Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co. KGaA reported a net loss of EUR 21.7 million for the past financial year, attributed mainly to an early exit from the UEFA Champions League against Atalanta Bergamo, coupled with lost revenue from the FIFA Club World Cup. Total revenue declined by EUR 65.6 million to EUR 460.5 million, while transfer income reached EUR 59.3 million, driven by Jamie Gittens' transfer to Chelsea FC. Despite the loss, BVB maintains a solid equity around EUR 300 million and no new financial debts. The club is focusing on structural improvements and has secured new sponsorship deals, indicating ongoing growth potential. Plans include infrastructural investments, including a new health campus and enhanced training facilities expected to open by 2028.
