BVB sports director Michael Zorc does not consider the low popularity of fans in Dortmund's cup game against FC Ingolstadt (2-0) to be worrying. “Compared to other stadiums, I think 25,000 is a lot. In 2006 we also played against Unterhaching in the second round, when we had 18,000 spectators. In this respect, that's a big increase, "said Zorc of" Bild "(Wednesday).
Dortmund - When Borussia Dortmund played against the second division side, only 25,813 visitors were in the stadium, although 67,000 were allowed.
Before the corona pandemic, BVB was regularly one of the best-visited clubs in Europe with an average of 80,000 spectators.
Borussia's tight schedule could have contributed to the low popularity.
In addition to the duel with Ingolstadt, there will be more home games against 1. FC Köln (Saturday) and Ajax Amsterdam (Wednesday) within a week.
