won the hearts of the purists, Berlin did enjoy strong runs both in the league and domestic cup campaigns. They will be missing a couple of first choice players ahead of the new season, though, with starting keeper Andreas Luthe moving to Kaiserslautern while top scorer Taiwo Awoniyi has been sold to Nottingham Forest. Berlin have been fairly busy in the transfer window though majority of their arrivals have been on free transfers. They have managed to snag promising defender Diogo Leite from Porto while Jordan Siebatcheu is expected to replace Awoniyi as the first choice striker. Other notable arrivals include Paul Seguin, Janik Haberer and Morten Thorsby, all of whom will be boosting Fischer's options in the midfield while Jamie Leweling has been signed as the backup striker. With no big names in the squad, Berlin will once again need to rely on their hard work to grind out positive results and, while a top four finish may be a step too far given the quality of the squad, Fischer will be aiming for a repeat of their last season heroics in the next campaign.

Target

Berlin have improved from the last season in each of their three campaigns in the Bundesliga and, while they may have reached their peak, Fischer will be aiming for another push towards in the European qualification spots.
