The club was founded 19 December 1909. The team began play in blue and white striped shirts with a red sash, and black shorts. In 1913, they donned the black and yellow strip so familiar today. In 1962, the DFB (Deutscher Fussball Bund or German Football Association) met in Dortmund and voted to finally establish a professional football league in Germany to begin play in August 1963 as the Bundesliga. Borussia earned its place among the first sixteen sides to play in the new league by winning the last pre-Bundesliga championship. |
The first goal ever scored in Bundesliga play was by Dortmund's Friedhelm Konietzka against Werder Bremen. In 1965, Dortmund captured its first German Cup. Borussia won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1966 (becoming the first German team to win a European title). They won Bundesliga championships in 1995 and 1996 - with Matthias Sammer from the '96 side being named European Footballer of the Year. One year later BVB won the UEFA Champions League. Borussia then went on to beat Brazilian club Cruzeiro 2-0 in the 1997 Intercontinental Cup Final.
