Borussia Dortmund supporters have been nominated within the category "Best Sporting Moment of the Year 2017" for one of the globally recognised "Laureus World Sports Awards".

The committee's decision is in recognition of the BVB fans' conduct after the Champions League match against AS Monaco in April 2017 was cancelled due to a bomb attack on the BVB team bus. Since the fixture had to be postponed to the following day, many travelling AS Monaco fans were without a bed and accommodation. Dortmund fans provided a place to stay and hospitality for their guests from the principality. (br)
