BVB fans light up the Südtribüne with massive choreography against Union | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund fans made an impressive statement on the South Stand during the home opener against Union Berlin. With a spectacular choreography and emotional memorial banners, they created a goosebump-inducing atmosphere.

The South Stand of Signal Iduna Park during the Bundesliga home game against Union Berlin impressively demonstrated why it is considered one of the most spectacular fan terraces in the world. Around 25,000 supporters on the legendary "Yellow Wall" transformed the stand into an impressive choreographic masterpiece before the game began.

Initially, the entire South Stand was bathed in shades of gray, accompanied by the famous quote from club legend Adi Preißler: "In life, all theory is gray...". At a perfectly orchestrated moment, the fans dropped the gray panels to reveal a sea of green. The second part of the quote then became visible: "What matters is on the pitch."

The spectacle was further enhanced by huge banners: One depicted a player's leg kicking the ball, while the upper sections showed a fan block, underscored by flares. The choreography also paid tribute to BVB's past titles and showcased the South Stand impressively.

Emotional Minute of Silence for Deceased BVB Fan Steini

Things got particularly emotional before the choreography: The fans started singing "Leuchte auf mein Stern Borussia" and joined in "You’ll Never Walk Alone" to honor the late BVB supporter Michael Steinmetzer, known as "Steini". Numerous banners on the South Stand also paid tribute to the long-time fan.

A quarter of an hour before kickoff, all black and yellow scarves were raised, setting the entire arena in the mood for the first home game of the new season. The atmosphere was electrifying from the start, once again underscoring the legendary reputation of the South Stand.

On the pitch, Borussia Dortmund also delivered an impressive performance. The team convincingly won their first league home game 3-0 against Union Berlin. Serhou Guirassy scored a double, having scored four goals in the last encounter between the two clubs six months ago.

The combination of creative choreography, emotional remembrance, and strong performance on the field made the home opener in Dortmund an unforgettable experience for both fans and players alike.
