Hoffenheim

TSG Hoffenheim, founded in 1899, is a German football club based in Sinsheim, Baden-Württemberg. The club's remarkable rise from the lower divisions to the Bundesliga was bankrolled by software billionaire Dietmar Hopp, a former youth player at the club. Under coach Julian Nagelsmann, then the Bundesliga's youngest ever manager at 28, Hoffenheim qualified for the Champions League in 2017. The club plays at the PreZero Arena, a 30,000-capacity stadium. Hoffenheim is known for its innovative approach to football, including being one of the first clubs to fully embrace data analytics and sports science. The club has developed talents like Niklas Süle, Sebastian Rudy, and Kerem Demirbay.
