Eight-time German champs Borussia Dortmund (BVB) will open their first international representative office in Singapore on Oct. 15, to meet the growing interest in the club across Asia.
The BVB office will be headed by 41-year-old Suresh Letchmanan, who's said to have spent 10 years in the Asian sports industry and is fluent in four languages.
Mr. Letchmanan was apparently very impressed by the German's football, having recently experienced the Supercup match against FC Bayern Munich. "Even at first glance, the BVB family is overwhelming. I’m proud to have been entrusted with the task of winning more and more people for BVB and I will never forget the roots of the club," he said in a statement on the BVB website.
Chairman of BVB Hans-Joachim Watzke has expressed his high hopes for the club's first foreign representative office ever: "We see a lot of growth potential for BVB in international markets. The local office, which will be headed by someone who knows the ins and outs of Southeast Asia and has numerous contacts, will make it easier for us to establish the Borussia Dortmund brand more strongly and above all on a sustainable basis."
