Borussia Dortmund on FM26 - Jobe and the Yellow Wall
2nd in Bundesliga 2025-26 (73 pts). Champions League. Jobe Bellingham (Jude's brother, 19) signs at BVB — following in his brother's footsteps. Signal Iduna Park (81,365 seats standing, LARGEST STADIUM IN GERMANY) and THE YELLOW WALL (25,000 standing, Europe's largest terrace). Niko Kovač saved the club from an 11th-place finish in 2024-25.
Why choose Borussia Dortmund?
Because Borussia Dortmund is THE SOUL OF GERMAN FOOTBALL. The Yellow Wall — 25,000 supporters standing in a single stand, the largest in Europe — is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IMAGE IN WORLD FOOTBALL. Signal Iduna Park (81,365 standing + seated, Germany's largest stadium) shakes at every home match. 2nd in Bundesliga 2025-26 (73 pts), Champions League, with Niko Kovač (arrived in February 2025 from an 11th-place catastrophe, qualifying BVB for CL). Jobe Bellingham (19, Jude's brother) signs at BVB — following the path his brother blazed before the Real Madrid move. And the BANKRUPTCY story of 2005: the club had to sell their own stadium to a third-party company to survive — and has since bought it back. Debt was a lesson in humility. Lewandowski played here. Klopp won everything here. In FM26, this is the most emotionally intense adventure in Germany.
Jobe Bellingham: the yellow hope
Jude Bellingham at Dortmund: explosive, CL finalist in 2023-24. Jobe, his brother, follows. 19, a complete midfielder with vision and volume. In FM26, build BVB around him — make him the leader for the next 3-5 seasons before a big club comes calling. That's the BVB model: develop, shine, sell high.
Tactics: Westfalenstadion intensity
Dortmund plays a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 with high pressing and quick transition play — Klopp's legacy perpetuated. In FM26, activate the counter-press (Gegenpressing!), push up the lines, and play forward fast. The Yellow Wall drives the team — at home, BVB is practically unbeatable when everything clicks.
Objectives: the 9th title and the CL
Dethrone Bayern (8 titles vs BVB, including 11 consecutive recently) for a 9th Bundesliga. And the Champions League — finals lost in 1997 (won!), 2013 and 2024 (lost). The 2nd CL is BVB's OBSESSION.
BVB is the YELLOW WALL. Germany's finest passion, the bankruptcy story overcome, Jobe Bellingham arriving. In FM26, PURE EMOTIONAL football. Echte Liebe!
