Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund, founded on 19 December 1909 by working-class men from the Borsigplatz neighbourhood in the Ruhr Valley, play at the iconic Signal Iduna Park — the largest stadium in Germany with an 81,000 capacity and the legendary 24,000-standing Yellow Wall. The club has won eight Bundesliga titles, including back-to-back crowns in 2011 and 2012 under Jürgen Klopp, and won the UEFA Champions League in 1997 by defeating Juventus. Known for their counter-pressing philosophy and a model of identifying and selling elite talent, Dortmund have launched the careers of Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembélé, and Jude Bellingham. Their gold-and-black identity and ferocious supporter culture make them one of the most recognisable clubs in world football.
