Dortmund - Already playing in Germany's biggest stadium, Borussia Dortmund can look forward to even more support from the start of the 2015/16 campaign.

Youth focus

The club confirmed on Thursday the increase of the Signal Iduna Park's capacity by around 700 standing places to 81,359.

Block 63, which is located on the lowest level of the Nordtribüne and connects to the Westtribüne, is in the process of being turned into a standing area for fans between the ages of 15 and 18. The new standing area means that one of the world's largest terraces is about to get even bigger.

BVB have been playing at the Signal Iduna Park, formerly known as the Westfalenstadion, since 1974. During that time, the ground has played host to numerous major sporting events, including six games at the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
