A BUNDESLIGA club unveiled its stunning new-look tunnel ahead of their clash with champions Bayern Munich last month.
FC Augsburg have been renovating their tunnel for the last few months as part of a desperately-needed refurb.
And the new-look tunnel players will walk out of going forward is truly a sight to behold.
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.
“The results of the renovation are impressive.
“Our new players’ tunnel features a stylish, detailed design and is a perfect fit for our club.
“There’s no doubt in our minds that we now have one of the best-looking players’ tunnels in the Bundesliga.”
St Pauli will be the next away team to have the Roman tunnel experience when they travel the WWK Arena a week on Sunday.
