German Ambassador visits Borussia Academy

German Ambassador Dr. Norbert Riedel & Team paid a special visit to us and got to chat with our German Coaches and Players.

We spoke about our community outreach programs, our upcoming trip to Germany and while of course warmly embracing every nationality and culture, re-affirmed our ties to the German community in Singapore.

Our players also got to ask Dr. Riedel and GESS Principal Mr Pauli a few questions. Did you know that Mr Pauli is a supporter of infamous football club FC St. Pauli in Germany or that Dr. Riedel was fortunate enough to meet several players of the legendary German 1974 Worldcup team in person?

Both Dr. Riedel and Mr Pauli then joined our teams for a fast paced 5 v 5 football session and got to show off their excellent shooting skills during our penalty shoot out.

Thank you Dr. Riedel & Team and thank you Mr Pauli for being such great sports! Our players had a great time and we all agreed that team Germany will of course win the upcoming European Championship hosted by Germany this summer!

We are Borussia! #germanyinsingapore
