JAKARTA - The Bundesliga club, Borussia Dortmund, will be on a tour in Southeast Asia. The plan is that Dortmund will visit Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia at the end of November.
This tour will be carried out by Dortmund simultaneously with the 2022 World Cup. So the main players who defend their country will certainly not appear.
Borussia Dortmund management director Carsten Cramer said his party was delighted to visit their supporters in Southeast Asia. Moreover, some time earlier they could not visit because of the ban on traveling due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund Sports Director Sebastian Kehl said the pause from the competition due to the World Cup was a unique annoyance because it was first carried out.
"It's also important for us to use these weeks as well as possible for players who don't take part in the World Cup. That also includes players from U23 and U19, who we want to introduce to senior squads at high levels," Kehl said on the club's official website.
"This exciting journey will help in that and we look forward to it, because apart from sports challenges, we see it as an obligation for Borussia Dortmund to represent our club and the entire Bundesliga internationally."
In line with Kehl, Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic said his team's trip to Southeast Asia to face several local clubs was important.
"When there is a tight schedule of matches, usually there is almost no time on trips abroad to be in contact with the country and its people," said Terzic.
"It's different in this incredible case, and in addition to some interesting sporting events, I look forward to meeting as many Black & Yellow fans as possible from countries in Southeast Asia and celebrating our spirit for our BVB with them."
According to the latest news, Borussia Dortmund in Indonesia will face Persib Bandung and Persebaya Surabaya in a trofeo match where all teams will meet.
