Recommendations for fans travelling to Germany

Sporting Clube de Portugal has issued the following recommendations for fans travelling to Dortmund for this Wednesday's Champions League encounter with Borussia Dormund:

• Sporting's fans will gather at Alter Markt (Old Market) in the centre of the town.
• The area is served by the Metro system (U – UBahn U46 U45).
• Signal Duna Park is the official name of Borussia Dormund's stadium and is served by various modes of public transport.
• The area will be supervised by both German and Portuguese police, as well as representatives of Sporting CP.
• Fans are to meet by 17:00 and will begin the journey to the stadium at 19:00.
• Should Sporting CP fans have tickets for areas other than those sold in Alvalade, fans will be permitted access after security validation by the host club.
• Our fans have been fantastic when it comes to avoiding the use of pyrotechnic devices and we encourage all fans to continue to act as an example, particularly considering the fines and potential closure of the stadium for use of such devices.
