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, the plans call for in particular the modernisation of the “Borussia Park” hospitality area and the construction of various new counters at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. In addition, Borussia Dortmund is also planning to invest in the refurbishment, modernisation and expansion of the training ground, particularly the facilities for its women’s football programme. Medium- and long-term loans have already 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 (consisting of land and buildings) in walking distance of the Dortmund-Brackel training ground in cooperation with Essen University Hospital. 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.
