Borussia Dortmund joins Copa City – BVB matchday goes digital

Borussia Dortmund is joining Copa City, a game that puts fans in charge of shaping the matchday environment. Unlike traditional football games that focus solely on tactics and player performances, Copa City takes a step back to showcase what makes football special—the culture, the preparation, and the city that comes to life when matchday arrives.

In Copa City, players won’t just be managing teams but the entire football experience. From ensuring BVB supporters have the best accommodations when traveling, to setting up entertainment zones where fans can gather before the big match, to overseeing security and stadium logistics. This game allows players to recreate the full spectrum of a Borussia Dortmund matchday.

The gaming experience at Copa City is an opportunity to engage with fans in a new way and deepen the connection with the gaming world. Fans can live out their passion for football but also for innovation, creativity, and digital experiences.

The close dialogue between the developers and BVB should make it possible for fans to feel at home when playing the game. From the chants to the city’s energy, the goal is to make this experience as close to reality as possible.

How difficult was this decision for you?<\/b> \nCarsten Cramer:<\/b> \u201cYes, I still am. That\u2019s why the decision wasn\u2019t easy for me. But if we\u2019re speaking out so clearly in favor of 50+1, and if the solidarity and unity of BVB is as important as they are to me, then we simply have to consider all perspectives and all the concerns of our stakeholders and, ultimately, make a decision.\u201d <\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/11/13/bvb-v-/Rheinmetall-Cramer-Armin.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Rheinmetall-Cramer-Armin-1794587673822\"> <\/p>\n And how does the dialogue with members work when it comes to such decisions?<\/b> \nCarsten Cramer:<\/b> \u201cDialogue, engagement, and criticism are expressly encouraged as part of our dialogue with our membership, and we listen.

However, this must remain an absolute exception and an isolated case. Otherwise, we\u2019ll seriously jeopardize the trust we\u2019ve worked so hard to build in the business community.\u201d<\/p>\nMr. Papperger, why did Rheinmetall decide to partner with BVB in 2024, and what impact has the partnership had from your perspective?<\/b> \nArmin Papperger:<\/b> \u201cWe entered into this partnership with great conviction, as did BVB. Security and defense capabilities are issues that, now more than ever, belong at the heart of society, and a football club like Borussia Dortmund, with its influence, reaches more people than almost any other social actor. We have achieved these goals after three years. We knew that a collaboration like this would spark discussion. We certainly anticipated that. It\u2019s the only way to open up spaces for discourse, and debates like these were - and remain - important and will continue to be actively pursued. Many of our employees have also become true BVB fans over the past few years. For me, that\u2019s a wonderful outcome, and I\u2019m sure it will stay that way.\u201d<\/p>\nMr. Cramer, how important was this partnership for BVB from a financial perspective?<\/b> \nCarsten Cramer:<\/b> \u201cAs a KGaA, we bear responsibility for BVB\u2019s athletic, financial, and social future. It would therefore be a lie to say that financial considerations weren\u2019t also a factor. We will no longer have the revenue from the sponsorship agreement starting in the summer of 2027 - that\u2019s a fact. This reduces our financial flexibility. We\u2019ll have to reprioritize planned investments and critically examine how we can find sustainable solutions. I\u2019ll also speak openly about this at the upcoming general members\u2019 assembly. \nSponsorship agreements are generally very important for football clubs. Among other things, they help us finance infrastructure, players, and our stadium, and keep up with international competition. Without such partners, it would be a significant challenge to compensate for lost revenue. After all, costs aren\u2019t going down, and we still have a lot planned at BVB.\u201d<\/p>\nMr. Papperger, Rheinmetall will continue to support BVB in the future.

In that regard, I\u2019m glad that our box will remain. For us, this is a sign of our connection to the club and the region. In addition, we\u2019ll continue to carry out joint initiatives, such as supporting Ukrainian children at the football academy.\u201d <\/p>\nMr. Cramer, what does this mean specifically for Rheinmetall\u2019s visibility in connection with Borussia Dortmund?<\/b> \nCarsten Cramer:<\/b> \u201cThere will no longer be a traditional sponsorship agreement, and consequently, no advertising board or branding.
