In North Rhine-Westphalia, a new legal basis for the stadium utilization with full seating and half standing capacity was published and disclosed today. In the Coronavirus Protection Ordinance of North Rhine-Westphalia, which will apply from October 1, 2021 onwards, the federal state government has now stipulated that the previous upper limit of capacity (previously 25,000 spectators) will fall from the coming weekend for large open-air events; the general hygiene and infection protection rules (including "3G" conditions, mask requirement, etc.) continue to apply. On the basis of the new regulations, Borussia Dortmund will henceforth have an new stadium upper capacity limit of approx. 67,000 spectators.

Borussia Dortmund welcomes this important step towards a return to normalcy and will now gradually adjust the ticketing processes and organizational procedures accordingly.
