The Borussia Dortmund U23s have donated €1,500 from the team coffers to the Nordstadtliga via the BVB foundation "leuchte auf". In a symbolic gesture, goalkeeper Silas Ostrzinski and captain Franz Pfanne presented a cheque to Mirza Demirovic of the Nordstadtliga together with foundation manager Maike Vollmer.

The Nordstadtliga is a street football league based only two kilometres from the Borsigplatz and is sponsored by the City of Dortmund, AWO, the Dortmund Fan Project and the BVB Foundation. It has been in existence since 2001, and offers many children and young people from different backgrounds not just a leisure activity but also a means of integrating into social structures.
