The PSD Bank Arena (formerly known as Stadion am Bornheimer Hang) is a multi-use stadium in Bornheim, a district of Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and is best accessed by the Johanna-Tesch-Platz U-Bahn station (which is located on territory of the district Riederwald), or (for away fans) the Eissporthalle/Festplatz station. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of FSV Frankfurt and occasionally used to host 1. FFC Frankfurt (now Eintracht Frankfurt). With its capacity of 12.542 it is the second largest venue in the city of Frankfurt am Main.

The inaugurational game was played on 11 October 1931, when FSV Frankfurt defeated VfL Germania 1894, 3–0.[1]

Since 2015 the stadium is also used by the Frankfurt Universe, an American football team playing in the German Football League.[2]

The stadium was host to the Kosovo national football team's first fully recognised international; a 2–0 win over the Faroe Islands on 3 June 2016.[3]

Beginning with the inaugural season of the new European League of Football, the Frankfurt Galaxy played all their home games at the stadium.

On 24 March 2023, the PSD Bank Arena was host to the Under 21 friendly between Germany and Japan. It ended 2-2.
