Thank you for your interest in the BvB London fan community podcast as every week the focus of the show will be on exploring a facet of Borussia Dortmund's life by talking to experts and former participants of the club's life.

People like players, fans and journalists who have covered the club and decision-makers and experts who know the world of all our club well.

The aim of the podcast is to make this wonderful football club more accessible to non-German speakers. The podcast may also be of interest to German football fans who want to learn or improve their English.

Bonus show with VFB Stuttgart centreforward Hamadi Al Ghaddioui. 

Hamadi came through the BVB II academy at Hohenbuschei in the Dortmund suburb of Brackel. The now 30-year-old got off to a highly promising start in season 2016-17 scoring an impressive 19 goals in 33 matches.

His career then took the 1.93m striker to SC Verl and Sportfreunde Lotte in the third tier.

In season 18-19 Hamadi joined newly promoted Jahn Regensburg in the 2. Bundesliga where he scored 11 goals in 38 matches. 

Since 2019/20 the 30-year-old, whose parents migrated to Germany from Morroco in the 1970s, has been a striker with 5-time Bundesliga champions VFB Stuttgart.

Since joining 'Die Schwaben' (The Swabians in German) as VFB are affectionately known by their fans, Al Ghaddioui has scored 8 goals in 31 matches.

The highlight of his career was scoring the 1-0 winning goal in front of 24,000 spectators against Hansa Rostock in the DFB Pokal first round in his first season in 18-19. Contents:
