Are You Ready to Represent?
The badge on your chest means something. It means you belong to a club that believes in developing people, not just players. It means you are part of the global BVB family. And it means you have the chance to go from your home field to the heart of Germany.

Hosted in local markets, the first round of Talent Identification takes place by local and regional coaching staff.

Hosted across both the East and West Regions, Regional Talent ID Events are led by BVBIA coaching staff and are the next step in identifying top players to advance.

The National Talent ID Event brings top players identified through the East and West events. Players compete for the opportunity to travel to Germany and participate in National Team player pools.

Top players may earn the opportunity to travel to Dortmund, Germany for high-level training, international competition, and direct exposure to the culture and methodology of Borussia Dortmund.
