Ground
Since 2003 the home games of FCR 2001 Duisburg have been played at the 3,000-capacity PCC Stadium in the Duisburg district of Homberg. They share the stadium with VfB Homberg, a male team currently playing in the Oberliga. Previously FCR played at "Am Waldbronn" in Rumeln-Kaldenhausen. During the 2009/10 season, the club was playing its home games in the UEFA Champions League at the Stadion Niederrhein (Lower Rhine Stadium) in Oberhausen, because the floodlights in the PCC-Stadium did not meet the requirements laid down by UEFA.
