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. In the coming financial year, plans include the replacement and expansion of the photovoltaic system on the roof of SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, meaning that Germany’s largest stadium will also have the largest array of solar panels on a stadium roof in Germany, as well as the renovation and expansion of the training ground, particularly for the women’s teams. Medium- and long-term loans have been taken out to finance the investments in the training ground. In addition, Borussia Dortmund is investing in the construction of the BVB Health World medical centre in walking distance of the Dortmund-Brackel training ground in cooperation with Essen University Hospital (the opening is currently scheduled for 2027 at the earliest). Borussia Dortmund has also taken out a long-term loan to finance this project. 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, and to repurchase significant portions of the training ground in Dortmund-Brackel that had previously been leased.

In order to minimise financial risks, Borussia Dortmund in principle pursues a conservative and forward-looking financial planning strategy and will not count on any uncertain sporting successes.
