Borussia Dortmund

The second most successful club in the history of the Bundesliga has the nicknames Die Borussen, Der BVB and Die Schwarzgelben (the yellow and black). Perhaps needless to say, the club colours are yellow and black, which is also on the emblem. They play at the Wesfalenstadion, a stadium with a capacity of 81,365 for league matches and 65,825 for international ones. However, for sponsorship reasons it is now called Signal Iduna Park. It is the largest stadium in Germany and the seventh largest in Europe. It is also the stadium with the highest average attendance than any other club stadium in the world.

The club has a long-standing rivalry with its local neighbour, Schalke 04. The matches they play between them are known as Revierderby. The league's most successful club, Bayern Munich, can also be described as rivals.
