If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments.

Borussia Dortmund U17

B-Junioren Bundesliga West

The last game played was on October 25, 2020 (Matchday 5) before the season was canceled due to COVID-19. BVB U17 won 6-2 against SV Lippstadt 08 and were sitting in second place with 10 points (3W-1D-1L) and a goal differential of +9 (16:7).

Borussia Dortmund U19

U-19 Bundesliga West

The U19s’ season was canceled on Matchday 4 (October 24, 2020) due to the pandemic. They won their last game with a convincing 6-0 over Rot-Weiss Essen. They sat in first place with 12 points (4W-0D-0L) and a goal differential of +14 (16:2).

BVB U19 won their singular DFB Junioren Pokal match 3-0 over SV Wehen Wiesbaden at the start of October. Further rounds will not be played.

However, the UEFA Youth League will continue play. Is it a smart idea to cancel domestic leagues, but send these same youth players after months of no game action to different countries during a pandemic? No. But here we are.

They will play the first match in a Round of 64 on March 2, 2021 at Juventus Turin.
