A strategic partnership that supports GESS’s ambition to become Singapore’s leading school for football excellence.
In May 2025, GESS launched a strategic partnership with Borussia Dortmund (BVB), strengthening our commitment to delivering world-class football education at GESS.
Borussia Dortmund is one of Europe’s most respected football clubs, renowned not only for its achievements on the pitch but also for its world-class youth development programme.
As part of this collaboration, GESS has appointed a dedicated on-site BVB Coordinator to lead our Football Programme, ensuring that all training reflects the club’s proven development philosophy. GESS Students also get access to the BVB eAcademy (an online skill-development platform) and opportunities for international football exchanges
The GESS Wildcats Football teams consistently rank among the top performers in the ACSIS school championships, showcasing the strength of our athletic program and the dedication of our student-athletes. Our recent season highlights this tradition of excellence:
Championship Gold, Silver and Bronze: Both our Boys and Girls teams are securing medals every season. These achievements reflect the professional training through the GESS BVB Youth Development programme and our commitment to developing elite talent on and off the pitch.
The youth development partnership is already bearing fruit: the first 'Wildcats' player has traveled to Dortmund for high-performance training with the U17 team, highlighting the potential and reach of this initiative.
Together with Borussia Dortmund, we inspire the next generation of footballers, equipping them with the skills, mindset, and resilience to succeed both on and off the pitch.
The execution of the football training is conducted in collaboration with Lion City Sailors. Their Football Academy has earned a TwoStar accreditation from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) under the AFC Elite Youth Scheme, making it one of a select group of academies in Southeast Asia to achieve this standard.
