It was carried onto the pitch in Germany's biggest stadium, the Westfalenstadion by a member of TYO, along with the other flags, just before the start of the match. The flags represented the nationalities of the players and of the supporters of the club.
The President of the German Football League Association Dr. Reinhard Rauball, who is also President of Borussia Dortmund and the former justice minister for North-Rhine Westphalia, gave a speech praising the campaign, while 40 nation's flags, including Tamil Eelam, Brazil, Sri Lanka and Japan were held on the pitch.
A total of 160 supporters from various backgrounds were involved in the campaign. The club also requested all fans on the ranks to bring their respective flags to show 'tolerance, respect, diversity and equality' according to a statement on the club's website.
