Borussia Dortmund

Please see below.

The club was established on the 19th of December 1909 by the group of men who were unhappy in their experience at the Catholic Church-sponsored Trinity Youth, which was a football club under the harsh and uncaring scrutiny of the local parish priest. Father Dewald, the priest at that time, Father Dewald was blocked by the door when he attempted to disperse the meeting that was being held in the local pub Zum Wildschutz. nearby pub Zum Wildschutz. The founding members of the group were Franz as well as Paul Braun, Henry Cleve, Hans Debest, Paul Dziendzielle, Franz, Julius and Wilhelm Jacobi, Hans Kahn, Gustav Muller, Franz Risse, Fritz Schulte, Hans Siebold, August Tonnesmann, Heinrich and Robert Unger, Fritz Weber and Franz Wendt. Borussia is the name of their team. Borussia can be described as Latin meaning Prussia however it was derived from Borussia beer that was produced by close by Borussia brewery located in Dortmund. The team first began playing in white and blue stripes, paired along with red shash as well as black shorts. In 1913, they wore the stripes of yellow and black that we are familiar with in the present.

In the following decades, the club had only moderate results in local leagues. The club faced bankruptcy in 1929 after attempts to improve the fortunes of the club by signing professional footballers fell short and left the club in debt. They were able to survive thanks to the generosity of a local fan who paid for the team's deficit by putting money into his savings.

The 1930s witnessed the advent of the Third Reich, which changed the structure of football and sports organizations across the country in accordance with the objectives of the regime. Borussia's president was removed after he was not a member of in the Nazi Party, and several members who secretly used the office of the club to create anti-Nazi propaganda were executed in the closing days of war. The club was able to achieve greater success in the newly formed Gauliga the Westfalen but had for a while after World War II for an impact. This was the time that Borussia was able to establish a fierce competition between itself and Schalke 04 from nearby Gelsenkirchen and was considered to be the most successful team during the time (see Revierderby). As with all other clubs within Germany, Borussia was dissolved by Allied occupation authorities following the war, in an effort to separate the nation's institutions from its Nazi history. 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.

Between 1946 until between 1946 and Borussia played in between 1946 and 1963, Borussia played in the Oberliga West, an upper division league that had a dominant influence on German football until the end of the 1950s. It was in the year 1949, Borussia reached the final in Stuttgart against VfR Mannheim in which they lost 3-1 after extra time. The team won their first national championship during 1956 with a win of 4-2 over Karlsruher SC. A year later, Borussia defeated Hamburger the SV 4-1 to take their second title at the national level. After that win trio of Alfredos ( Alfred Preissler, Alfred Kelbassa and Alfred Niepieklo) were legends in Dortmund. They were also legends in Dortmund. 1963, Borussia won the final season of the German Football Championship (before the advent to the modern Bundesliga) in order to win their third national championship.

In 1962 in 1962, in 1962, the DFB meeting was held in Dortmund and decided to create an official football league in Germany and begin playing in August 1963, dubbed known as the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund earned its place in the top 16 clubs that played in the league when it won the previous pre-Bundesliga champions championship. Runners-up 1. FC Koln also earned an automatic entry into the. Dortmund's Friedhelm Konietzka scored his first Bundesliga goal just a minute into the game and they would be beaten by a score of 2-2 against Werder Bremen.

The year the year 1965, Dortmund captured its first DFB-Pokal. In 1966, Dortmund won the European Cup Winners' Cup 2-1 against Liverpool during extra time with goals scored by Sigfried Held, and Reinhard Libuda. In the same season however, the team lost a dominant position in the Bundesliga by losing four of their five league matches and finishing third, three points ahead of Champions 1859 Munchen. In the end, a lot of Munchen's successes were due to the merits of the playing of Konietzka who was recently transferred from Dortmund.

The 1970s were marked by financial issues, dropping out of the Bundesliga in 1972 as well as the launch of the Westfalenstadion which was named for the region it is home to Westphalia in 1974. The club made its return to the Bundesliga in the year 1976.

Dortmund continued to be plagued by financial issues throughout the 1980s. BVB was able to avoid being dropped in 1986 by winning a crucial match in the playoffs in the playoffs against Fortuna Koln after having finished the regular season 16th. Dortmund did not experience notable success until the 4-1 DFB-Pokal victory during 1989 against Werder Bremen. The win it was Horst Koppel's first trophy as manager. Dortmund was then crowned in the 1989 Supercup of the DFL 4-3 in a match against the rivals Bayern Munich.

Following a tenth place finish during the Bundesliga in 1991 the director Horst Koppel was fired while the manager Ottmar Hitzfeld was appointed.

The year the year 1992, Hitzfeld led Borussia Dortmund to second place on the Bundesliga and would have also won this title were the VfB Stuttgart had not won their final game to be 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 performance, Borussia walked away with DM25 million as part of the scheme of award money pools which was in that time for German teams competing at the Cup. Cash flowing, Dortmund was able to select players who later earned them many honours during the 90s.

In the era of the leadership of captain of 1995 European Footballer of the Year Matthias Sammer, Borussia Dortmund had back-to-back Bundesliga championships in 1995 and 1996. Dortmund also took home The DFL Supercup with Monchengladbach during the year 1995 as well as 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 1996.

In 1996-97, Dortmund made it to its debut European Cup final. In a thrilling game in the Olympiastadion in Munich, Dortmund took on holders Juventus. Karl-Heinz Riedle put Dortmund ahead after he shot over goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi from a cross from Paul Lambert. Riedle also added two goals with a header that was a bullet from the corner kick. The second period was a different story. the Italian Alessandro de Piero scored a second goal for Juventus by kicking an angled back heel. Then , a 20-year-old replacement and local player Lars Ricken latched to a cross-field pass made by Andreas Moller. Within 16 seconds of arriving on the playing field Ricken struck Peruzzi into the Juventus goal from more than 20 yards by his first touch to the ball. In spite of Zinedine Zidane not able to make an impact to Juventus against the tight mark that was Lambert, Dortmund lifted the trophy with a convincing 3-1 win.

Dortmund followed up with a win Brazilian team Cruzeiro 2 to 1 at the 1997 Intercontinental Cup Final to be crowned world champions of club football. Borussia Dortmund were the second German club to be the winners of the Intercontinental Cup, after Bayern Munich in 1976..

As champions in the defending round, Dortmund made it to their Champions League semi-final in 1998. The team was lacking important players at the beginning of the season as they faced Real Madrid in the semi-final of 1998. Sammer's playing career was cut short due to injury and he only played three first-team games following his Champions League win. Lambert was forced to leave in November to for a second stint in Scotland. Moller did not play in the first leg and Kohler who was absent for both games of the match. Real took the lead in the first leg with a 2-0 win at home. Dortmund performed much better during the following half but were unable to take advantage of their chances. Dortmund lost with a 2-0 an aggregate.

Then, in October of 2000 Borussia Dortmund became the first club to be publicly traded in the German stock exchange.

The year 2002, Borussia Dortmund won their third Bundesliga title. Dortmund experienced a spectacular performance at the conclusion of the season, when they beat Bayer Leverkusen winning the title on the last day. The manager Matthias Sammer became the first person in Borussia Dortmund history to win the Bundesliga as as a manager and player. The same time, Borussia lost the final of the 2001-02 UEFA Cup to Dutch team Feyenoord.

The fortunes of Dortmund then slowly decreased over the course of several years. Insufficient financial management resulted in an enormous debt burden and the demise of their Westfalenstadion stadium. The problem was further exacerbated by the team's failure to progress in the 2003-04 UEFA Champions League, which saw the team eliminated on penalties during their qualifying round in the qualifying rounds by Club Brugge. The year 2003 was the time that Bayern Munich loaned EUR2 million to Dortmund for a number of months to cover their salaries. Borussia was once more pushed into bankruptcy in 2005, with the originally EUR11 worth of its shares soaring by more than 80 percent in the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

At the time, Hans-Joachim Witzke was appointed as the CEO and the club was streamlined. The response to the financial crisis included cuts of 20% to pay to all members. In 2006, as a way to cut down on debt the Westfalenstadion was changed to "Signal Iduna Park" in honor of an insurance company in the local area. The naming rights agreement is valid through 2021.

Dortmund was a mess from the beginning towards their 2005-06 season, but then rallied to finish in seventh place. The club did not earn the right to participate 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 Tomas Rosicky to Arsenal.

The 2007-2006 year, Dortmund unexpectedly faced serious reduction problems in the very first time since the beginning of the season. Dortmund had three coaches before appointing Thomas Doll on 13 March 2007 following a drop to just one point over the zone of relegation. Christoph Metzelder also left Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer.

The year 2007-08, the campaign, Dortmund lost to many smaller Bundesliga clubs. Despite finishing 13th on the Bundesliga table, Dortmund reached the DFB-Pokal Final against Bayern Munich, where they lost 2-1 after extra time. The final game was enough to qualify Dortmund to play in their participation in the UEFA Cup because Bayern already had qualified as a team for this year's Champions League. Thomas Doll resigned on 19 May 2008 and was replaced by Jurgen Klopp.

In the 2009-2010 season Klopp's Dortmund improved from the season, but finished 5th in Bundesliga to be eligible for UEFA Europa League. The team was unable to make it into the Champions League by not beating eighth-placed VfL Wolfsburg as well as 14th-placed SC Freiburg in the final two games of the season.

As we entered in the season of 2010-11 campaign, Dortmund fielded a young and lively squad. On December 4, 2010 Borussia was crowned the Herbstmeister ("Autumn Champion") which is an official award that was given to the league's leader prior to the end of winter break. The team won three games before the break, and share the record for being able to achieve this first together with Eintracht Frankfurt (1993-94) and 1. FC Kaiserslautern (1997-98). The 30th April 2011 was the day that the club defeated 1. FC Nurnberg 2-0 at home in the second place match, while Bayer Leverkusen lost, leaving Dortmund eight points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen with just two games left. The championship was equal to all seven titles won by their rivals Schalke 04, and guaranteed an appearance for the 2011-12 Champions League group stages.

A year later, Dortmund made a successful defense of the Bundesliga title by winning against Borussia Monchengladbach and again on the 32nd day of match. On the 34th and last game day Dortmund established a record with the most points ever achieved by a team in the course of a single Bundesliga season. This was followed with 91 points from Bayern Munich. Dortmund's eighth victory places them third in all national championships as well as players will wear the two star over their uniforms to commemorate the club's five Bundesliga championships. Some notable names from the winning team comprise Lucas Barrios, Mario Gotze, Neven Subotic, Mats Hummels, Robert Lewandowski, Shinji Kagawa, Lukasz Piszczek, Jakub Blaszczykowski Kevin Grosskreutz, Ivan Perisic and Ilkay Gundogan. The club concluded its impressive season in 2011-12 by securing the double for the first time, beating Bayern 5-1 at the final of the DFB-Pokal. Borussia Dortmund are one of four German clubs to have won both the Bundesliga along with the DFB-Pokal double alongside Bayern Munich, 1. FC Koln and Werder Bremen. The club was awarded the Team of the Year in 2011 in the annual Sportler der Jahres (German Sport Personality of the Year) awards.) awards.

Borussia Dortmund finished their 2013-13 campaign with a second place finish on Borussia Dortmund finished second in the Bundesliga. Dortmund participated the second UEFA Champions League Final against Bayern Munich in the first ever all-German club final held at Wembley Stadium on 25 May 2013. they lost by a score of 2-1.

The the 2015-16 campaign, Dortmund started off in a positive manner with a 4-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach on the first day. Then, they won five straight wins that saw them rise up to the summit of the Bundesliga. In the 8th gameday, they were overtaken by Bayern Munich following an unlucky draw against the 1899 season at Hoffenheim. Dortmund maintained their winning streak and won 24 of 34 league matches and becoming the most successful Bundesliga runners-up team ever. In the Europa League, they advanced to the quarter-finals, getting knocked out by a Jurgen Klopp-led Liverpool with a stunning comeback victory at Anfield where defensive defender Dejan Lovren scored a last-minute goal to win the game 4-3 for the Reds and 5-4 in aggregate. For the year 2015-16 DFB-Pokal this year, for the third consecutive year, Dortmund reached the final however, they the team lost to Bayern Munich on penalties.

On April 11, 2017 three explosions were reported close to the bus of the team in the route to an Champions League match against AS Monaco at the Signal Iduna Park. The team's defender Marc Bartra was injured and was taken to the hospital. Dortmund lost the game by a score of 2-3 in the final to AS Monaco. Manager of Dortmund, Thomas Tuchel blamed the loss on due to an inexperienced decision made by UEFA. UEFA said that the team had no opposition to playing and the decision was taken in accordance with the club's rules and the local police. In the second game, Dortmund went on to defeat 1-3, leaving the overall score at 3-6, being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League. The 26th of April saw Dortmund lost to Bayern Munich 3-2 in Munich to qualify for the 2017 DFB-Pokal Final which was Dortmund's fourth consecutive final, and fifth in the past six seasons. On May 27, Dortmund won the DFB-Pokal of 2016-17 by a 2-1 margin against Eintracht Frankfurt with the winning goal resulted from a penalty, which was which was scored by Pierre-Emerick aubameyang..

Prior to the start of the 2017-18 season Thomas Tuchel stepped down as manager. The Dortmund board took the decision to appoint Peter Bosz as the new head coach and manager. While Bosz started off with an impressive start in the team's initial 7 games, the next seven were 20 games with no wins and Bosz was let go of the position of staff. Peter Stoger was appointed interim coach. The January period of the same season Aubameyang as well as Bartra both quit the club. Stoger bought Manuel Akanji of FC Basel for a fee of EUR21.5 million and Michy Batshuayi on a six-month loan from Chelsea. Stoger was the manager of Dortmund throughout the remainder of the season, giving them a fourth-place finish the Bundesliga before quitting at the close this season. Michy Batshuayi also returned to Chelsea.

This summer Dortmund was appointed by the former OGC Nice coach, Lucien Favre as their head coach and manager. After a very hectic transfer period for the team which saw eight new players join in the club's first team, Dortmund performed strongly, in pursuit of Bayern Munich for the title right up to the final day of the game which narrowly missed the title by just two points, and also granting Lucien Favre an extension to his contract. Four-part Amazon Prime Video documentary series was made in the same year that was titled "Inside Borussia Dortmund".

The following season Dortmund did a couple of big name signings with the intention to win their first Bundesliga title. Even though they won their first DFL Supercup, this was the only trophy they won this season. After a rocky start in the campaign, they switched their approach and made a couple of transfers during the January Window. They were eliminated both the DFB-Pokal as well as the UEFA Champions League as well. Because of the COVID-19 virus that was sweeping Germany the season was cut short abruptly. When the season reopened, Dortmund looked better but their performance was not enough to keep the dominant Bayern Munich side from grasping the Bundesliga title. They ended the 2019-20 season in second place , after defeating RB Leipzig in matchweek 33 thanks to a brace scored by Erling Haaland.

Dortmund began off with an uncertain start in the season 2020-21. They were eliminated from the DFL-Supercup, and suffered a mixed series of results for the Champions League and the Bundesliga. After a humiliating 5-1 loss to Stuttgart on Matchday 11 Lucien Favre was relieved of his manager tasks. Manager assistant Edin Terzic was named the caretaker for the remainder of the campaign. With Terzic, Dortmund finished third on the final day in the Bundesliga and were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Champions League in a clash against Manchester City. Dortmund then went on to take home the DFB-Pokal, defeating RB Leipzig 4-1 in the final. Marco Rose was appointed manager for the 2021-22 campaign, with Terzic being appointed the club's new technical director.
