The group operates Borussia Dortmund, a leading football club, placed second in the Bundesliga in 2022/23, DFB Super Cup winners in 2019/20 and DFB-Pokal winners in 2020/21. The club has qualified for the Champions League in 12 of the last 13 seasons.

Unsustainable spend on wages and transfers is increasingly being penalised by UEFA Financial Fair Play requirements. A ‘break-even requirement’ obliges clubs to spend no more than they generate over a rolling three-year period. Sanctions vary from a warning to a ban from UEFA competition, fines and a cap on wages and squad size.

Financials

Borussia Dortmund’s first team was successful in progressing through to quarter finals of the Champions League, which naturally leads to an upgrade in profit guidance for the year, as reaching the ‘round of 16’ was in prior guidance. This follows confirmation that the first team will compete in the revamped FIFA Club World Cup to be played in the summer of 2025, which is likely to be significant for financial results and very helpful in the long-term development of the brand and fanbase.
