International Talents from BVB Partner Academies Visit Dortmund

More than 20 young players in the U15 and U16 age groups from South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Australia, Ghana, Poland, the U.S., and Mexico gathered at the BVB Evonik Soccer Academy as part of the “Global School of Excellence.” Their shared passion for soccer and Borussia Dortmund brought them to the heart of the Black and Yellow world in Dortmund. Over the course of several days, the young lads trained together, learned a lot of new things, and took another important step in their personal development.

All of the young talents were scouted and selected from BVB partner academies around the world. More than half of them currently play for a youth national team or are being developed through their country’s national association program.

The program offered intensive athletic experiences: In addition to performance assessments conducted according to the standards of the BVB Youth Academy, the schedule included training sessions at the BVB Evonik Soccer Academy and the Youth Academy, team and individual analyses, a visit to the Footbonauten, and practice matches against BVB’s U15 and older teams. Other highlights included a group visit to the Bundesliga match against Werder Bremen, stadium and BORUSSEUM tours, and a visit to the German Soccer Museum. Carsten Cramer, Chairman of the BVB Board of Management, also visited the group during their stay.

The goal of the “Global School of Excellence” is to bring together talented players from BVB’s international partnerships. They are encouraged to learn from one another, become familiar with different training systems, and develop both athletically and personally.

Borussia Dortmund is thus creating a platform for international talent development and bringing BVB’s partner academies around the world to life.

Levin Vogt, Justin Hoy, and Ahmad Najdi retained their spots. Young pro Kaua Prates made his debut in the UEFA Youth League. Luca Reggiani and Enzo dos Santos, along with U23 players Aaron Held and Fadi Zarqelain, bolstered the young BVB team. <\/p>\n<h2>Match Summary<\/b><\/h2>\nFrom the opening whistle, the match unfolded as a highly entertaining, fast-paced, and intense contest. Borussia immediately took the initiative and celebrated a 1-0 lead after five minutes thanks to Justin Hoy, who calmly finished off a pass from Levin Vogt. The Black and Yellows put pressure on their opponents with high pressing, forcing them into mistakes and coming very close to a second goal. Bjarki Gardarsson fired the ball just wide of the left post (8th minute), and Betis goalkeeper Yan Zhuravskyi saved a shot from the agile Hoy (11th minute). <\/p>\nSevilla\u2019s equalizer, coming less than 60 seconds later, seemed to come out of nowhere. BVB\u2019s defense was sloppy, allowing a cross from Mario Navarro on the left side of the defense and losing sight of Spain\u2019s U19 national team player Ruben De Sa, who slotted the ball into the net to make it 1\u20131. Dortmund\u2019s response came quickly: First, Hoy hit the crossbar with a 16-meter shot, then Bjarki Gardarsson scored the well-deserved 2\u20131 goal off an assist from Hoy. This was preceded by energetic and successful counter-pressing in midfield.  <\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"U19-Jubel-Betis-1793811459503\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/11/04/spielbericht-u19/U19-Jubel-Betis.jpg\"><\/p>\nThe wild ride continued. After an unfortunate collision between Kaua Prates and Fadi Zarqelain, Navarro went down in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty kick without hesitation. But goalkeeper Aaron Held saved the penalty kick taken by Ricardo Funez (27th minute). Sevilla had the upper hand during this phase, forcing the Borussians onto the defensive and, as a result, equalizing 2\u20132 in the 36th minute through Fran Batan.<\/p>\nThe second half was less eventful. BVB ceded possession and control of the game to the visitors. Despite their apparent superiority, Betis struggled to create chances because the Black and Yellows defended attentively. The best opportunity fell to substitute Kingsley Gonzales, who hit the crossbar after a solo run (72'). In the closing stages, Aaron Held saved the point. Dortmund\u2019s outstanding goalkeeper made brilliant saves against Gonzales (76th minute) and De Sa (85th minute). The Borussians were unable to turn the game in their favor or create any real threats in the second half.<\/p>\n<h2>Post-match comments<\/b><\/h2>\nCoach Felix Hirschnagl:<\/b> \u201cThat was a hard-earned point that we\u2019re happy to take. I really liked a lot of what we did in the first half, but unfortunately we let our advantages slip away too quickly. We could have pulled ahead to 2\u20130 early on. In terms of our play, the second half wasn\u2019t quite what we had in mind. We definitely want to step it up there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Outlook<\/b><\/h2>\nAction continues Saturday in Group H of the DFB Youth League preliminary round. BVB, still undefeated and leading the standings, hosts VfL Osnabrück (1:00 p.m.). The next opponent in the UEFA Youth League is Arsenal FC (Nov. 24, 2:00 p.m.).<\/p>\nU19:<\/b> Held \u2013 Vogt (88.

Mohamadou), Zarqelain \n(wiwi)<\/i><\/p>\n","title":"Text","multiValue":false,"value":"<h2>Lineup<\/b> \n<\/h2>\nCoach Felix Hirschnagl fielded a starting lineup with eight changes from the 2-1 win against MSV Duisburg. Levin Vogt, Justin Hoy, and Ahmad Najdi retained their spots. Young pro Kaua Prates made his debut in the UEFA Youth League. Luca Reggiani and Enzo dos Santos, along with U23 players Aaron Held and Fadi Zarqelain, bolstered the young BVB team. <\/p>\n<h2>Match Summary<\/b><\/h2>\nFrom the opening whistle, the match unfolded as a highly entertaining, fast-paced, and intense contest. Borussia immediately took the initiative and celebrated a 1-0 lead after five minutes thanks to Justin Hoy, who calmly finished off a pass from Levin Vogt. The Black and Yellows put pressure on their opponents with high pressing, forcing them into mistakes and coming very close to a second goal. Bjarki Gardarsson fired the ball just wide of the left post (8th minute), and Betis goalkeeper Yan Zhuravskyi saved a shot from the agile Hoy (11th minute). <\/p>\nSevilla\u2019s equalizer, coming less than 60 seconds later, seemed to come out of nowhere. BVB\u2019s defense was sloppy, allowing a cross from Mario Navarro on the left side of the defense and losing sight of Spain\u2019s U19 national team player Ruben De Sa, who slotted the ball into the net to make it 1\u20131. Dortmund\u2019s response came quickly: First, Hoy hit the crossbar with a 16-meter shot, then Bjarki Gardarsson scored the well-deserved 2\u20131 goal off an assist from Hoy. This was preceded by energetic and successful counter-pressing in midfield.  <\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"U19-Jubel-Betis-1793811459503\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/11/04/spielbericht-u19/U19-Jubel-Betis.jpg\"><\/p>\nThe wild ride continued. After an unfortunate collision between Kaua Prates and Fadi Zarqelain, Navarro went down in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty kick without hesitation. But goalkeeper Aaron Held saved the penalty kick taken by Ricardo Funez (27th minute). Sevilla had the upper hand during this phase, forcing the Borussians onto the defensive and, as a result, equalizing 2\u20132 in the 36th minute through Fran Batan.<\/p>\nThe second half was less eventful. BVB ceded possession and control of the game to the visitors. Despite their apparent superiority, Betis struggled to create chances because the Black and Yellows defended attentively. The best opportunity fell to substitute Kingsley Gonzales, who hit the crossbar after a solo run (72'). In the closing stages, Aaron Held saved the point. Dortmund\u2019s outstanding goalkeeper made brilliant saves against Gonzales (76th minute) and De Sa (85th minute). The Borussians were unable to turn the game in their favor or create any real threats in the second half.<\/p>\n<h2>Post-match comments<\/b><\/h2>\nCoach Felix Hirschnagl:<\/b> \u201cThat was a hard-earned point that we\u2019re happy to take. I really liked a lot of what we did in the first half, but unfortunately we let our advantages slip away too quickly. We could have pulled ahead to 2\u20130 early on. In terms of our play, the second half wasn\u2019t quite what we had in mind. We definitely want to step it up there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Outlook<\/b><\/h2>\nAction continues Saturday in Group H of the DFB Youth League preliminary round. BVB, still undefeated and leading the standings, hosts VfL Osnabrück (1:00 p.m.). The next opponent in the UEFA Youth League is Arsenal FC (Nov. 24, 2:00 p.m.).<\/p>\nU19:<\/b> Held \u2013 Vogt (88.
