Borussia Dortmund’s 80,000 capacity Signal Iduna Park is set to become a coronavirus treatment centre.

Germany’s largest stadium will join the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic from tomorrow with the North Stand of the arena being transformed into a medical hub.

Patients with any symptoms of the infection are being invited to attend the stadium when its doors open tomorrow. The medical centre will be open to the public every day from 12pm until 4pm.

Chief executive of the club, Hans-Joachim Watzke, said: “Our stadium is the flagship of our city; it is a focal point for almost everyone in Dortmund and the surrounding area, and thanks to its technical, infrastructural and spatial qualities it is the ideal location to actively help people who have been infected with the coronavirus or who are experiencing related complaints such as respiratory problems and fever.

“It is our responsibility and our wish to do absolutely everything in our power to ensure these people get help. In the KVWL (Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians for Westfalen-Lippe), we have the perfect partner by our side to fight this battle successfully.”

This week Glasgow giants Rangers said they were “ready and willing” to make Ibrox available to the NHS as the health service continue to battle against the coronavirus.

A club spokesperson said: "This week we have shown our appreciation for the tireless work of NHS staff.

"As an institution, we value the contribution of the NHS across the United Kingdom.

"We are open to assisting the NHS in any viable form. This week, we offered free parking for NHS workers in local facilities.

"We are ready and willing to help in any way we can, in line with government guidelines."
