Gelbe Wand (Yellow Wall) — UEFA Exception Claim: Dortmund does not have a historical or current exception to maintain standing areas in the South Stand for Champions League matches; UEFA regulations require it to be converted to seated accommodation.
Gelbe Wand (Yellow Wall) — Tifo Location and Frequency: Major tifos are choreographed inside the stand rather than on the exterior facade, and full-facade exterior displays are neither routine nor standard before every major match.
Revierderby — Borussia Dortmund has won five Bundesliga titles, not eight; the club holds eight German Championships total including pre-Bundesliga era.

BVB 09 Founding — Founding Name: The entry falsely claims '09' and 'Dortmund' were not part of the original name; the club was officially registered from day one as Ballspiel-Verein Borussia von 1909 Dortmund, which explicitly included both elements.
