Leinfelden-Echterdingen – Daimler Buses is playing with an extra man. More than half of the football Bundesliga clubs will be using a vehicle from the Setra or Mercedes‑Benz brands of Daimler Buses as their team bus in the upcoming 2025/2026 season – both in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga.

Depending on the requirements of each club, the vehicles feature, among other things, leather seats with footrests and leg supports, vis à vis seating groups, height-adjustable club tables, and luxury on board kitchens with refrigerator and fully automatic coffee machine. With modern multimedia systems, the first match analyses can begin shortly after the final whistle – all in a thoroughly relaxed atmosphere.

Comprehensive safety and driver assistance systems ensure that players, support staff, and coaches can travel not only in comfort but also as safely and healthily as possible to the total of 36 match venues across Germany week after week.

The team buses are provided primarily by private bus companies – in some cases, for decades.
