Felix Nmecha

Felix Nmecha of Borussia Dortmund was born in Hamburg, Germany on 10 October 2000 (age 26).

Felix Nmecha, born on 10 October 2000 (age 26), is a Germany international midfielder whose senior career has been shaped above all by Borussia Dortmund. A central midfielder wearing the number eight shirt, he is valued at around £17m by Transfermarkt.

Most of the substance in his club career has come at Dortmund. Across four Bundesliga seasons, he has made 83 league appearances and scored nine goals, with his most productive league campaign coming in 2024–25, when he scored four times in 26 appearances. That is not a gaudy return, but it is a solid body of work for a midfielder asked to contribute across the pitch.

He has remained involved in 2026–27, making eight Bundesliga appearances and scoring twice. A DFL-Supercup appearance and four Champions League outings take him to 13 Dortmund appearances in all competitions for the season, with two goals. Internationally, he has also continued to feature for Germany, including four World Cup appearances with one goal, two World Cup qualifying appearances and two Nations League appearances with another goal.

Nmecha is an established Dortmund midfielder with ongoing Germany involvement, still part of the first-team picture in 2026–27 and still adding goals from central areas.

Felix Nmecha is 26 and plays as a centre midfield for Borussia Dortmund. In the 2026-27 season he has made eight Bundesliga appearances (seven starts and one as a substitute) and scored two goals; he has also scored in the World Cup, the Nations League and the Club World Cup. Those numbers suggest Dortmund are deploying him as a starting central option who contributes directly to goals – a goal-active presence from midfield rather than a purely holding role.
