Cashless payments become standard
In the age of digitalisation and the increasing use of electronic forms of payment, Ronhof Sportpark in Fürth has decided to adapt to modern trends by introducing cashless payments at all catering kiosks. From the first home game of the new season, fans can now forget about having to carry cash and instead pay with a card, smartphone or smartwatch.
People are increasingly starting to use the convenience of cashless payments in their lives, for example. In anticipation of the world's best leagues, fans are reaching for online entertainment.

The new payment system was launched during Greuther Fürth's meeting with Preußen Münster on Sunday, August 4. Collaboration with local bank Sparkasse Fürth and catering company Keepers & Cooks has resulted in the creation of a modern infrastructure that allows food and drink to be paid for quickly and conveniently at the 38 new ticket offices in the stadium.
Comfort and speed of service
The decision to implement cashless payments was a response to the changing needs of fans. More and more people are no longer carrying cash, relying mainly on payment cards and mobile devices. Thanks to this new solution, waiting times in queues have been significantly reduced, allowing fans to focus on what matters most - supporting their team.
According to Sparkasse, cashless payments at the stadium not only speed up service, but also bring hygiene benefits. The elimination of cash, which passes through many hands, reduces the risk of transmitting bacteria and viruses.
Management and fans satisfied
The Greuther Fürth club management enthusiastically welcomed the introduction of modern solutions at Ronhof Stadium. Holger Schwiewagner, the club's managing director, emphasised in an official press release that expanding the range of services available at the stadium is a priority. We are pleased that payments at the catering kiosks will also be cashless in the future
said Schwiewagner.
Prior to the full implementation of the system, a number of tests were carried out to ensure that all elements were working smoothly and without disruption. The results of the tests proved so satisfactory that the decision was made to launch the system at the beginning of the season. Sparkasse points out, however, that the traditional form of payment, such as cash, remains available, thus giving fans full freedom of choice.
Future of stadiums: Cashless payments as standard
The introduction of cashless payments at Ronhof Stadium is a step towards a future that seems to be increasingly cashless. More and more sports venues, not only in Germany but around the world, are opting for similar solutions, seeing them as a way to improve fan comfort and increase service efficiency.
Is this a trend that will become a permanent fixture in stadiums? All signs point to yes. Ronhof Stadium, which has been a venue for thousands of fans for years, now offers even more, meeting the expectations of the modern sports fan. An example of another stadium in Germany that has also introduced cashless payments is Allianz Arena in Munich, where fans have been able to enjoy similar facilities for several seasons, further confirming the growing trend in the German sports scene.
