Borussia Dortmund: What a Stadium!


In Germany, football is really one of the main sports, and for this reason, they rely on excellent teams.  For instance, one famous football first division club, Borussia Dortmund, is based in Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, as its name implies.  In spite of the fact that it is normally called Borussia Dortmund, this is not its complete name.  Its full name is Ballspiel-Verein Borussia 1909 e.V. Dortmund.  In addition to “Borussia Dortmund”, this club is also popularly called “Scwargelben” by some people.  These days, the chairman of the club is called Dr. Reinhard Rauball, and the manager is Bert van Marwijk.

The BV Borussia Dortmund, as the rest of the teams, has two different uniforms, which are one for playing home, and another used when playing away.  The first one of them is made up of black pants, yellow stripped socks, and a yellow T-shirt with a black vertical strip.  On the other hand, the alternative uniform is composed by yellow pants, black socks, a black T-shirt with a vertical yellow strip and two white strips on the sides.  The Borussia Dortmund club was founded on December 19th, 1909.  So, soon the club will celebrate their 100-year history!

Among the honors they pride themselves, it is possible to find six German Championships, from which three of them correspond to Bundesliga and two German Cups.  At an international level, they rely on the Champions League (1997), the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup (1966), and the Intercontinental Cup (1997).  Furthermore, the Borussia Dortmund has a home stadium, which is called the SignalIdunaPark.  Some time ago, the name of it was Westfalenstadion.  Obviously, it is located in Dortmund city, in the North Rhine-Westphalia.  This stadium was reconstructed for the World Cup 2006, and for this reason, this is the biggest football stadium in Germany.
