Timo Boll is planning internship at Borussia Dortmund - is the change?

Dortmund, Deutschland - table tennis star Timo Boll, who ends his competitive sports career at the playoff final of the table tennis Bundesliga next Sunday, is considering doing an internship at Borussia Dortmund. The 44-year-old announced in the “current sports studio” of the ZDF that there are initial discussions with the German Football Club, but have not yet been made any specific agreements. Boll explained that Borussia Dortmund was his first choice for such a project.

Boll will meet his old team Borussia Düsseldorf, who has to compete in the duel for the title against the German Cup winner TTF Ochsenhausen. The table tennis professional is not only an excellent athlete, but also has an impressive career with 20 European championship titles. He is also a good friend of the basketball icon Dirk Nowitzki, which underlines his versatility and contacts in sport.

The talks with Borussia Dortmund also revolve around a possible role for Boll as an ambassador for the club in China, where the table tennis star has a big fan base. Borussia Dortmund is internationally known for his successful football team, but also has a team in the table tennis Bundesliga to address Boll.

The considerations of Boll to do an internship in a large sports club could lead him to a new, exciting phase of his life. As an active player, he was allowed to enjoy many fans and successes and could continue to live his passion for sport by switching to the field of club work.

Boll remains a central figure in German sport. The step to Borussia Dortmund could not only shape his career after the active time, but also further strengthen the connection between table tennis and football. For the coming days it remains exciting whether and how the negotiations will develop.
