Dortmund have been the best-supported team in the Bundesliga in recent seasons, and they have a stunning home. The Westfalenstadion resembles Milan’s San Siro, box-like from the outside with yellow steel supports jutting out from the floor to the roof. Once inside, supporters will admire improvements made to the stadium which was built for the 1974 World Cup.

Famed as a cavern of noise during club matches, the supporters seated in the famed South Stand will have plenty to live up to. It is Germany’s equivalent of the Anfield Kop, and with all corners of the stadium now filled in and covered, the acoustics are to be experienced. The stadium staged the 2001 Uefa Cup final, and will also host a World Cup semi-final.
