Bundesliga
At least 200,000 fans are expected at the Dortmund title party
Dortmund is just one step away from winning the title and the city is already getting ready to get into their Christmas gear and start planning the big title party.
Dortmund is ready to celebrate the 9th championship in its history and the first since the 2011/12 season. The Westphalians welcome Mainz on Saturday (May 27, 4:30 p.m.) in the packed Signal Iduna Park and can secure the title with a win, no matter what Bayern do against Cologne.
The city of Dortmund is already planning the big celebration that will take place the next day if the Westphalians secure the title. According to police, at least 200,000 fans are expected to attend the championship party.
The coach with the football players and the trophy will leave at 12:09 and take a four-hour drive. Before the parade begins, the group signs the city’s “Golden Book”.
In addition, according to the mayor, there will be no public transmission of the game (e.g. on a pitch) because there is no agreement with the television provider. Of course, the Signal Iduna Park is already sold out.
The original Bundesliga trophy will be on display at the Westfalenstadion on Saturday, with a replica on display in Cologne should Bayern finally become champions.
