Borussia Dortmund’s managing director of the Asia Pacific region, Suresh Letchmanan, joined Taruka Srivastav on an exclusive Facebook live interview and spoke about the club’s way of functioning in the future among various other things.
Letchmanan was asked about what revenue streams Borussia Dortmund was exploring in light of the COVID-19 pandemic which has changed the football landscape from an economic point of view. He mentioned E-Football as one of the areas where the club was interested in expansion, remaining cautiously optimistic.
It is now common for some of the biggest clubs to cherrypick the best FIFA players in the world to represent them at official E-Football championships. For example, ‘Tekkz’ represented Liverpool in the last edition of the E-Premier League.
However, Letchmanan said that competing in the format is something that Borussia Dortmund is still some way out from. While he did not rule out anything for the future, the suggestion was that it is a gradual process.
Borussia Dortmund has a strategic two-year partnership in place with ISL side Hyderabad FC and is planning future tours and activities with the legends team among other things.
