The club has paid tribute to its Roman roots with a tunnel inspired by the city’s ancient amphitheatres.

The gates to the tunnel have drawn inspiration from amphitheatres in the Eternal City and Verona and features several aspects of the club’s badge.

Its walls have been stunningly designed to appear as if they’ve been covered in ancient Roman stones and have been laid out in a pattern befitting the time period.

The stones are beautifully highlighted by accent lights and an illuminated club badge.

A beautiful mosaic pattern comprised of Italian stones makes up the midway point of the tunnel, which the club proudly showed off on social media.

Augsburg CEO Michael Stroll said of the revamp: “We’ve long spoken about our desire to modernise our players’ tunnel.

“Our previous tunnel was functional, but didn’t really catch the eye.
