Signal Iduna Park, also known as Westfalenstadion, stands in Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, as a football stadium. Borussia Dortmund uses the ground for its home matches.

Four roofed grandstands surround the pitch, creating a clear structure around the stadium’s central playing area. The southern terrace forms its defining feature. Supporters call this standing terrace the Yellow Wall, a name linked with the stadium’s intense football atmosphere. The stadium is wheelchair accessible for visitors.

The venue has hosted FIFA World Cup matches and a UEFA Cup final. UEFA competitions call it BVB Stadion Dortmund. The name Signal Iduna Park comes from a sponsorship agreement with Signal Iduna, an insurance company. The stadium forms a central part of Dortmund’s football culture.

The idea for a new ground arose as Borussia Dortmund’s following grew, before the venue hosted international football. Borussia Dortmund later bought the stadium back. Extensions followed the club’s successes, while modernisation added under-soil heating and video screens for match days. The venue links football history with a distinctive architectural setting in Dortmund.
