BVB and Gamefam debut 2026/27 home kit on Roblox

Borussia Dortmund today announced it will introduce its iconic club and newly-unveiled 2026/27 PUMA home kit with a limited-time event in hit Roblox game “FIFA Super Soccer”, marking the first time the kit is introduced in a game. Gamefam, a gaming and media company for Gen Z and Alpha communities, is bringing the event to life, introducing fans to Borussia Dortmund in an entirely new way.

By promoting its club and the new kit on Roblox, Borussia Dortmund ensures the club continues its efforts to engage the next generation of soccer fans on the platform where they spend the most time. Roblox now reaches 132 million daily active users (up 35% year-over-year). This activation is the start of Borussia Dortmund’s increasing presence on Roblox.

Launching Friday, May 8, 2026, the event is timely following yesterday’s unveiling of the new 2026/27 home kit and ahead of tonight’s kit debut on the real-life pitch against Eintracht Frankfurt:

Official Kits: The newly unveiled 2026/27 Borussia Dortmund PUMA kit will be available in “FIFA Super Soccer”, marking the first time the club’s newly-released kits are playable in any video game.
Play as Borussia Dortmund: Borussia Dortmund will be re-introduced as a playable team on Roblox, bringing the style and identity of the club onto the virtual pitch. They return after being a playable team in the game during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
Interactive Mascot: Mascot EMMA is a central piece of the event, leading players on their quest through “FIFA Super Soccer”.
Quest: Players will be invited to complete Borussia Dortmund-themed challenges including scoring goals, creating assists, and winning matches.
Exclusive Player Rewards: Players who complete the quest will earn a first-of-its-kind in-game reward – a lightning strike celebration; when players score a goal in “FIFA Super Soccer”, they are celebrated with a striking black-and-yellow lightning scene.

Alexander Mühl, Director Marketing & Digitalisation, said: “At Borussia Dortmund, we are always looking to authentically show up in spaces where the next generation of fans are already deeply engaged. Roblox, and ‘FIFA Super Soccer’ in particular, is one of the most relevant platforms for reaching young soccer fans today. Launching our new 2026/27 Puma kits in this environment and ultimately having a persistent presence – as we look ahead to a major year for the club – will allow us to extend the Borussia Dortmund experience far beyond the pitch.”

Ricardo Briceno, CEO of Gamefam, said: “The next generation of soccer fans doesn’t just watch the beautiful game – they play, create and connect with it in immersive worlds. Bringing Borussia Dortmund to FIFA Super Soccer on Roblox is a powerful example of how global clubs can show up where fandom starts and continues to build. By turning gameplay into digital and real-world surprises, we’re creating a seamless connection between the digital world and the real world, of which they move seamlessly between. Our partnership will bring the energy of BVB to life for millions of fans around the world in a completely new way.”

The Borussia Dortmund event in FIFA Super Soccer will begin on Friday, May 8, 2026, and run through Friday, May 15, 2026. While the event will conclude, the official Borussia Dortmund kit will remain in-game for players to use through the end of the year. Fans across the world can join the action in “FIFA Super Soccer” for free across consoles, PCs, mobile, and tablets.

Kehl waved goodbye to the South Stand, then formed his hands into the shape of a heart.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/08/abschiede/Kehl-Abschied-Herz.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Kehl-Abschied-Herz-1778267698783\"> \n<\/p>\nJulian Brandt <\/b>joined BVB in the summer of 2019 at the age of 23 and is the longest-serving player in the squad. The midfielder has worn the Black & Yellow jersey 306 times to date and scored 57 goals. With BVB, he won the DFB-Pokal and the Supercup and reached the Champions League final. (Read the story: <a href=\"https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/5/7/From-his-first-goal-to-his-last-home-game-Julian-Brandt-looks-back-on-seven-years-at-BVB.html\">From his first goal to his last home game: Julian Brandt looks back on seven years at BVB<\/a>.) \u201cOne of the most technically gifted footballers we\u2019ve had the pleasure of seeing here in recent years. His passing, his creativity, his unique style of play \u2013 that was often football at its finest here in the world\u2019s most beautiful stadium!\u201d said Nobby Dickel.<\/p>\nNiklas Süle <\/b>will not only be leaving BVB, but will also be retiring at the end of this season. <a href=\"https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/5/7/Niklas-Suele-ends-his-playing-career.html\">The centre-back announced this on Thursday<\/a>. Süle joined Dortmund in the summer of 2022 and reached the Champions League final with BVB. Unforgettable is his sliding tackle against Kylian Mbappé in the group stage against Paris Saint-Germain, when he acrobatically prevented what looked like a certain goal. Against Frankfurt, Süle played his 300th Bundesliga match, his 110th competitive game for BVB. \u201cA man who, like few others, embodies power, passion and emotion. A bloke with a huge heart and one who, despite many setbacks, has always got back on his feet! Niklas, you never gave up, always fought hard and were part of many great Black & Yellow football evenings!\u201d said Nobby Dickel about the defender.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/08/abschiede/Abschied-Suele-Brandt-Oezcan.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Abschied-Suele-Brandt-Oezcan-1778267727954\"><\/p>\nSalih Özcan has also been wearing the Borussia Dortmund shirt since 2022 \u2013 apart from a six-month loan spell at VfL Wolfsburg \u2013 and has made 96 competitive appearances in Black & Yellow. In the words of Nobby Dickel: \u201cA player who has never shied away from a tackle. A fighter. A player with the right mentality. He\u2019s covered miles, plugged gaps and always put himself at the service of the team. An honest worker who didn\u2019t say much \u2013 preferring instead to slide-tackle, fight and give it his all!\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cThank you for your commitment to Borussia Dortmund \u2013 and all the best for the future!\u201d Dickel continued, as all three made their way to the South Stand to the applause of the fans. \nChristina Reinke<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/08/abschiede/Kehl-Abschied.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Kehl-Abschied-1778267863794\"><\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/08/abschiede/Abschied-Kehl-Watzke.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Abschied-Kehl-Watzke-1778267871984\"><\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/08/abschiede/Abschied-Oezcan-Brandt-Suele.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Abschied-Oezcan-Brandt-Suele-1778267882919\"><\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/08/abschiede/Abschied-Brandt.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Abschied-Brandt-1778267893744\"><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","exportedType":"text/html"},"id":"editable-4e754267a6","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":"Final home game for Brandt, Süle and Özcan \u2013 farewell for Sebastian Kehl","exportedType":"text/plain"},"author":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"author","title":"Author","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"teaserType":"relatedContent","match":{"multiLine":true,"dataType":"content-fragment","name":"match","html":"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/matches/football/profis/2025_2026/22/2569333_33_borussiadortmund-eintrachtfrankfurt<\/p>","title":"Related Match","multiValue":false,"value":"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/matches/football/profis/2025_2026/22/2569333_33_borussiadortmund-eintrachtfrankfurt","exportedType":"text/plain"},"externalId":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"externalId","title":"External ID (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":"-54866070","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.

It was his first goal in the Bundesliga. The 18-year-old Italian had initially been stopped on the edge of the box, but his teammates kept pressing.
