The Black & Yellow Support Indonesia
Published December 5, 2022
Borussia Dortmund has completed its 2022 Asia Tour. Touching down in Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam, the Black & Yellows played against the Lion City Sailors in Singapore, the Johor Southern Tigers in Malaysia, and the Vietnam national team in Hanoi between November 24 and 30. The team also engaged with local fan communities through various events and meet-and-greets, giving their Asian fans the chance to meet their favorite players and see them up close. By bidding on the shirts of their favorite players, fans will also support the families and communities affected by the Indonesian stadium disaster that occurred on October 1, 2022.
The squad selected to travel on the Asia Tour was made up of various first-team players, as well as some players from Borussia Dortmund’s under-23 and under-19 squads. A few of the marquee names currently up for bids include attacker Donyell Malen, midfielder Emre Can, and Borussia Dortmund veteran and captain Mats Hummels.
The third and final game of the tour will soon be made available, so keep your eyes peeled not only for the names of all the players on the touring team, but also for the shirt of Borussia Dortmund legend Marco Reus, which will be making a surprise appearance. Fans were absolutely ecstatic to hear that club hero Reus traveled with the team despite currently being injured, so of course they deserve the chance to secure a shirt signed by him too.
The shirts worn in the game are special collector's items and unique pieces of history, not only because they are limited-edition cup shirts, but also thanks to the presence of the Bundesliga logo and sponsor ROWE.
The proceeds from the auctions will go to the ASA Foundation, a Sport for Development nonprofit organization that aims to achieve sustainable behavior change directly through schools and community-based projects. Their social intervention programs support gender equality, diversity, and inclusion, promote human rights, peace, and tolerance, and provide livelihood opportunities. Through the ASA Foundation, the funds raised from the Asia Tour shirt auction will support the families and communities of those affected by the Indonesian stadium disaster that occurred on October 1, 2022, and that claimed 135 lives.
