Historic achievement: BVB crowned German champions for the first time | OneFootball

After a thrilling final, Borussia Dortmund secures the German Blind Football Championship for the first time. Jonathan Tönsing scores twice, capping an almost perfect season.

Borussia Dortmund has made club history: For the first time ever, BVB’s blind football team are German champions. On the final matchday of the Blind Football Bundesliga in Nuremberg, the Black and Yellows defeated SF BG Blista Marburg 2–0 to clinch the title.

Both goals were scored by Jonathan Tönsing, who, with a total of 24 league goals, also became the top scorer of the season. The forward scored once from an indirect free kick and once after a strong solo run. “It’s wonderful that so many BVB fans traveled here to Nuremberg. Nuremberg and Dortmund — that’s quite a distance. The fact that so many made the journey is a huge honor for all of us. I think we were able to give the fans a lovely afternoon. Now we can all say together: We are German champions!” Tönsing said enthusiastically after the match.

With seven wins from eight matches, coach Enrico Göbel’s team crowned an almost perfect season. “It’s slowly sinking in — it’s just fantastic. In the past we had a few chances to become champions. This time we finally did it together, and the joy is immense,” said Göbel, who took over the team two years ago.

Captain Hasan Altunbas was also moved: “When I look into the faces of all our players, I see nothing but pride. Everyone knows we achieved something great today. We can inscribe this day in our history books — and we are incredibly proud of that.”

The final matchday took place as part of the DFB Sepp Herberger Foundation’s Football Inclusion Days on Nuremberg’s Hauptmarkt. Hundreds of spectators celebrated the historic success together with the players, in an event organized by the DFB Foundation, the City of Nuremberg, the Bavarian Football Association, and 1. FC Nürnberg.

In the 18-year history of the Blind Football Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund is only the fourth club to win the title. Record champions remain MTV Stuttgart with seven titles, followed by Marburg (six) and FC St. Pauli (four).
