Dortmund have been one of the teams that played in the International Champions Cup during the last two summers but the club has announced that they won’t be a part of the competition this year. The ICC is played all around the world and consists of the biggest clubs in the world. Marketing director Carsten Cramer explained BVB’s absence:

“The program of the ICC was extremely reduced this year” [..] “We are in the process of implementing a different plan and it’s close to completion, so we will nonetheless have a journey with attractive games.”
