FC Erzgebirge Aue is celebrating its 80th anniversary with a special ceremony at the stadium on March 4. "All venues in the immediate vicinity are limited in their capacity. As a friendly club, however, we don't want to celebrate our anniversary with an elite circle of selected guests, but with all members, fans and partners," said FCE President Thomas Schlesinger in a club press release, "everyone should have the opportunity to congratulate the club and attend the ceremony. That suits us better."
All members, fans and guests will be entertained for around 90 minutes at what the club describes as the "biggest birthday party ever in the Erzgebirge" with a colorful feature-length program, which will end with a large fireworks display at 7:46 pm - 1946 is the year the club was founded.
