## Bundesliga era
Dortmund was the city where the [Bundesliga](https://www.edgepedia.org/bundesliga) was created at the 1962 DFB convention, and the club entered the new league in 1963/64 as the last champions of the pre-Bundesliga era and a founding member[1](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/borussia-dortmund-bundesliga-club-by-club-historical-guide-klopp-reus-zorc-24117). In the league's opening match, Friedhelm "Timo" Konietzka scored the first goal in Bundesliga history after only 58 seconds, in a 3-2 defeat away at Werder Bremen[1](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/borussia-dortmund-bundesliga-club-by-club-historical-guide-klopp-reus-zorc-24117).
The club's stay was interrupted once: relegated in 1972, Dortmund returned to the first division in 1976 and has remained there since[1](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/borussia-dortmund-bundesliga-club-by-club-historical-guide-klopp-reus-zorc-24117). Through 2018/19 the club ranked third in the all-time Bundesliga table with 52 seasons, 1,764 matches, 784 wins, and 2,022 points on the two-points-per-win basis[5](https://rsssf.org/tablesd/duialltime.html).
**Individual marks.** Michael Zorc's 463 Bundesliga appearances between 1981 and 98 remain the club record, and the same player scored 131 goals in that competition[1](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/borussia-dortmund-bundesliga-club-by-club-historical-guide-klopp-reus-zorc-24117) • [2](https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/Statistics/01/85/99/80/1859980_DOWNLOAD.pdf). Manfred Bürgsmüller leads the club's Bundesliga scoring with 135 goals[1](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/borussia-dortmund-bundesliga-club-by-club-historical-guide-klopp-reus-zorc-24117). [Youssoufa Moukoko](https://www.edgepedia.org/youssoufa-moukoko) set the club's youngest-player mark at 16 years and one day[1](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/borussia-dortmund-bundesliga-club-by-club-historical-guide-klopp-reus-zorc-24117).
## Titles and points records
Five Bundesliga championships (1994/95, 1995/96, 2001/02, 2010/11, 2011/12) make Dortmund the joint-second most successful club of the Bundesliga era after Bayern Munich[1](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/borussia-dortmund-bundesliga-club-by-club-historical-guide-klopp-reus-zorc-24117). The 2011/12 side set a then-Bundesliga record of 81 points and beat Bayern Munich 5-2 in the DFB Cup final for the club's first double[1](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/borussia-dortmund-bundesliga-club-by-club-historical-guide-klopp-reus-zorc-24117).
Runner-up finishes are also a record: the 2025/26 second place was the club's tenth, level with Bayern Munich as the record vice-champions in Bundesliga history[6](https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/5/18/Best-defence-clean-sheet-record-sold-out-facts-about-the-2025-26-season.html). That season's 73 points were the fifth-best points total in club history, behind 81 (2011/12), 78 (2015/16), 76 (2018/19), and 75 (2010/11)[6](https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/5/18/Best-defence-clean-sheet-record-sold-out-facts-about-the-2025-26-season.html).
## Defensive and goalkeeper records
In 2025/26 Dortmund conceded 34 goals, the best defense in the league, achieved for the third time after 1965/66 and 2010/11[6](https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/5/18/Best-defence-clean-sheet-record-sold-out-facts-about-the-2025-26-season.html). [Gregor Kobel](https://www.edgepedia.org/gregor-kobel) became the first BVB goalkeeper to keep 15 clean sheets in a single season, a club record[6](https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/5/18/Best-defence-clean-sheet-record-sold-out-facts-about-the-2025-26-season.html) • [7](https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/10/13/Numbers-Facts-Records-Just-How-Strong-Is-BVB-Under-Niko-Kovac.html). The 34 goals conceded rank as the fourth-lowest tally in club history, behind 2010/11 (22, a club record), 2011/12 (25), and 2001/02 (33)[6](https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/5/18/Best-defence-clean-sheet-record-sold-out-facts-about-the-2025-26-season.html).
## European record
Dortmund's European record includes several firsts and milestones. The club was the first German side to win a continental title, taking the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1966[1](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/borussia-dortmund-bundesliga-club-by-club-historical-guide-klopp-reus-zorc-24117). Its first European Cup victory came on 1 August 1956, a 4-3 win over Spora Luxembourg, and its first Champions League win on 18 October 1995, 1-0 against Steaua Bucharest[3](https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/2/18/Facts-Borussias-100th-victory-at-the-top-level.html). The 1997 Champions League final win over Juventus in Munich remains the club's European Cup triumph[1](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/borussia-dortmund-bundesliga-club-by-club-historical-guide-klopp-reus-zorc-24117).
The 100th win in the competition, a 2-0 home victory over Atalanta, came in the club's 206th European Cup/Champions League game, with 40 draws and 66 defeats; Dortmund was the second German club to reach the milestone[3](https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/2/18/Facts-Borussias-100th-victory-at-the-top-level.html). One quirk sits inside that count: on 27 August 2003 a second-leg qualifying match against Club Brugge ended 2-1 after extra time with the tie level on aggregate, and Dortmund lost the penalty shoot-out, but UEFA officially recorded the match as a BVB victory[3](https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/2/18/Facts-Borussias-100th-victory-at-the-top-level.html).
**Stadium and away records.** In home Champions League matches at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, Dortmund lost only two of its last 23 games, with 14 wins and seven draws[3](https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/2/18/Facts-Borussias-100th-victory-at-the-top-level.html). The club's longest away drought in the competition is at the Santiago Bernabéu, where it went eight matches without a win, the longest such run by any club at a single stadium in the Champions League[8](https://as.com/us/futbol/borussia-dortmund-vuelve-a-sufrir-en-el-santiago-bernabeu-n/). In September 2025 the 4-4 draw with Juventus became the highest-scoring draw in Champions League history[6](https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/5/18/Best-defence-clean-sheet-record-sold-out-facts-about-the-2025-26-season.html).
## Attendance
Dortmund became the first club in European football to average an attendance of over 80,000 in a season, and its southern stand, the Yellow Wall, is the world's largest standing terrace at a capacity of about 24,000[1](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/borussia-dortmund-bundesliga-club-by-club-historical-guide-klopp-reus-zorc-24117). Every Bundesliga home game in the 2024 and 2025 calendar years was sold out with 81,365 fans[4](https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2025/12/31/BVBs-top-marks-of-2025.html), and a UEFA report found Dortmund, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal were the clubs that maxed out their stadium capacity[9](https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/0292-1c2a6cd356a3-b15a4601a345-1000/european_club_talent_and_competition_landscape_2024_compressed.pdf).
