Borussia Dortmund is often considered to be one of the most prestigious and well-known football clubs in Germany. Having been established in 1909, BVB is proud to have more than 10 million supporters inside the borders of Germany. In addition, the club is also looking to expand its fan base around the globe. In 1966, Dortmund became the first German club to win a European Cup tournament. They had previously won the DFB-Pokal five times and had won the German championship eight times. In 1997, BVB earned the distinction of becoming the first Bundesliga team to win both the UEFA Champions League and the Intercontinental Cup. Both of these victories occurred in the same year. Today, Borussia Dortmund is not only one of the most financially successful football teams in the world, but it also has a turnover of more than 500 million Euro.
