Stadium	The city of Wolfsburg is the home to Volkswagen AG's headquarters and little else apart from the football club, which is owned by the company. It is one of the smallest cities in Germany, yet it has the 30,000-capacity Volkswagen Arena located there. Given how few people live there and given that many of them have moved from other parts of Germany with other footballing allegiances, this is always one of the stadiums with the greatest percentage of empty seats. Opened in 2002, this two-tier stadium is very modern and very comfortable. When it is full, the characteristics of the ground can make for a good atmosphere, but the problem is that it is rarely full.
Recent History	It took until 1997 for Wolfsburg to reach the Bundesliga. But, once they did, they never went back down. They have remained a permanent fixture in the German top flight since their promotion, sometimes fighting relegation, sometimes qualifying for Europe and, in one very memorable season, winning the Bundesliga in 2008/09. They have done a very good job at bringing through players, especially considering there isn’t much in the way of a local population. The club opened a new academy in 2008 and have attracted top talents from around the country, regularly winning titles at underage levels and bringing through players for their team and to be sold on.

After a positive start, things went downhill rapidly for Wolfsburg last season. The club decided to stick with Niko Kovac until March, despite a winless run from the middle of December and relegation a distinct possibility. New boss Ralph Hasenhuttl eventually steadied the ship and they finished 12th. Hasenhuttl has had a full pre-season to work with his side to try and get them back challenging at the top end of the table. There hasn’t been a lot of movement in the transfer market, but the Austrian coach is expected to give young players a chance to shine among some more experienced heads. The goalkeeping department needed sprucing up after Koen Casteels moved to the Saudi Pro League. The Belgium stopper has been a great servant to the club, but his form had dropped over the past few seasons. New Polish keeper Kamil Grabara could be the answer after a decent spell at previous club Copenhagen. Marius Muller is also a decent back-up from Schalke. Wolfsburg have also strengthened the forward line with the signing of Mohamed Amoura. The Algerian scored 17 times in the Belgian Pro League last season and should bring pace and energy to the attack, something that was lacking last season. New young talents Bence Dardai and Mathys Angely have bright futures while Kofi Amoako and Manuel Braun have been promoted up to the first-team from the youth. Hasenhuttl should help their development so expect to see them given a chance this coming season. The Wolves have managed to keep the majority of their regulars from last season and that will be a positive, however, new additions in defence and midfield could be needed for them to move up the table.

Target

Wolfsburg will be expected to make big improvements from last season and under Hasenhuttl there is every chance they will. To be challenging for Europe again should be the minimum aim for the club, but slow and steady progress will win the race.
