- I FINALLY went to Germany to take the Signal Iduna Park (Westfalenstadion) stadium tour, the home of Borussia Dortmund.
I saw the Champions League, Bundesliga and DFB Pokal trophies and will even explain the confusing BVB 09 name this club officially has!

I've always had a soft spot for Borussia Dortmund (also for FC Liverpool) because both played eachother in the 1966 final (then) European Cup-Winners Cup. A few weeks before the '66 World Cup in England. Played at Hampden Park, Glasgow. At age nine it was the first game of my life I ever watched on TV (black & white). Incredible 2nd half and extra-time. Watching Dortmund's fantastic forwards Siggi Held, Lothar Emmerich and "Stan" Libuda, also goalie Tilkowski and others was sheer incredible. Or the Liverpool lot. Not forgetting Roger Hunt's equalizer. Yep, names that were immortalized since then in the 1966 World Cup final. Oh, nearly forgot, Dortmunt won 2-1.
Borussia Dortmund is my favourite German club I love all there kits I follow there results most of the time this is a club who makes talent
Thank you bro! Greets from Dortmund!!
@@matBVB09 Huge Dortmund and Germany fan here from Ireland 🇮🇪... gone to Dortmund games home & away!
Can't wait to be over again vs Stuttgart on the 22nd October. I'll have my big BVB x Ireland flag 💪🟡⚫️
Huge fan of BVB from Colombia 🇨🇴, hope to go soon and watch play my idol, Marco Reus
Mate, the place that you ate the Bratwurst is a historical place for Dortmund.
It is the Stadion Rote Erde, where BvB played their home games between 1926-1974.
It is still in used, its the home of Borussia Dortmund II and Frauen.

@@FootyAdventures Thanks and you are welcome and my full support daily and ever in this world and other planets,good friend!!!:-D
Always wanted to go visit signal iduna. Iv followed dortmund for a number of years now.
Had the privilege of seeing them play my other team last season and ibrox.
Signal iduna is definitely on my bucket list!
As a Dortmund fan it’s Great to see vlogs at the best stadium in the World hope you enjoyed!
this vlog wasn't in Eamonn Deacy Park?
Awesome video! Always loved the colours of the club and they have had some lovely kits in the Past! Stadium looks intimidating aswell👍
A few years ago I had the privilege to attend a game at Signal Iduna and stood on the Yellow Wall. The game was Dortmund v Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup. What an incredible experience.
I used to live in Dortmund (based there in the Army back in the 80's) when it was still the "Westfalen Stadium" No sponsor named stadiums back then..
6:11 after attending an MLS match last year, I realized that the thing I really love about football is how organic the fan energy is. There’s no obnoxious club/organ music being played to rally the fans. It’s all started by the fans.
Haha you use organic and mls in one sentence 😂 Kinda funny
@@Patrick-mn7bg why is it funny?
Great observation. I wasn’t really sure what exactly I found so ridiculous about the Timeouts when watching NBA games, but I always mute my PC and sometimes even turn off the monitor when there are timeouts lol. Now you put it into words. It feels like the fans are just some marionettes, they react to what the arena does and it is pretty much the same for every game you watch. In football every club has their own identity and the fans influence that a lot. Especially here in Germany, where tickets aren’t incredibly expensive like in England, where you also are kind of an consumer and not a fan
@@evanhaskel206 because the fan energy at mls is not organic?
@@klaatii it seems pretty organic to me.
Great vid keep up the amazing work!
Hi Sam, did you see Dortmund's old ground, Stadion Rot Erde which is next door to the Signal Induna and is still used by their B team?
8:57 proper old school teletext there 🙂
Nice Video mate, always love to see things through another persons eyes. Love from Dortmund, come back soon :)
Great video Sam, what a stadium!
Did you see Dortmund's old ground, Stadion Rote Erde (red soil)? It's located right next to Signal Iduna Park. Great vid of course. Thanks for taking us 'round the stadium.
*Westfalenstadion
Great video Sam. Been there for a game, did the German national football museum in city instead of stadium tour.
You need to do a collab with Danny on Rate My TakeAway!
No way my son and I came from Kilmarnock to the Hoffenheim game last week - can't believe you were there you could have got some Scottish insight ! Amazing place and we did the football museum in Dortmund itself before coming to the game
I love dortmound my favourite German team ..I was in Germany few months bk I love the country ..IV followed dortmound since 80s..great video thank u
Looks fantastic Sam great video.
I have visited the stadium about one month before you. I am Schalke fan. I am glad you enjoyed at the biggest football stadium in Germany.
Loved your German videos, would love to see a vlog of both Hertha and Union Berlin's stadiums if you go back!!!
3:42 also why there's several football clubs named Borussia all over Germany, to name a few: Dortmund and MG on the top tier; Tennis Berlin and Wuppertaler SV in the Regionalligas (although on the latter, the Borussia part is rejected by their fans); Neunkirchen and Fulda further down; and Friedenstal on the ladies' fourth tier.
Nice football ground good video 🚜🚜🚜
Bin there a few times and also standing on the yellow wall. When I recal my first visiting, opposite of the yellow wall...they startet to chant and you could feel the waves in your body. Still today getting goose bumps thinking about that moment. :D
Wat 😂
As a Dortmund fan it’s Great to see vlogs at the best stadium in the World
The Borussia is today called Preußen in our history lessons and everyday life and it was a country which existed till around 1950 but i think Borussia is the Roman name
love to see a tour vlog for the Millerntor Stadion in Hamburg!!(the home ground of St. Pauli🟤⚪☠)
Another great vid.
As your S-Bahn train took you from Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof, eastwards towards Dortmund and its 'Westfalenstadion', you had a good view of the much-loved 'Wuppertaler Schwebebahn' [ 'Wuppertal Suspension Railway' ] as it followed the path of the flowing river, below it. #EngineeringRocks
Amazing, I need to see them in Germany I saw them at ibrox last year. Been following them since I was 6 years old watching the final in 97 with my old man. Absolute must
I'd love to see you do some Central/ South American content. Estadio Azteca 🇲🇽, Maracanã 🇧🇷 , La Bombonera and El Monumental 🇦🇷 would be epic !
I just found your channel and this was the first video I watched. Great job. I live a two-hour drive from Orlando, Fla, USA and support MLS's Orlando City SC. Our Exploria Stadium features a standing section called The Wall and it's inspired by Dortmund's Yellow Wall. I'm going there Wednesday for the US Open Cup final between Orlando and USL Championship side Sacramento. I hope you make it to Orlando soon!
I’d love to come over and cover some soccer one day!! Thanks for watching, welcome to the channel. Lots more coming soon 📽👌🏽
One of my most memorable games I’ve seen was at that stadium 😉
Love to see you do some tours of Perm stadiums
Would love to see a tour vlog for the Millerntor Stadion in Hamburg!!(the home ground of St. Pauli🟤⚪️☠️)
was looking forward to this
Cheers mate!!!
That’s a great price and the food looked incredible 😍
Hey, great Film about my club. But the reason for the name was a bit wrong. This is right for the outher Borussia. Borussia Mönchengladbach. But the Borussia in BVB comes from a Beer manufacuture in Dortmund with the name: Borussia Brauerei. The funny fact. The Factory only existed until 1901, but Borussia was founded in 1909. It was named after an old sign of this factory in a bar. The founder of BVB searched for a name, so, sitting in the bar, they decided to call it Borussia Dortmund.
Next time you should take some time and visit the German football museum, directly across the main station. You‘ve actually been there. Very impressive, not to miss. BTW, good job, well done!
PS: what about some mustard with your brat?
You should go and watch a game in Kaiserslautern. They have a very nice stadium and great atmosphere!
This stadium is on my to do list . I went to Italy in earlier this month and went to see the stadio olympico. Wow What a place ! But I’d also like to go see the Wanda Metropolitano
Pity they didn't win the CL in 2013, great stadium and fans. Saw them demolish Stuttgart 5-0 in 1996, Julio cesar, Moller, chapuisat and the legend that was Matthias Sammer.
Love the rate my takeaway reference lol also which football stadium was modelled and redeveloped based on the westfalenstadion
4:23 Yes, the founder, which founded the club in the pub "Wildschütz" at Borsigplatz on 19.12.1909, were looking for a name for their new club. On the wall in the pub was a sign (advertising) of Borussia brewery. So they decided to name the club Borussia.
Parkhead for me - so much history, been on a game night but want to experience the aura on a tour
Die hard Bayern München fan here, but the Westfalenstadion (Signal Iduna Park) is truly the most iconic in Germany. I’ll take a Dortmund win over a Leipzig draw any day of the week! Mia San Mia
lieber die nächsten 20 Jahre Bayern Meister als einmal Leipzig
Dortmund Fan
Welcome to Germany! Have a warm welcome in the Black Yellow World!!! Have a good time m8! Btw: Currywurst..one of the best you found, Dortmund City, its a smaller stand, cant remeber the name...Willy....looks like caravan....taste it!
The German word for Prussia is Preußen. Borussia is the Latin name and the name of the female personification of the state of Prussia, which existed from 1525 to 1947. The name comes from the Baltic tribe of the Old Prussians or Prußen in German, which lands where conquered by the Teutonic Order or Deutscher Orden in German. 😄
01:23 I would encourage you go to Wuppertal and take the world's only public suspended railway (Wuppertal Schwebebahn), and also the local club Wuppertaler SC
That was sadly, also the site of the Wuppertal Schewebahn accident in 1999, when a railcar plunged into the river.
You should come to Ghent (KAA GENT) when you're in Belgium. They got a rather new stadium and the ticket prices aren't expensive.
Greetings from Ghent :))
For such a big club I thought they had won more league titles & German cups than they have. If memory serves me with Paul Lambert was in the team that won the European Cup in 97
Amazing stadium. I personally would love to visit the stadium where my favourite club plays at, which is Marseille. The stadium name is Stade Velodrome.
Have you ever been to the Derby della Capitale? I was in Rome for the Celtic-Lazio match. Atmosphere was a little subdued but the lead up to the match was very intense.
One of the best stadium's in my opinion
What a thumbnail
Haha thanks!!
Big up MSV Duisburg on 8:58 😉
Always love Borussias colours
My pain at 1:30 is unbearable, I know you probably didn't know this at the time, but you travelled via the orange line, via Wuppertal instead of Essen as you showed on the map. The big green thing you showed right before it the Schwebebahn in Wuppertal, literally translated as Hover Train, and it is still a very important mode of public transport in the city
Joost, though/felt the same ("My pain at 1:30 is unbearable"). He probably didn't realise it when the train passed the "Wuppertaler Schwebebahn." Then it's probably not easy to imagine what one is passing if one doesn't have the luck to see one of the "Schwebebahn" trains passing you.
@@Jimo1956 hahah true
Thank you for the hairdryer shot. I was eager to know why they are so petty and decided to not install those on the away end.
I already did it twice. And it is great.
Great video but PSA:
Its either "Signal Iduna Park" which is the stadiums official name at the moment due to the insurance company "Signal Iduna" having bought the naming rights from the club - OR (as we fans still call it becasue that is its original and true name) the Westfalenstadion.
Hey buddy, thanks for the video, please how did u get the tickets for the match? I'm trying to go
You should have visited the original stadium (Stadion Rote Erde) which is next door. The 2nd team plays their games there. But its under renovation right now, otherwise its free and open to visit (I think).
A little history
Borussia is the Latin word for Prussia, a former European state that comprised much of what today is Germany, Poland, Lithuania and Russia.
With its capital city in Berlin, Prussia was a major European power in the 18th and 19th centuries, and its military might was the driving force behind the unification of the various Germanic states in 1871 and the establishment of Germany as we (more or less) know it today.
As a unified Germany became an increasingly industrialised nation and more powerful player on the international scene, nationalism grew, and was a factor in a number of German clubs, such as Dortmund and Gladbach, but also Neunkirchen and Fulda among others, having Borussia in their name.
Dortmund, founded in 1909 in a local bar, have since become one of the most famous clubs in world football. - Bongarts/Getty Images
Founding Borussia Dortmund
The Borussia in Borussia Dortmund had less to do with patriotism than convenience, though.
In 1909, a group of local young men, unhappy with playing football under the strict eye of the local priest, decided to form their own club in protest. They met at 60 Oesterholzstrasse, then a bar by the name of Zum Wildschutz, but since the meet-up was rather spontaneous and unprepared, the name Borussia was suggested simply because there was a Borussia-Brauerei sign on the wall, the Borussia Brewery being situated just a short distance from the bar.
Founding Borussia Mönchengladbach
Borussia Mönchengladbach had been formed in 1900 when a group of young men had assembled at the restaurant Anton Schmitz in the Eicken district of Mönchengladbach. In this case, patriotism was a stronger motivation and Borussia was added to the name since the city of Mönchengladbach was formerly part of the old kingdom of Prussia.
Who are the true 'Borussen'?
You might also hear fans of each side labelled “Borussen”. Just who are the true Borussen is a point of contention among the two sets of supporters - Gladbach arguably have more of a claim to the title since their club’s formation pre-dates BVB's by nine years - but what is certain is the proud place both of them hold in Germany’s football history.
From the bundersleaga website. Pretty interesting
love to visit there while jude is still playing for them looks mint
We're going there for the group stage. nice video again bro
Ah yeah of course. Seems like you always get Dortmund haha!
...(also the return of Haaland)
10:00 def camp nou and san siro
I definitely need to see the San Siro before they rebuild it!!!
It's a truly iconic stadium. But not the most iconic. For me; Maracana, San Siro, Azteca, Camp Nou and Wembley are the top 5 most iconic in the world
Bernabeu > Wembley
We love A psv shirt mate u should come to a game at the Phillips stadium😁
Former Celtic Captain Paul Lambert was in 1997 Champions league winners team.
Westfalenstadion 😍
San siros another iconic one and of course Celtic Park 🍀
Fun part at 12:32. Former Dortmund managerJürgen Klopp's broken spectacles. They didn't survive a game against Bayen Munich, 3:1 for Dortmund, because "Kloppo" was cheering so frantically. Funny the slip of tongue at 13:28 as the German DFB Pokal is named as the "Dutch" cup. Guess that's news to the Netherlands.
Which stadiums you haven’t filmed yet are on your list
Bayern Munich, PSV, Ajax (for a match, done the tour). Also teams in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and other places in Central/Eastern Europe. South America & MLS would also be unreal one day. Too many to mention haha! Thanks for watching
@@FootyAdventures what about Mexico??
@@FootyAdventures would love to see how you feel about mls atmospheres. There’s also a lot of good stadium tours in the us - a few even let you run around on the actual pitch
@@FootyAdventures love to see a tour vlog for the Millerntor Stadion in Hamburg!!(the home ground of St. Pauli🟤⚪☠)
If you're this close, you MUST come to experience a Dynamo Dresden game.
"Section K" is just crazy.
30K+ for German THIRD Tier!
Dave "A Fifer in Dresden".
There can't be many Fifers in Dresden!!! I'll definitely add them to the list for next time I'm over

I live in Seattle WA and a huge fan of the current CONCACAF Champions League winners, Seattle Sounders. They share their ground with the football team, Seattle Seahawks. But I lived in Frankfurt as a kid and remain a big fan of Eintracht Frankfurt. There are also 3 other Frankfurt clubs, which are in the lower leagues... FSV Frankfurt, FC Posavina Frankfurt, and FSV Fortuna Frankfurt 1973. FSV Frankfurt have had the biggest rivalry with Eintracht but all 4 clubs are very close in distance with each other. So if you come to Frankfurt, you probably can have 4 videos and you would not have to change hotel rooms. If you go see Bayern Munich... don't forget about 1860 Munich.
Didn't Eintracht have a rivalry with Kickers Offenbach? I thought Offenbach was the rival of Eintracht
I would love to go and see Home park
Please do international stadium tour in other country as well...all around the globe
You have to Visit the Borussia Mönchengladbach Stadium and Museum it‘s great and the Museum is in englisch
Boca juniors would love to see a home game there
Emirates,Stamford bridge & borussia 🔥
My club for life
Great vlog. There are pros and cons to doing the self guided tour. 100% agree with your pros but the cons are you can miss out on a few behind the scenes areas only accessible by staff. Also, when I went on the Hamburg tour they showed us how they converted a stand from a seating area to a terrace. Something you'd definitely not see on your own! 😂
love to see a tour vlog for the Millerntor Stadion in Hamburg!!(the home ground of St. Pauli🟤⚪☠)
Maybe you know it by now. But Verein is pronounced like --->fair-I-n :-) Nice Video!
Hiya Sam, I didn't know the Westfalonstadion holds 81,000, do they play Germany matches there? I enjoy your vlogs are you going to Celtic V Real Madrid tonight? this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
The capacity of 81,000 is only for Bundesliga matches. For European and international matches the capacity is reduced to almost 66,000. This is because the standing areas are replaced with seating to comply with UEFA regulations.
Had to look this up after your comment but the stadium was built for the 1974 World Cup
Falkirk vs dunfermlime league one derby coming up soon support will be massive for a third tier match would be worth the watch
We’ll be there next month to watch NUFC in the Champions League 😍🖤🤍🖤🤍
a the tour finaly ok ha cool ive been to man u when they were upgrading it doing a tour years ago, games at hampdon thats it well and murryfield a tour if that counts, kindof footballs has been played there in the past im sure
Go 2 dynamo dresden stadium would like 2 see it..
🖤💛🤘Luv ya channel 👊
Royal Antwerp Football Club in Belgium. They´re nicknamed "the great old" because they´re the oldest club in Belgium.
Borussia is the latinized version of Prussia. In contemporary german prussia is Preussen.
I wish my team had a stadium :( everyone is very selfish here that they don’t care about the club💔💛🖤 I love borussia i wish they win the league this year and Ittihad too 💛🖤
please visit Allianz Arena in munich ♥
you missed a great old firm game my friend but as per fantastic video
Sake, thought I'd have a wee video of you watching Celtic embarrass Sevco to look forward to.
The biggest stadium in Germany. 😊
It’s the third largest, the capacity is only 65,829 when it’s converted into an all seater stadium, making it smaller than the Allianz Arena and Olympiastadium. Neither the Allianz or Olympiastadium have the number of standing sections as Signal Iduna Park
@@rhowell1978 good knowledge Robert 😊
Yea, the yellow wall makes this stadium iconic
