Borussia Dortmund dedicate joint FIFA fan award to Hillsborough victims

Borussia Dortmund have dedicated the FIFA Fan Award that was jointly awarded to their fans and Liverpool fans to the 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.

At Monday's inaugural The Best award ceremony, FIFA honoured Dortmund and Liverpool fans after they sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" in unison ahead of their Europa League meeting, which was played the day before the 27th anniversary of the disaster.

The "chorus of solidarity" was selected by FIFA.com users as the winner of the FIFA Fan Award ahead of the Iceland fans who memorably supported their country at Euro 2016 and the ADO Den Haag fans who threw soft toys for terminally ill children.
