BVBLA – UCL Final – 2024

Dear Los Angeles Black and Yellow friends,

We are reaching out in advance of the Champions League Final Watch Party, June 1st 12pm at Wirtshaus. This is the biggest game of the year. This is a huge moment for our club, both BVB and for our fan club. We are so excited for you to be a part of this experience. Please note the following. 

First, arrive early.  Wirtshaus will open at 11am but get there early. Wirtshaus will be at capacity.  Your RSVP may not guarantee you a spot. Wirtshaus will not be tracking names. We are using RSVPs to make sure Wirtshaus is properly staffed, which they will be.  We repeat, get there early. 

Second, wear yellow. We want everyone in yellow for the final. Cover Wirtshaus wall to wall with yellow.

Third, be kind. Wirtshaus will be fully staffed but it will be busy. The servers and bartenders are lovely people working as hard as they can. Please show them kindness and respect.  The same holds for fellow BVB supporters and perhaps the random Real Madrid fan.  We all love the game and we all come from different backgrounds and perspectives. Everyone deserves to be there and enjoy the game.

We noticed a few questions on the RSVPs so we will try to answer them in the bullet points below:

  • This is a child and family friendly event. Please bring the little ones.
  • All our welcome. We do not care if you have been to one watch party or none, if you support our Black and Yellow, you are friends and family.
  • At this time the RSVP is closed, we cannot edit the RSVP list. It is not possible at add or delete at this time. Rather, we encourage you to please show up early.

Finally, just to repeat: 

  1. Arrive Early, well before 11AM;
  2. Wear Yellow
  3. Be kind

We are thrilled to share this experience with you. Auf gehts BVB!  Let’s go BVB! 

Yours truly,

BVB Los Angeles Fan Club

BVBLA – October 2023

Bundesliga – Update: Different numbers, but the same positions. Bayern and Dortmund off to a so-so (by their standards) start, while everyone wonders if Leverkusen and Stuttgart can keep it up. Bayern Match and Newcastle away are included below. Plan now to be at LA Draught on Saturday, 4 November, at 10:30am.


Champions League – It will be all about Newcastle, and hopefully we can peak at the right time. Winning the home leg seems like a must at this point.

Pokal – It will be Hoffenheim at home on Halloween. At least something we know we can handle, and things have shifted for Hoffenheim since our last meeting.

BVBLA – September 2023

Update – Champion’s League

OK, kind of a tough group. Not because the other teams are particularly good, but because all of the teams are so tightly grouped in quality.

Amazing to see how low PSG has fallen, and, of course, they always suck in UCL. Newcastle are up there based on last seasons results, but they are probably not that good. AC Milan is probably fairly ranked, but Dortmund…well…we all seen their recent form. So here’s September:

01.09 Fri Dortmund vs FC Heidenheim – 11:30am, ESPN+ 2-2

16.09 Sat Freiburg vs Dortmund – 6:30am, ESPN+

19.09 Tue Paris SG vs Dortmund – 12:00pm, Paramount +

23.09 Sat – Dortmund vs VfL Wolfsburg – 6:30am, ESPN+

29.09 Fri Hoffenheim vs Dortmund – 11:30am, ESPN+

BVBLA August 2023

The start of the season almost seems anticlimactic after San Diego and Las Vegas. Some of us were hosting Dortmund in Southern California for the second time, but many more had their first experience of Dortmund in the USA.

But On To Bundesliga

19.08 Sat Dortmund vs FC Köln – 9:30am, ESPN+ and LA Draught in Santa Monica.

Topspiel first week at home is the perfect situation. First team is healthy, except…Adeyemi is doubtful. Köln is (believe it or not) having more injury problems than us, including obvious starters like Ljubicic and Hübers. This should be good.

26.08 Sat VfL Bochum vs Dortmund – 6:30am, ESPN+

This is as close as we get to a Derby nowadays, so I guess we make the most of it.

31.08 2023/24- 9am – Champions League group stage draw – Details Here

You’ll all want to see who we get. There are some weaklings in Pot 1 that could really help us out.
