Volksparkstadion is a football stadium near Altona in Hamburg, Germany that is the home ground of the football team Hamburger SV. Replacing a stadium of the same name, it was constructed from 1998 to 2000 at a cost of €90,000,000. The capacity of the stadium is 57,000, which can be converted into an all-seater capacity of 51,055 by converting the standing-room section in the north into a seating area. It also has 50 corporate boxes.

Due to naming rights, the stadium has had three corporate-sponsored names: AOL Arena (2001-2007), HSH Nordbank Arena (2007-2010), and Imtech Arena (2010-present). The stadium is also referred to as Hamburg Arena by UEFA. The HSV-Museum, opened in 2004, is inside the Volksparkstadion.

The Volksparkstadion hosted four group matches and a quarter-final of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. It also hosted the 2010 UEFA Europa League Final.
