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 competitions, fines and a cap on wages and squad size.

Financials

Borussia Dortmund’s Q324 results demonstrated some phasing but it has made good progress year to date. Progress to the Champions League final for the first time since 2013, having beaten more favoured (by the bookmakers) and higher-funded teams along the way, led to a further upgrade to profit guidance for FY24. Despite being less successful than usual in the Bundesliga, the club will take part in the Champions League next season, as well as the revamped FIFA Club World Cup in the summer of 2025, which are all helpful in increasing the club’s global exposure and appeal.
