To compensate, Thuringia is sprucing up Blankenhain as another soccer excitement hub for the region, Economics Minister Wolfgang Tiefensee (SPD) announced.
Behind-the-scenes collaborations with the golf resort and Thuringia's state development company have made this possible. Over the coming weeks, several necessary preparations include adjusting the local sports field to match DFB and UEFA requirements, building a media center in Blankenhain Castle, formulating a security concept, and implementing marketing strategies. Tiefensee assured that the state would fork out about a million euros to fund these operations.
