BVB arrive in Florida to kick off their CWC campaign

On Friday afternoon (local time), Borussia Dortmund’s first team arrived in the USA to take part in the FIFA Club World Cup. The flight from Düsseldorf to Fort Lauderdale in the state of Florida took around nine hours.

Except for Gregor Kobel, who is already in the U.S. following international duty with Switzerland, all players from the squad (see overview) were on board the flight to the States. The team’s first training session on American soil is scheduled for the evening (Florida is six hours behind German time). The arrival day will conclude with a team barbecue BVB will kick off the tournament on Tuesday with a match against Fluminense (12:00 local time/18:00 CEST) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The other group stage opponents are Mamelodi Sundowns (June 21, 12:00/18:00 CEST) and Ulsan HD (15:00/21:00 CEST). Both of these matches will take place at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio.
