The Black and Yellow Schedule for October

In October, the BVB first team faces many pivotal challenges across all three competitions, with seven official matches in 22 days on the schedule. The Borussia Dortmund women’s handball team also has important matches ahead, as does the U19 squad, which faces FC Schalke in the Revierderby. Here are the highlights of a jam-packed October.

Sunday, 4 October (15:30 CET, live on Pluto TV): DJK Südwest Köln vs. BVB Women
With a perfect record of 18 points from six games and a goal differential of 26–0, things couldn’t be going much better for the BVB Women in the Regionalliga West so far. Four more matchdays are on the schedule for head coach Markus Högner’s team in October. First up for the BVB Women on 4 October is a trip to face DJK Südwest Köln. Unlike Borussia Dortmund, the Cologne-based team is still waiting for its first win of the season. The Black and Yellows are therefore clear favorites—just as they are in their other October matches against Rhenania Bottrop (11 Oct.), Vorwärts Spoho Köln (18 Oct..), and SGS Essen II (25 Oct.).

Wednesday, 7 October (19:30 CET, Dyn and sporteurope.tv): BVB Women’s Handball vs. Buxtehuder SV
The Dortmund women’s handball team has gotten off to a perfect start in the Alsco Women’s Handball Bundesliga, winning all four of its season games so far before the international break. Along with its fellow undefeated rivals, HSG Blomberg/Lippe and Thüringer HC, BVB sits at the top of the standings and aims to build on its great start. Their opponent on Matchday 5 will be Buxtehuder SV, which has won two of its four matches so far. The game will be played at the Wellinghofen Sports Hall.

Friday, 9 October (20:30 CET, live on Sky): BVB vs. Werder Bremen
Following the international break, BVB and Werder Bremen will kick off Matchday 5 of the Bundesliga. The team under head coach Niko Kovac enters the match as the league leader. It’s an excellent starting position that the Black and Yellows have earned with four wins in four Bundesliga matches. Werder also arrives at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK with momentum: The Bremen side has picked up a strong seven points from its last three games. For the first time since his return to Bremen, former BVB forward Niclas Füllkrug will face his old club.

Wednesday, 14 October (21:00 CET, DAZN): FK Bodø/Glimt vs. BVB
October 14 marks the start of a crazy week of away games for BVB! In just six days, Borussia Dortmund will play three away matches—spread across the continent. The “Bodø, Berlin, Baku” away trio kicks off in Norway, where the Black and Yellows will once again face FK Bodø/Glimt. The two teams already faced off last season during the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Back then, BVB surprisingly dropped two points in a 2–2 draw. This time, they’re determined to come away with all three points.

Saturday, 17 October (15:30 CET, Sky): 1. FC Union Berlin vs. BVB
Head coach Niko Kovac’s squad will then head to the capital on Saturday for their next Bundesliga away game. Caution is definitely warranted against 1. FC Union Berlin: Although Borussia won 3–0 in their last away game at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei in January of this year, BVB has also returned from Köpenick as the losing team four times since 2019.

Tuesday, 20 October (18:45 CET, DAZN): Sabah FK vs. BVB
To round out their three-game away stretch in six days, Borussia Dortmund is heading out on a truly long journey. Azerbaijani champions Sabah FK will host BVB on October 20 for Matchday 3 of the Champions League group stage. The club plays its home games in the Champions League at the Baku National Stadium in the capital. Baku and Dortmund are over 3,400 kilometers apart as the crow flies. It’s a true Champions League adventure for BVB against an opponent that suffered a 0–4 thrashing at Manchester United to kick off the group stage.

Saturday, 24 October (18:30 CET, Sky): BVB vs. Eintracht Frankfurt
Matchday 7 of the current Bundesliga season means another top match for BVB on Saturday evening. Eintracht Frankfurt will take the field at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. Last season, Borussia Dortmund engaged in thrilling showdowns with the Eagles, most recently securing the points in Dortmund with a spectacular 3–2 home victory on the penultimate matchday of the 2025–26 season. Frankfurt has had a mixed start to the new season and is aiming for an upset victory against BVB.

Sunday, 25 October (11 CET): FC Schalke 04 U19 vs. U19
The second matchup between the U19s and their local rivals from Gelsenkirchen promises to be another thrilling encounter. BVB narrowly won the first leg in August 1-0 and has kept FC Schalke at bay in the DFB Youth League ever since. The Black and Yellows are looking to secure more crucial points to qualify for the main round of the German U19 Championship.

Tuesday, 27 October (20:45 CET, Sky): BVB vs. Werder Bremen
For the second time in two and a half weeks, BVB will host Werder Bremen. Following their Bundesliga clash, the two teams are now set to face off in the second round of the DFB-Pokal. This marks the first time since the round of 16 in the 2019–20 season that these two storied clubs have met in the DFB-Pokal. Back then, the match at the Weserstadion ended 3–2 in favor of Werder.

Saturday, 31 October (18:30 CET, Sky): Bayern Munich vs. BVB
The last day of October isn’t just about celebrating Halloween—it’s also the date of the Bundesliga showdown against German double winners FC Bayern Munich. BVB is hoping for its eleventh-ever Bundesliga away win in Munich.

The partnership offers an opportunity to demonstrate how modern building technologies can support one of Europe\u2019s best-known football clubs.<\/p>\nAt the heart of the partnership is a shared belief in the power of people working together towards a common goal. Borussia Dortmund represents passion, togetherness and the conviction that extraordinary things can be achieved as a team, values that resonate strongly with Panasonic\u2019s commitment to innovation and responsibility.<\/p>\nJosé Manuel Alves, Regional Director for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK and Ireland, comments: \u201cBorussia Dortmund is far more than just a football club. BVB stands for emotion, solidarity and a unique bond between the team and the fans. At the same time, we are united by our responsibility towards future generations. With our technologies, we aim to help make the club\u2019s infrastructure more sustainable and support its decarbonisation targets. In this way, we combine top-class performance on the pitch with responsibility for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>BVB welcomes a strong partner for efficient and innovative technologies<\/b><\/h2>\nBorussia Dortmund regards the partnership as a key component of its strategic ambitions and the ongoing development of its infrastructure. Benedikt Scholz, Director Internationalization & Commercial Partnerships at Borussia Dortmund, says: "In Panasonic, we have found a partner who shares our ambitions and supports us on this journey with innovative technologies. Together, we want to show that football can have an impact far beyond the pitch. That is precisely where the strength of this partnership lies."<\/p>\n","exportedType":"text/html"},"id":"editable-345c585281","prio":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"prio","title":"Prio (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":false,"exportedType":"boolean"},"headline":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"headline","title":"Headline","multiValue":false,"value":"Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions becomes an official partner of Borussia Dortmund","exportedType":"text/plain"},"author":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"author","title":"Author","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"teaserType":"relatedContent","match":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"content-fragment","name":"match","title":"Related Match","multiValue":true,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"externalId":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"externalId","title":"External ID (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"displayOnHome":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"displayOnHome","title":"Display in News Wall on Homepage","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"url":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"url","title":"Vanity URL (LEAVE EMPTY FOR AUTOMATIC VANITY URL.

After the teenager made his international debut for the U.S. last Sunday, the forward went one better on Tuesday evening (local time): In the U.S. friendly against Chile at Energizer Park in St. Louis, Missouri, Albert came on as a substitute in the 71st minute. In stoppage time, the BVB player then scored the much-celebrated goal that sealed a 4-2 victory for his team.<\/p>\nAt the age of 17 years, four months, and eight days, he became the youngest goal scorer in U.S. international soccer history! Incidentally, with his record-breaking goal, Mathis Albert surpassed a certain Christian Pulisic, who became the youngest U.S. goal scorer in 2016 and was also under contract with Borussia Dortmund at the time. Albert has now beaten that age record by 122 days.<\/p>\n<h2>Kobel Keeps Another Clean Sheet<\/h2>\nGregor Kobel seems unbeatable right now. The BVB goalkeeper, who most recently kept clean sheets in the Bundesliga against Paderborn (3-0) and Stuttgart (1-0), kept another clean sheet in the second group stage match of the UEFA Nations League. \n<\/p>\nIn his Swiss national team\u2019s convincing 3-0 victory over Scotland, Kobel didn\u2019t have too much to do. The Swiss played with a man advantage starting in the 11th minute after Scotland\u2019s Jack Hendry was shown a red card and conceded virtually nothing defensively. As a result, Gregor Kobel enjoyed a relaxed evening and, at the same time, recorded his fourth consecutive competitive match without conceding a goal. Switzerland\u2019s next match is at home against Slovenia on 3 October.<\/p>\nMeanwhile, BVB prospect Enzo dos Santos suffered a crushing defeat. The 17-year-old and his Luxembourg national team lost 0-3 to Iceland. Dos Santos came on as a substitute midway through the second half, making his sixth senior international appearance.<\/p>\n<h2>Bensebaini\u2019s Algerians Stumble in Qualifiers \n<\/h2>\nThe Algerian national team entered their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Burundi as heavy favorites. After a disastrous start to the match, Algeria\u2014with Ramy Bensebaini once again starting at center back\u2014found themselves trailing 0\u20132. In the end, the North Africans managed to salvage a 2\u20132 draw, thereby at least defending their top spot in the qualifying group. \n<\/p>\nBensebaini\u2019s defensive partner from Dortmund\u2014Joane Gadou\u2014fared better. The BVB summer signing played for the French U21 national team in their European Championship qualifier in Estonia on Tuesday evening. He played the full 90 minutes in the Équipe Tricolore\u2019s comfortable 2-0 away victory, picking up a yellow card in the first half.<\/p>\n<h2>Svensson's Sweden Keeps the Points at Home<\/h2>\nDaniel Svensson has long since established himself as a starting fullback on the Swedish national team. On Monday evening, he once again played the full 90 minutes for the Scandinavians in their second UEFA Nations League group stage match, as they faced Poland in front of a home crowd in Solna. \n<\/p>\nSweden put on a strong performance, just as they had three days earlier against Romania (2-1), and secured a 3-1 victory thanks to an improved showing in the second half. Although Daniel Svensson and the team conceded a goal before halftime, he was, as usual, hard-working and covered a lot of ground at right back. Among other things, he won 71 percent of his tackles.  \n<\/p>\n<h2>Kaua Prates celebrates with the U-20 Selecao<\/h2>\nMeanwhile, Kaua Prates was once again in action for the Brazilian U-20 national team. The 18-year-old was in the Selecao\u2019s starting lineup for the friendly against the Danish U-20s and played for about an hour as a center back. With Brazil leading 3\u20131 at halftime, the young BVB defender was substituted midway through the second half; Brazil ultimately defeated the Danes 4\u20131.<\/p>\nSamuele Inacio is currently with the Italian senior national team. On Monday, however, he was not included in head coach Roberto Mancini\u2019s matchday roster for Italy\u2019s convincing 4-1 away victory over Turkey in the Nations League. <\/p>\n","title":"Text","multiValue":false,"value":"What a week for Mathis Albert!

The contract of Lars Ricken, Managing Director of Sports, has also been extended early and now runs through 30 June, 2030. Thomas Treß (responsible for Finance, Organization, Legal Affairs & Investor Relations) has decided, at his own request, to extend his contract\u2014which was originally set to expire on 30 June, 2027\u2014by an additional year until 30 June, 2028. He then intends to step down from the Executive Board and shift his professional focus to serving on supervisory and oversight boards of other companies, as well as to independent consulting work. Thomas Treß will continue to be available to Borussia Dortmund in an advisory capacity as needed. The employment contract of Svenja Schlenker, who was appointed managing director in November 2025, remains unchanged and runs through 31 December, 2028.<\/p>\n<h2>Strong Confidence in the Executive Board<\/b><\/h2>\nWith these long-term contract extensions, Borussia Dortmund is expressly committing to its current management team. These decisions stand for continuity and stability and ensure BVB\u2019s long-term success in both sports and business.<\/p>\nBVB President Hans-Joachim Watzke states: \u201cI have great confidence in Carsten Cramer and the entire BVB Board of Management. They possess the experience, expertise, and understanding of our club\u2019s unique identity needed to successfully lead Borussia Dortmund into the future. With the new corporate strategy and the restructuring process that has been initiated, important projects have been set in motion that are intended to position BVB for the future in terms of sports, business, structure, and culture. I am convinced that Borussia Dortmund is in very good hands with this management team.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>From Spokesperson to CEO<\/b><\/h2>\n\u201cI would like to thank the Executive Committee for their great trust and am very much looking forward to the tasks ahead of us. Together with the entire team, I want to position Borussia Dortmund for the future and continue to develop it with a clear vision. Our goal is to lead BVB into the future with sporting success, economic stability, and a firm foundation in its values,\u201d says Carsten Cramer.<\/p>\nCarsten Cramer has been with Borussia Dortmund since October 2010 and was appointed to the Executive Board effective March 1, 2018. In November 2025, he assumed the role of Spokesperson for the Executive Board. His appointment as CEO further strengthens his special role within the Executive Board. Going forward, he will coordinate the board\u2019s work even more closely, drive overall strategic development, and represent Borussia Dortmund\u2014both internally and externally\u2014together with his colleagues on the Executive Board. The individual members\u2019 professional responsibilities for their respective business areas remain unaffected.<\/p>\nLars Ricken has been responsible for the Sports division as a member of the Executive Board since May 2024. Prior to that, he headed BVB\u2019s youth academy and developed it into one of Germany\u2019s most successful talent development programs. As a member of the BVB Board of Management, Ricken is committed to consistently advancing Borussia Dortmund\u2019s sports strategy, strengthening the transition of the club\u2019s own young talents to the professional ranks, and firmly establishing BVB among the national and international elite.<\/p>\nThomas Treß has been a member of the executive board since 2006 and is responsible for finance, organization, legal affairs, and investor relations. Before joining BVB, Treß, who holds a degree in business administration, worked in auditing, most recently as a partner at RölfsPartner. With his many years of experience and financial expertise, Treß is tasked with ensuring BVB\u2019s financial stability, further developing reliable structures, and thereby laying the foundation for a successful future both on the field and in business.<\/p>\nWith these personnel decisions, Borussia Dortmund is combining long-term continuity with a clearly defined path for the further development of its leadership structure. The executive board will continue to carry out its duties collectively, closely integrating the diverse areas of expertise within the management team.<\/p>\n","title":"Text","multiValue":false,"value":"The Executive Committee of the Advisory Board of Borussia Dortmund Geschäftsführungs-GmbH has extended the employment contracts of Carsten Cramer, Lars Ricken, and Thomas Treß.

He then intends to step down from the Executive Board and shift his professional focus to serving on supervisory and oversight boards of other companies, as well as to independent consulting work. Thomas Treß will continue to be available to Borussia Dortmund in an advisory capacity as needed. The employment contract of Svenja Schlenker, who was appointed managing director in November 2025, remains unchanged and runs through 31 December, 2028.<\/p>\n<h2>Strong Confidence in the Executive Board<\/b><\/h2>\nWith these long-term contract extensions, Borussia Dortmund is expressly committing to its current management team. These decisions stand for continuity and stability and ensure BVB\u2019s long-term success in both sports and business.<\/p>\nBVB President Hans-Joachim Watzke states: \u201cI have great confidence in Carsten Cramer and the entire BVB Board of Management. They possess the experience, expertise, and understanding of our club\u2019s unique identity needed to successfully lead Borussia Dortmund into the future. With the new corporate strategy and the restructuring process that has been initiated, important projects have been set in motion that are intended to position BVB for the future in terms of sports, business, structure, and culture. I am convinced that Borussia Dortmund is in very good hands with this management team.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>From Spokesperson to CEO<\/b><\/h2>\n\u201cI would like to thank the Executive Committee for their great trust and am very much looking forward to the tasks ahead of us. Together with the entire team, I want to position Borussia Dortmund for the future and continue to develop it with a clear vision. Our goal is to lead BVB into the future with sporting success, economic stability, and a firm foundation in its values,\u201d says Carsten Cramer.<\/p>\nCarsten Cramer has been with Borussia Dortmund since October 2010 and was appointed to the Executive Board effective March 1, 2018. In November 2025, he assumed the role of Spokesperson for the Executive Board. His appointment as CEO further strengthens his special role within the Executive Board. Going forward, he will coordinate the board\u2019s work even more closely, drive overall strategic development, and represent Borussia Dortmund\u2014both internally and externally\u2014together with his colleagues on the Executive Board. The individual members\u2019 professional responsibilities for their respective business areas remain unaffected.<\/p>\nLars Ricken has been responsible for the Sports division as a member of the Executive Board since May 2024. Prior to that, he headed BVB\u2019s youth academy and developed it into one of Germany\u2019s most successful talent development programs. As a member of the BVB Board of Management, Ricken is committed to consistently advancing Borussia Dortmund\u2019s sports strategy, strengthening the transition of the club\u2019s own young talents to the professional ranks, and firmly establishing BVB among the national and international elite.<\/p>\nThomas Treß has been a member of the executive board since 2006 and is responsible for finance, organization, legal affairs, and investor relations. Before joining BVB, Treß, who holds a degree in business administration, worked in auditing, most recently as a partner at RölfsPartner. With his many years of experience and financial expertise, Treß is tasked with ensuring BVB\u2019s financial stability, further developing reliable structures, and thereby laying the foundation for a successful future both on the field and in business.<\/p>\nWith these personnel decisions, Borussia Dortmund is combining long-term continuity with a clearly defined path for the further development of its leadership structure. The executive board will continue to carry out its duties collectively, closely integrating the diverse areas of expertise within the management team.<\/p>\n","exportedType":"text/html"},"id":"editable-3304a94386","prio":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"prio","title":"Prio (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"headline":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"headline","title":"Headline","multiValue":false,"value":"Cramer, Ricken, and Treß Extend Their Contracts Early","exportedType":"text/plain"},"author":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"author","title":"Author","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"teaserType":"relatedContent","match":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"content-fragment","name":"match","title":"Related Match","multiValue":true,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"externalId":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"externalId","title":"External ID (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":"-580338726","exportedType":"text/plain"},"displayOnHome":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"displayOnHome","title":"Display in News Wall on Homepage","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"url":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"url","title":"Vanity URL (LEAVE EMPTY FOR AUTOMATIC VANITY URL.
