Dortmund - Overview
Formerly a coal mining, steel and brewing town, the heavy industry has now given way to high tech R&D and new media companies. But one thing has endured for over a century: the city is still a footballing powerhouse, with the largest stadium in Germany.

Signal Iduna Park
With a capacity of over 83,000, Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park, formerly the Westfalen Stadium, is the biggest football ground in Germany.
Built for the 1974 World Cup, it has been greatly expanded since then.
For the 2006 World Cup the ground will host group matches, a game from the first knock-out round and a semi-final.

The club - BVB Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund is one of Germany's leading football clubs and a veritable institution in the nation's industrial heartland, the "Ruhrgebiet".
Six times German champions, the club has however made more headlines in the last few years for its financial crisis. Debts run at over 100 million euros and the share price has fallen well below its opening level in October 2000, when Dortmund became the first Bundesliga club to float on the stock market.
