BVB announces strategic partnership with BG Pathum United
Over the next two years, BVB and BGPU will co-organize the “BG X BVB Inter-School Tournament” in Thailand, aimed at boys and girls from international schools across the country. The tournament will feature competitive matches divided into various age groups, offering young players an opportunity to showcase their skills on a prominent platform. Licensed BVB coaches will travel to Thailand to scout, coordinate, and assist in the tournament, while also leading football workshops and clinics for participants. The highlight will be the identification of the top performing players from the tournament, who will be awarded a unique training trip to Borussia Dortmund’s renowned football academy in Germany.
To further strengthen youth development, BG Pathum United will host an annual school break football camp in Thailand, open to aspiring players from across the region. This pay-in program will feature BVB youth coaches, who will lead intensive training sessions designed to elevate participants’ skills and understanding of the game.
Additionally, each year of the partnership will see BG Pathum United send one youth team to Dortmund for a football experience. This program includes training sessions, friendly matches against local teams, a BVB matchday experience, and cultural activities, giving young players from Thailand a firsthand glimpse into the world of Borussia Dortmund.
In tandem with these initiatives, BVB and BG Pathum United will bring BGSports digital content to fans, including exclusive behind-the-scenes (BTS) insights into Borussia Dortmund’s first team and more.
“We are thrilled to partner with BG Pathum United to further expand Borussia Dortmund’s presence in Southeast Asia and contribute to the development of football in Thailand. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to nurturing young talent and using football as a platform to inspire and unite communities. We look forward to creating unforgettable experiences for young players and fostering strong connections between our clubs,” said Dr Suresh Letchmanan, Managing Director of BVB Asia Pacific.
Piyasak Bhumichitra, CEO of BG Pathum United, remarked, “This collaboration marks a significant milestone for BG Pathum United in our commitment to advancing Thai football. We are confident that the initiatives from this partnership with Borussia Dortmund will help elevate the capabilities of Thai footballers to compete on the global stage.”
Borussia Dortmund is excited to embark on this partnership with BG Pathum United, aligning with a shared vision to inspire, engage, and develop the next generation of football talent in Thailand. This collaboration is a significant step in BVB’s ongoing efforts to expand its reach and impact within the international football community, fostering connections through shared passion and commitment to football.
