Training & Match Venues for BVB Women
Training at the Football Academy
Playing football on historic ground: This is where the championship teams of 1995, 1996, and 2002, as well as the 1997 Champions League winners, prepared for their games. With the former training grounds of the black and yellow professionals, now home to the BVB Evonik Football Academy, Borussia Dortmund's female footballers have an excellent training and match venue with an artificial turf pitch and small field.
The area on Strobelallee, located right next to SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, is adapted to meet the needs of BVB's female footballers and coaches. Additionally, new and innovative training materials offer optimal conditions to improve football skills.
Fans and companions can support the players from the sidelines during training and matches. Toilets and vending machines are also available on the premises of the BVB Evonik Football Academy.
Parking spaces (except on professional match days) are available directly at the Football Academy, in the "Luftbad" parking lot (access under the FanWelt), and along Strobelallee.
Home Games of the Women at Stadion Rote Erde
The Stadion Rote Erde, whose name derives from "cleared earth," was completed in 1926 and served as Borussia Dortmund's home ground from 1937 until the opening of Westfalenstadion (now SIGNAL IDUNA PARK) in 1974. In Rote Erde, BVB celebrated great successes in the 1950s and 1960s, including three German championships. This historic venue also hosts a significant portion of Borussia Dortmund women's football team's matches.
The very first match in the history of the black and yellow women’s football team also took place at Stadion Rote Erde. As in the first football match in Rote Erde in 1926, when a Dortmund city selection faced Wacker Munich, TSV 1860 Munich was the guest in August 2021. The BVB women defeated the guests 3-1, laying the foundation for another black and yellow era at Stadion Rote Erde. In addition to the women’s football team, BVB’s U23 team also plays their home games in the shadow of SIGNAL IDUNA PARK.
Toilets and mobile food and drink stands are also available on match days. Parking spaces (except on professional match days) are available in the "Luftbad" parking lot (access under the FanWelt) and along Strobelallee.
