Congratulations, that is your club
Welcome to Borussia Dortmund. You are a Schwarzgelber now, if you want to be.
The nickname you will hear is BVB. You are rooting against Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich. Home is Signal Iduna Park in the Bundesliga. The club is based in Dortmund, Germany.
Home of the Yellow Wall, the largest standing terrace in European football, and a club known for developing young players, including several Americans, before selling them on.

What to know before you follow them
Dortmund are the perennial second-best club in Germany and sell their best players regularly, often to Bayern. The atmosphere is the reason people stay.

What people sing
You'll Never Walk Alone
Yes, the same song as Liverpool. Dortmund sing it too, and both sets of supporters are entirely comfortable with that.
Heja BVB
The club anthem, sung before kickoff. Short, repetitive, and designed for 80,000 people to manage at once.
Who the rivals are
Schalke 04
The Revierderby, between two clubs a few miles apart in the old coal and steel region. Among the most hostile fixtures in Europe.
Bayern Munich
Less a derby than a grievance: Bayern have repeatedly signed Dortmund's best players.
Following them from America
Grew substantially while Christian Pulisic and Giovanni Reyna were at the club, and a good deal of it stayed after they left.
