The development of the "Uwe Seeler Football Park" and the football legend that gave it its name began almost at the same time. In 1952, the facility was built by the Schleswig-Holstein Football Association and was subsequently operated as the Malente Association Sports School. In 1953, "Uns Uwe" played for Hamburger SV for the first time in a league match at the age of just 17 - thanks to special permission from the DFB. In 1961, Malente also began training under cover and the sports hall was completed. usfp-malente.de/standort/historie
The Uwe Seeler Football Park in Malente was built in 1952 by the Schleswig-Holstein Football Association and operated as a sports association Malente.
It has always served the country as a talent school and training center for footballers and football coaches.
The German national team used the sports school repeatedly as a training camp to prepare for the 1974 and 1990 World Cups.
Over the years, the plant was gradually renovated and expanded. In 2013, the reopening as Uwe Seeler Football Park followed.
The 3-star facility with modern rooms and sports facilities, multifunctional seminar rooms and a new wellness area is used in addition to its function as a training camp for meetings and other celebrations.
However, the focus is still on the promotion of young talent.
