The Sportclub Arena was built in 1994 following SC Verl's qualification for the newly created
Regionalliga West/Südwest. The stadium was built to fulfill the requirements of the
DFB at the time. Following nearly 25 years of participation in the Regionalliga, Verl was promoted to the 3. Liga in the
2019-20 season. The Sportclub Arena did not meet the requirements to be Verl's home ground after their promotion from the
Regionalliga West to the 3. Liga, and the club was forced to carry out its home matches in
Lotte at the
Stadion am Lotter Kreuz. During the
2022-23 season, SC Verl played its home matches in
Home Deluxe Arena in
Paderborn. The DFB announced that starting in the
2023-24 season the minimum required capacity of 3. Liga stadiums would be reduced from 10,001 to 5,001, as a part of the DFB's "3. Liga Economic Task Force". After this announcement, renovation works began in 2022 to bring the ground up to 3. Liga standards. These works cost roughly 8 million euros, and included the installation of undersoil heating and floodlight upgrades. == Records ==
