BVB season opener on 10 August - DSW21 runs full home match offer

The club is expecting tens of thousands of fans at the BVB season opener at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday (10 August). The BVB women's team will kick things off at 1 p.m. against Juventus Turin at the Rothe Erde stadium. This will be followed by the men's season opener at Signal Iduna Park, which will end with a friendly match against Juventus Turin at 5.30 pm. DSW21 will be running its usual home match programme this Sunday, including significant reinforcements on the U45 light rail line and the 450 bus route.

DSW21 will run additional trains between 11.30 a.m. and 3 p.m. on the U45 line (Fredenbaum - main station - stadium/Westfalenhallen) between Fredenbaum and Westfalenhallen. Between 2 p.m. and 5.30 p.m. and after the final whistle, there will be a 4/5-minute interval between the main railway station and the Westfalenhalle or stadium.

Bus route 450 (Stadium/Westfalenhallen - Schanze or Spissenagelstr.) will also be increased and will run at least every 10 minutes from approx. 10.45 am to approx. 8.30 pm (instead of every 30 minutes as is normally the case on Sundays). The Uni-Shuttle and the additional E-cars that are used to home games will also run from around 2.30 pm.
