“North America, but also greater America, are very important markets for us,” said Dortmund managing director Carsten Cramer at an international media roundtable. “The logical conclusion is that we will return to the United States next summer.
“We’re excited to have plans for Southeast Asia this year and the United States next year. See the article : Intersect Aspen returns to town, engaging arts communities near and far. It won’t be the last time we go.”
The 2026 World Cup will be hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Cramer said Dortmund’s social media engagement figures showed growing interest in the North American club.
