Elversberg set club record with 8,000 fans at Borussia Dortmund

Elversberg took a club-record 8,000 travelling supporters to Signal Iduna Park for their Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund, according to Get German Football News. The visitors lost 2-1, their fourth defeat of the 2026/27 season.

The away following is notable for a club that had never played above Germany's 3. Liga until 2023, and the report notes the 8,000 fans represent 61 percent of the town's population. Head coach Vincent Wagner said before the trip: "Hooray, the whole community is here."

Felix Nmecha scored twice in the second half to put Dortmund 2-0 up, and Noel Futkeu's 81st-minute bicycle kick gave Elversberg hope of a comeback. The defeat leaves the Saarland club on 13 points after nine matchdays, a tally the report describes as commendable for a side playing in Germany's fourth tier in 2022.
