​Anticipation is building for a thrilling season opener in the BVB Women’s Regionalliga, as reigning Italian champions AS Roma head to Rote Erde Stadium for a standout clash. Roma, the capital club, currently stands as the most prominent name in Italian women’s football, a status backed by their dominant form over the last four seasons, in which they clinched the league title three times. Their prowess extends onto the international stage, where the Giallorosse women are consistently among Europe’s elite, and they will once again compete in the UEFA Women’s Champions League for the 2026–27 season. This matchup promises to be a marquee event for fans and a stern test for Borussia Dortmund as they kick off their campaign against a storied European powerhouse.
Ticket sales for the friendly between BVB and Roma have already begun, with the general public invited to secure seats in advance. Borussia Dortmund supporters can purchase up to ten tickets through the online ticket shop, making it easy for clubs, small groups, or families to attend together. Supporters of AS Roma should reach out to the club directly to obtain their match tickets. To enhance the matchday experience, every ticket includes a public transit pass valid for VRR-operated services in Dortmund’s city area (fare zone 37, 2nd class). The pass ensures convenient, affordable travel to and from SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, and tickets can be downloaded free of charge via the DSW21 KombiTicket portal for easy access on mobile devices.
The season opener itself will feature two compelling angles: the BVB first team will take on AS Roma in a high-profile friendly, with kickoff scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. Tickets for the match are available now, and fans are encouraged to secure their seats early to avoid disappointment as the event approaches.
In a broader season context, August 15 represents a particularly special day for BVB supporters. That day, the team will host an opportunity for fans to meet the players and new signings, including the celebrated Alexandra Popp. Popp, who has long captained the German national team, is among seven new additions this summer who will be donning the BVB Women jersey for the upcoming season. Her leadership and championship pedigree are expected to have a substantial impact as the team aims to build on its regional success and compete more widely on the national and European stages.
This eagerly anticipated clash with AS Roma is more than a single game; it signals the start of a season full of ambition for Dortmund, as they test themselves against one of Europe’s form teams while engaging with a fan base eager to witness high-quality football. With inclusive ticketing that pairs match attendance with public transit, supporters can enjoy a seamless and affordable matchday experience. Whether you’re a devoted BVB follower, a Roma supporter, or a football enthusiast seeking a compelling opening matchup, this event offers a premier early-season showcase of talent, strategy, and passion in women’s football.
