Tracing their storied history back to 1909, Borussia Dortmund have established themselves as stalwarts of German football. The club's fortress - the Signal Iduna Park - serves as their homestead; a sanctuary where the echoes of success reverberate through the decades.
The current monetary value of the Borussia Dortmund playing unit sits roughly at a handsome sum of around £378m, a figure duly noted by Transfermarkt. This puts them in higher echelons of the European football market.
With a complement of 23 players that boasts an average age of 26, there's a robust blend of youth and experienced heads within the Dortmund ranks. It's a cocktail that often yields fruitful results.
As for this season, the Dortmund lads have been toiling away on multiple fronts - juggling four competitions in their fixture calendar. They've made strides in their domestic league, currently sitting in a respectable 4th place in the Bundesliga. Their cup run in the DFB-Pokal saw them reach the Second Round. Globally speaking, they managed to grapple their way into Group F in the Club World Cup. On the continent, they distinguished themselves reaching the Quarter Finals of the Champions League. A busy season, indeed, for the German side.
