Hoffenheim's stadium will no longer be named the WIRSOL Rhein-Neckar-Arena as the name of the ground will be changed for the second half of the season, Kicker understands.

Instead, Hoffenheim's home ground will apparently be known as the PreZero Arena. The decision is set to be announced at a press conference on Wednesday.

WIRSOL - an energy company with headquarters in Waghäusel, Germany - has been the name sponsor of the stadium for seven and a half years.

Pre Zero is the trademark of a subsidiary under the Schwarz Group who owns discount supermarket chain Lidl.
