Mats Hummels Bids Farewell to Borussia Dortmund
Mats Hummels, one of Borussia Dortmund's all-time greats, is set to play his farewell match for the club on Sunday. After a decorated career spanning over a decade, Hummels departed Dortmund in the summer of 2024 to join Italian club Roma for his first time playing outside Germany.
Hummels made 508 appearances for Dortmund, winning two Bundesliga titles (2011, 2012), two DFB-Pokal cups (2012, 2021), and featuring in two Champions League finals (2013, 2024). His farewell match will be a celebration of these achievements, with the club releasing special jerseys in his honor and the Südtribune set to honour him for his contributions.
After one season with Roma, Hummels announced his retirement in April 2025. He returned to Dortmund for a farewell appearance in a friendly match against Juventus in August 2025, marking the end of his professional career.
Despite the controversy surrounding his departure from Dortmund, which was leaked to the press before a personal conversation could take place, Hummels' exit appears to have been a respected and celebratory transition. There is no record in the available data of any significant dispute or conflict surrounding his departure from the club.
Hummels' brief stint at Roma included some notable moments, such as scoring a last-minute goal in a UEFA Europa League match, but also an own goal on debut. After Sunday's match, Hummels is not considering options like Dubai, Saudi Arabia, or MLS.
The match is scheduled for Sunday at 5:30 PM and will be broadcast on Sky. Fans are invited to come to the stadium with gratitude and nostalgia, as they bid farewell to one of Borussia Dortmund's most beloved players. A special edition "Thank You Mats" jersey is available for purchase at the fan shop for 90 euros.
During his tenure at Borussia Dortmund, Mats Hummels' love for sports was evident, especially his dedication to football. His farewell match on Sunday will be a testament to his achievements in the sport, particularly his success in the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal, as well as his appearances in the Champions League.
