The Legacy

Borussia Dortmund finished 16th in the Bundesliga and kept their place by winning the relegation play-off. Michael Zorc remained a pivotal presence in midfield alongside Marcel Răducanu and defender Günter Kutowski. Artic served as the front sponsor for this Adidas home shirt throughout the season. These players faced a difficult domestic campaign while attempting to stabilize the club within the top division. The tactical approach relied on the consistency of the established core as the team worked to distance themselves from the lower reaches of the league table.

Key Moment

Borussia Dortmund secured their Bundesliga status in 1985-1986 by winning a three-match relegation playoff series against Fortuna Köln.
