SV Elversberg sold its entire away allocation of more than 8,000 tickets for Saturday’s Bundesliga match at Borussia Dortmund, a club record for an away game.

The ticket count exceeds the population of Elversberg itself, the district of roughly 7,500 people where the team plays, according to Dortmund. Saturday will be the first Bundesliga meeting between the clubs.

Elversberg was playing in Germany’s fourth tier four and a half years ago. It enters the match with 13 points from eight league games in its first Bundesliga season after beating Mainz 4–1 last weekend. Dortmund hosts the match at Signal Iduna Park at 9:30 a.m. ET.
