History
Foundation and early years
The club was founded on 19 December 1909 by a group of young men unhappy with the
Catholic church-sponsored Trinity Youth, where they played football under the stern and
unsympathetic eye of the local parish priest. The priest, Father Dewald was blocked at the Home colours Away colours Cup / Europe
door when he tried to break up the organising meeting being held in a room of the local colours
pub, Zum Wildschütz. The founders were Franz and Paul Braun, Henry Cleve,
Hans Debest, Paul Dziendzielle, Franz, Julius and Wilhelm Jacobi, Hans Kahn,
Gustav Müller, Franz Risse, Fritz Schulte, Hans Siebold, August Tönnesmann,
Heinrich and Robert Unger, Fritz Weber and Franz Wendt. The name Borussia is
Latin for Prussia but was taken from Borussia beer from the nearby Borussia
brewery in Dortmund.[13] The team began playing in blue and white striped shirts
with a red sash, and black shorts. In 1913, they donned the black and yellow
stripes so familiar today.
Borussia Dortmund in 1913
Over the next decades the club enjoyed only modest success playing in local
leagues. They had a brush with bankruptcy in 1929 when an attempt to boost the
club's fortunes by signing some paid professional footballers failed miserably and left the team deep in debt. They survived only through
the generosity of a local supporter who covered the team's shortfall out of his own pocket.
The 1930s saw the rise of the Third Reich, which restructured sports and football organisations throughout the nation to suit the
regime's goals. Borussia's president was replaced when he refused to join the Nazi Party, and a couple of members who surreptitiously
used the club's offices to produce anti-Nazi pamphlets were executed in the last days of the war. The club did have greater success in the
newly established Gauliga Westfalen, but would have to wait until after the Second World War to make a breakthrough. It was during
this time that Borussia developed its intense rivalry with Schalke 04 of suburban Gelsenkirchen, the most successful side of the era (see
Revierderby). Like every other organisation in Germany, Borussia was dissolved by the Allied occupation authorities after the war in an
attempt to distance the country's institutions from its so-recent Nazi past. There was a short-lived attempt to merge the club with two
others – Werksportgemeinschaft Hoesch and Freier Sportverein 98 – as Sportgemeinschaft Borussia von 1898, but it was as Ballspiel-
Verein Borussia (BVB) that they made their first appearance in the national league final in 1949, where they lost 2–3 to VfR Mannheim.
First national titles
Between 1946 and 1963, Borussia featured in the Oberliga West, a

first division league which dominated German football through the
late 1950s. In 1949, Borussia reached the final in Stuttgart against
VfR Mannheim, which they lost 2–3 after extra time. The club
claimed its first national title in 1956 with a 4–2 win against
Karlsruher SC. One year later, Borussia defeated Hamburger SV 4–
1 to win their second national title. After this coup, the three Historical chart of Borussia Dortmund league performance
Alfredos (Alfred Preißler, Alfred Kelbassa and Alfred Niepieklo)
were legends in Dortmund. In 1963, Borussia won the last edition of
the German Football Championship (before the introduction of the new Bundesliga) to secure their third national title.
Bundesliga debut
In 1962, the DFB met in Dortmund and voted to establish a professional football league in Germany, to begin play in August 1963 as the
Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund earned its place among the first sixteen clubs to play in the league by winning the last pre-Bundesliga
national championship. Runners-up 1. FC Köln also earned an automatic berth. Dortmund's Friedhelm Konietzka scored the first-ever
Bundesliga goal a minute into the match, which they would eventually lose 2–3 to Werder Bremen.
In 1965, Dortmund captured its first DFB-Pokal. In 1966, Dortmund won the European Cup Winners' Cup 2–1 against Liverpool in
extra time, with the goals coming from Sigfried Held and Reinhard Libuda. In the same year, however, the team surrendered a
commanding position atop the Bundesliga by losing four of their last five league games and finishing second, three points behind
champions 1860 München. Ironically, much of 1860 München's success came on the strength of the play of Konietzka, recently
transferred from Dortmund.
The 1970s were characterised by financial problems, relegation from the Bundesliga in 1972, and the opening of the Westfalenstadion,
named after its home region Westphalia in 1974. The club earned its return to Bundesliga in 1976.
Dortmund continued to have financial problems through the 1980s. BVB avoided being relegated in 1986 by winning a third decisive
playoff game against Fortuna Köln after finishing the regular season in 16th place. Dortmund did not enjoy any significant success again
until a 4–1 DFB-Pokal win in 1989 against Werder Bremen. It was Horst Köppel's first trophy as a manager. Dortmund then won the
1989 DFL-Supercup 4–3 against rivals Bayern Munich.
Golden age – the 1990s
After a tenth-place finish in the Bundesliga in 1991, manager Horst Köppel was let go and manager Ottmar Hitzfeld was hired.
In 1992, Hitzfeld led Borussia Dortmund to a second-place finish in the Bundesliga, and would have won the title had VfB Stuttgart not
won their last game to become champions instead.
Along with a fourth-place finish in the Bundesliga, Dortmund made it to the 1993 UEFA Cup final, which they lost 6–1 on aggregate to
Juventus. In spite of this result, Borussia walked away with DM25 million under the prize money pool system in place at the time for
German sides participating in the Cup. Cash flush, Dortmund was able to sign players who later brought them numerous honours in the
1990s.
Under the captaincy of 1996 European Footballer of the Year Matthias Sammer, Borussia Dortmund won back-to-back Bundesliga titles
in 1995 and 1996. Dortmund also won the DFL-Supercup against Mönchengladbach in 1995 and 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 1996.
In 1996–97 the team reached its first European Cup final. In a memorable match at the Olympiastadion in Munich, Dortmund faced the
holders Juventus. Karl-Heinz Riedle put Dortmund ahead, shooting under goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi from a cross by Paul Lambert.
Riedle then made it two with a bullet header from a corner kick. In the second half, Alessandro Del Piero pulled one back for Juventus
with a back heel. Then 20-year-old substitute and local boy Lars Ricken latched onto a through pass by Andreas Möller. Only 16 seconds
after coming on to the pitch, Ricken chipped Peruzzi in the Juventus goal from over 20 yards out with his first touch of the ball. With
Zinedine Zidane unable to make an impression for Juventus against the close marking of Lambert,[14][15][16] Dortmund lifted the trophy
with a 3–1 victory.
Dortmund then beat Brazilian club Cruzeiro 2–0 in the 1997 Intercontinental Cup final to become world club champions.[17] Borussia
Dortmund were the second German club to win the Intercontinental Cup, after Bayern Munich in 1976.[18]
As defending champions, Dortmund reached the Champions League semi-final in 1998. The team was missing key players from the start
of the season when they played Real Madrid in the '98 semi. Sammer's career was shortened by injury and only played three first team
games after the Champions League win. Lambert had left in November to return to play in Scotland. Möller missed the first leg as did
Kohler who missed both games in the tie. Real won the first leg 2–0 at home. Dortmund played better in the second leg, but did not take
their chances. The club exited 2–0 on aggregate.[19]
21st century and Borussia "goes public"
In October 2000, Borussia Dortmund became the first publicly traded club on the
German stock market.[20]
In 2002, Borussia Dortmund won their third Bundesliga title. Dortmund had a
remarkable run at the end of the season to overtake Bayer Leverkusen, securing
the title on the final day. Manager Matthias Sammer became the first person in
Borussia Dortmund history to win the Bundesliga as both a player and
Borussia Dortmund in 2007
manager.[21] In the same season, Borussia lost the final of the 2001–02 UEFA Cup
to the Dutch club Feyenoord.
Dortmund's fortunes then steadily declined for a number of years. Poor financial management led to a heavy debt load and the sale of
their Westfalenstadion grounds. The situation was compounded by failure to advance in the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League, when
the team was eliminated on penalties in the qualifying rounds by Club Brugge. In 2003, Bayern Munich loaned €2 million to Dortmund
for several months to pay their payroll. Borussia was again driven to the brink of bankruptcy in 2005, the original €11 value of its shares
having plummeted by over 80% on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
At this time Hans-Joachim Watzke was appointed CEO and streamlined the club. The response to the crisis included a 20% pay cut for
all players.[22] In 2006, in order to reduce debt, the Westfalenstadion was renamed "Signal Iduna Park" after a local insurance
company. The naming rights agreement runs until 2021.
Dortmund suffered a miserable start to the 2005–06 season, but rallied to finish seventh. The club was unable gain a place in the UEFA
Cup via the Fair Play draw. The club's management recently indicated that the club again showed a profit; this was largely related to the
sale of David Odonkor to Real Betis and Tomáš Rosický to Arsenal.
In the 2006–07 season, Dortmund unexpectedly faced serious relegation trouble for the first time in years. Dortmund went through
three coaches, and appointed Thomas Doll on 13 March 2007, after dropping to just one point above the relegation zone. Christoph
Metzelder also left Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer.
In the 2007–08 season, Dortmund lost to many smaller Bundesliga clubs. Despite finishing 13th in the Bundesliga table, Dortmund
reached the DFB-Pokal final against Bayern Munich, where they lost 2–1 in extra time. The final appearance qualified Dortmund for the
UEFA Cup, because Bayern had already qualified for the Champions League. Thomas Doll resigned on 19 May 2008 and was replaced
by Jürgen Klopp.
Klopp era and return to prominence
In the 2009–10 season, Klopp's Dortmund improved on the season before, finishing fifth in the
Bundesliga to qualify for the UEFA Europa League. The team missed an opportunity to qualify for
the Champions League when they did not beat eighth-place VfL Wolfsburg and 14th-place SC
Freiburg in the final two matches of the campaign.
Entering the 2010–11 season, Dortmund fielded a young and vibrant roster. On 4 December 2010,
Borussia became Herbstmeister ("Autumn Champion"), an unofficial accolade going to the league
leader at the winter break. They did this three matches before the break, sharing the record for
Borussia Dortmund players
having achieved this earliest with Eintracht Frankfurt (1993–94) and 1. FC Kaiserslautern (1997–
celebrate winning the Bundesliga in
98).[23] On 30 April 2011, the club beat 1. FC Nürnberg 2–0 at home, while second-place Bayer
2011.
Leverkusen lost, leaving Dortmund eight points clear with two games to play. This championship
equalled the seven national titles held by rivals Schalke 04, and guaranteed a spot in the 2011–12
Champions League group stages.[24]
One year later, Dortmund successfully defended of its Bundesliga title with a win over Borussia Mönchengladbach, again on the 32nd
match day. By the 34th and final match day, Dortmund had set a new record with the most points—81—gained by a club in one
Bundesliga season.[25][26] This was surpassed the following season by Bayern Munich's 91 points.[27] The club's eighth championship
places it third in total national titles, and players will now wear two stars over their uniform crest in recognition of the team's five
Bundesliga titles. Notable names from the winning roster include Lucas Barrios, Mario Götze, Neven Subotić, Mats Hummels, Robert
Lewandowski, Shinji Kagawa, Łukasz Piszczek, Jakub Błaszczykowski, Kevin Großkreutz, Ivan Perišić and İlkay Gündoğan. The club
capped its successful 2011–12 season by winning the double for the first time, beating Bayern 5–2 in the final of the DFB-Pokal.
Borussia Dortmund are one of four German clubs to win the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double, along with Bayern Munich, 1. FC Köln
and Werder Bremen.[28] The club was voted Team of the Year 2011 at the annual Sportler des Jahres (German Sports Personality of the
Year) awards.
Borussia Dortmund ended the 2012–13 season in second place in the Bundesliga. Dortmund played in their second UEFA Champions
League final against Bayern Munich in the first ever all-German club final at Wembley Stadium on 25 May 2013, which they lost 2–1.[29]
In the 2013–14 season, Borussia Dortmund won the 2013 DFL-Supercup 4–2 against rivals Bayern Munich.[30] The 2013–14 season
started with a five-game winning streak for Dortmund, their best start to a season. Despite such a promising start, however, their season
was hampered by injuries to several key players, seeing them stoop as low as fourth place in the table, and with a depleted squad could
go only as far as the quarter-finals of the Champions League, losing 3–2 on aggregate to Real
Madrid. Nevertheless, Dortmund ended their season on a high note by finishing second in the
Bundesliga and reaching the 2014 DFB-Pokal final, losing 0–2 to Bayern in extra time.[31] They then
began their 2014–15 season by defeating Bayern in the 2014 DFL-Supercup 2–0. However, this
victory did not affect the squad's solidity in performance at the start of the ensuing season, with
Dortmund recording various results such as a 0–1 loss to Hamburger SV and two 2–2 draws against
VfB Stuttgart and Bundesliga newcomers Paderborn 07.[32] During the winter, Dortmund fell to the
bottom of the table on multiple occasions, but escaped the relegation zone after four consecutive Borussia Dortmund fans at
wins in February.[33] On 15 April 2015, Jürgen Klopp announced that after seven years, he would be Wembley Stadium during the 2013
leaving Dortmund.[34] Four days later, Dortmund announced that Thomas Tuchel would replace Champions League final
Klopp at the end of the season.[35] Klopp's final season, however, ended on high note, rising and
finishing seventh after facing relegation, gaining a DFB-Pokal final with VfL Wolfsburg and
qualifying for the 2015–16 Europa League.
Post-Klopp era
In the 2015–16 season, Dortmund started off on a high, winning 4–0 against Borussia Mönchengladbach on the opening day, followed
by five-straight wins which took them to the top of the Bundesliga. After the eighth matchday, they were surpassed by Bayern Munich
following an unlucky draw with 1899 Hoffenheim.[36][37] Dortmund kept their performances up, winning 24 out of 34 league games and
becoming the best Bundesliga runner-up team of all time.[38] In the Europa League, they advanced to the quarter-finals, getting
knocked out by a Jürgen Klopp-led Liverpool in a dramatic comeback at Anfield, where defender Dejan Lovren scored a late goal to
make it 4–3 to the Reds and 5–4 on aggregate.[39] In the 2015–16 DFB-Pokal, for the third-straight year, Dortmund made it to the
competition final, but lost to Bayern Munich on penalties.[40]
On 11 April 2017, three explosions occurred near the team's bus on its way to a Champions League match against AS Monaco at the
Signal Iduna Park. Defender Marc Bartra was injured, and taken to hospital.[41][42] Dortmund lost the game 2–3 to AS Monaco.
Dortmund manager Tuchel blamed the loss on the ignorant decision by UEFA. UEFA said that the team made no objection to playing,
and that the decision was made in compliance with the club and local law enforcement.[43] In the second leg, Dortmund lost 1–3,
leaving the aggregate score at 3–6, causing them to be eliminated from that year's UEFA Champions League. On 26 April, Dortmund
defeated Bayern Munich 3–2 in Munich to advance to the 2017 DFB-Pokal final, Dortmund's fourth consecutive final and fifth in six
seasons. On 27 May, Dortmund won the 2016–17 DFB-Pokal 2–1 over Eintracht Frankfurt with the winner coming from a penalty
converted by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.[44]
Ahead of the 2017–18 season, Thomas Tuchel stepped down as manager. The Dortmund board made a decision to hire Peter Bosz as the
new manager and head coach. Although Bosz got off to a record-breaking start in the team's first 7 games, what followed was 20 games
without a win, after which he was relieved of his staff role.[45] Peter Stöger was announced as the interim coach.[46] During the January
window of the same season, Aubameyang and Bartra both left the club.[47][48] Stöger bought Manuel Akanji of FC Basel for a fee of
€21.5 million and Michy Batshuayi on a six-month loan from Chelsea.[49][50] Stöger coached Dortmund for the rest of the season,
granting them a fourth-place finish in the Bundesliga before stepping down at the end of the season.[51] Michy Batshuayi also returned
to Chelsea.
In the summer of 2018, Dortmund appointed former OGC Nice coach, Lucien Favre as their manager/head coach. After a very busy
transfer window for the team, seeing eight new players arrive at the club for the first team squad, Dortmund performed strongly,
chasing Bayern Munich for the title race down to the last matchday, narrowly missing out on the league title by two points and earning
Lucien Favre a contract extension. A four-part Amazon Prime Video documentary series was created, about the same season, named
Inside Borussia Dortmun.
The next season, Dortmund pulled off a few big-name signings with the intent of winning the Bundesliga title. Although they won the
DFL Supercup, this was their only silverware of the season. After a scrappy first half of the season, they changed their tactics and made a
few more transfers in the January Window. They were eliminated in both the DFB-Pokal and the UEFA Champions League as well. Due
to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, the season stopped abruptly. Once the season restarted, Dortmund looked better, but their
performances were not enough to stop a dominant Bayern Munich side from grasping the Bundesliga title. They finished the 2019–20
season in second place after beating RB Leipzig in matchweek 33 due to a brace from Erling Haaland.
Dortmund got off to a rather shaky start in the 2020–21 season. They lost the DFL-Supercup and had an inconsistent set of results in
the Champions League and the Bundesliga. After a humiliating 5–1 defeat to Stuttgart in Matchday 11, Lucien Favre was relieved of his
managerial duties. Assistant manager Edin Terzić was placed as the caretaker for the rest of the season. Under Terzić, Dortmund
finished third on the final matchday of the Bundesliga and was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in a clash
against Manchester City. The team then won the DFB-Pokal, defeating RB Leipzig 4–1 in the final. Marco Rose was appointed manager
for the 2021–22 season, with Terzić being appointed as the club's new technical director.[52] Terzić was later reappointed as manager
ahead of the 2022–23 season.[53] Before the final matchday of that season, Dortmund were top of the league table, though they later lost
the Bundesliga title on goal difference to Bayern Munich after a disappointing 2–2 home draw against Mainz.[54]

Grounds
Stadiums
The Westfalenstadion is the home stadium of Borussia Dortmund, Germany's largest stadium and
the seventh-largest in Europe.[55] The stadium is officially named "Signal Iduna Park" after
insurance company Signal Iduna purchased the rights to name the stadium until 2021.[56] This
name, however, cannot be used when hosting FIFA and UEFA events, since these governing bodies
have policies forbidding corporate sponsorship from companies that are not official tournament
partners. During the 2006 World Cup, the stadium was referred to as "FIFA World Cup Stadium, Signal Iduna Park is the biggest
Dortmund", while in UEFA club matches, it is known as "BVB Stadion Dortmund". The stadium stadium in Germany.
currently hosts up to 81,359 spectators (standing and seated) for league matches and 65,829 seated
spectators for international matches.[57][58] For these, the characteristic southern grandstand is re-
equipped with seats to conform to FIFA regulations.
In 1974, the Westfalenstadion replaced the Stadion Rote Erde, which is located next door and serves
now as the stadium of Borussia Dortmund II. After the increasing popularity of Borussia Dortmund
in the 1960s, it became obvious that the traditional ground was too small for the increasing number
of Borussia Dortmund supporters. The city of Dortmund, however, was not able to finance a new
stadium and federal institutions were unwilling to help. But in 1971, Dortmund was selected to
replace the city of Cologne, which was forced to withdraw its plans to host games in the 1974 World
Cup. The funds originally set aside for the projected stadium in Cologne were thus re-allocated to
Dortmund, and a new stadium became reality.
The Borusseum, a museum about
The Westfalenstadion has undergone several renovations throughout the years to increase the size of
Borussia Dortmund
the stadium, including an expansion of the stadium for the 2006 World Cup. In 2008, the
Borusseum, a museum about Borussia Dortmund, opened in the stadium.[59] In 2011, Borussia
Dortmund agreed to a partnership with Q-Cells. The company installed 8,768 solar cells on the roof of the Westfalenstadion to generate
up to 860,000 kWh per year.[60]
Borussia Dortmund has the highest average attendance of any football club worldwide.[61] In 2014, it was estimated that each of the
club's home games was attended by around 1,000 British spectators, drawn to the team by its low ticket prices compared to the Premier
League.[62]
Training ground
Borussia Dortmund's training ground and academy base Hohenbuschei is located in Brackel, a district of Dortmund.[63] Inside the
complex, there are physical fitness and rehabilitation robotics areas, physiotherapy and massage rooms, and remedial and hydrotherapy
pools. The facility also includes sauna rooms, steam rooms and weight rooms, classrooms, conference halls, offices for the BVB front
office, a restaurant, and a TV studio to interview the BVB professional footballers and coaching staff for BVB total!, the channel owned
by the club.[64] On the grounds, there are five grass pitches, two of which have under-soil heating, one artificial grass field, three small
grass pitches and a multi-functional sports arena.[65] The site covers a total area of 18,000 m2 (190,000 sq ft).[63] In addition, the club
owns a Footbonaut, a training robot, which is effectively a 14 m2 (150 sq ft) training cage.[66][67]
The training complex and youth performance centre, located in Hohenbuschei, will be expanded in stages until 2021. In addition, the
Sports Business Office will be entirely rebuilt from scratch. The planned construction, which will cost up to 20 million euros, will make
BVB the best-equipped football club in the country with regards to infrastructure.[68]
In the Strobelallee Training Centre, the BVB Evonik Football Academy has an outstanding training venue exclusively at its disposal.
Among others, the Bundesliga-team used to prepare for their matches on the club's former training ground.[69]

Head coaches
In July 1935, Fritz Thelen became the club's first full-time head coach, but was not available in the first months of the season, forcing
Dortmund player and Germany international Ernst Kuzorra to take over instead.[125][126] In 1966, Willi Multhaup led his side to the
European Cup Winners' Cup, the first German team to win a European trophy. Horst Köppel was the coach to bring major silverware to
the club for the first time in over 20 years, winning the DFB-Pokal in 1989.
Ottmar Hitzfeld is the club's most successful coach, having won both the Bundesliga and Supercup twice. In 1997, Dortmund had waited
for continental success for over 30 years; Hitzfeld crowned his period with an unexpected triumph and won the Champions League.
Dortmund won the Intercontinental Cup in 1997 and head coach Nevio Scala became the first and, so far, only non-native speaker to
win a major title. In 2001–02, Matthias Sammer, a former BVB player, brought the league title back to Dortmund. In 2008–09, the club
approached Mainz 05 head coach Jürgen Klopp. He won the club's seventh championship title in 2010–11. In his fourth season,
Dortmund won the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal to complete the first league and cup double in the club's history.[127] Successor
Thomas Tuchel won the 2016–17 DFB-Pokal.
On 22 May 2018, Lucien Favre was confirmed as the new head coach of the club for the 2018–19 season.[128] He won the 2019 DFL-
Supercup on 3 August 2019.
On 12 December 2020, Dortmund suffered a 5–1 defeat against VfB Stuttgart. Favre was fired the next day.[129]
