Jobe Bellingham Debuts in Dortmund-Fluminense Draw

Jobe Bellingham, a 19-year-old English midfielder and recent €33m signing from Sunderland, made his Borussia Dortmund debut as a substitute during their 0-0 draw with Fluminense in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Group F opener at MetLife Stadium. Entering in the 59th minute, Bellingham posted a 93% passing accuracy but was unable to break the deadlock. Dortmund manager Niko Kovac stated Bellingham did not start due to his recent arrival and the need to adapt to the team. The match was played before 34,763 fans, with the majority supporting Fluminense, who created more chances but failed to score. Both teams now have one point in Group F as they prepare for their next matches. Expectations are high for Bellingham, who follows his brother Jude's legacy at Dortmund.
