UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany city guide: Dortmund
With Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park set to host games at UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany, get clued up on the stadium and the city in our guides.
Stadium: Signal Iduna Park
One of the wonders of the modern world, Borussia Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park is a footballing cathedral, and a place all fans should visit at least once in their life. Packed to its 81,365 capacity almost every game, it is Germany's largest stadium and has the largest single terrace for standing supporters in Europe, with 24,454 filling its world-famous Südtribüne (south stand) to create the awe-inspiring 'Yellow Wall.' Deafeningly loud and utterly awe-inspiring, the stadium is a Mecca for thousands of visitors from Germany and beyond.
Opened for the FIFA World Cup in 1974, the stadium - originally known as the Westfalenstadion - has been BVB's home ever since the club outgrew their previous Rote Erde stadium, which still lies adjacent to the Signal Iduna. The arena hosted the 2001 UEFA Cup final and a further six matches at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The ground is an unmissable landmark of the Dortmund skyline and the distinctive 62-metre-high yellow pylons atop the stadium can be seen for miles around, serving as a beacon for the masses making the pilgrimage.
