Expected capital expenditures and financial position
The highest priorities for developing the club’s core business will be making the club more competitive and improving its infrastructure.
Borussia Dortmund’s transfer policy stipulates that transfer expenses may not exceed the club’s financial means. Likewise, Borussia Dortmund is making promising investments in its infrastructure, digitalising and modernising SIGNAL IDUNA PARK and the training ground in Dortmund-Brackel. This includes in particular various decarbonisation projects at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK and new pitches at the training facility in Dortmund-Brackel in the coming financial year. Borussia Dortmund has secured long-term loans to finance the investments already made in building a logistics centre to provide greater flexibility and improve the logistics of supplying food and beverages to SIGNAL IDUNA PARK on match days, to repurchase significant portions of the training ground in Dortmund-Brackel that had previously been leased and to expand the training ground for the women’s football teams.
In order to minimise and avoid financial risk, Borussia Dortmund in principle pursues a conservative and extremely prudent capital expenditure strategy and will not count on any uncertain sporting successes.
