Former Borussia Dortmund and Germany goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller has revealed his fondness for Ghanaian cuisine, particularly Fufu.
The ex-Bundesliga star, who enjoyed a successful career at both club and international level, made the revelation during an interview with Ghanaian journalist Fentuo Tahiru.
Despite spending his entire playing career in Germany and adhering to strict nutritional routines, Weidenfeller confessed that Fufu remains his favourite dish.
“I love Fufu. My good friend always brings Fufu to my house, and we eat it,” he said.
Weidenfeller was part of the Dortmund Legends team that toured Ghana in June 2022. The team played against the African Giants, captained by Abedi Pele, at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The 44-year-old made 453 Bundesliga appearances for Dortmund and won back-to-back league titles in 2011 and 2012. He also lifted two DFB-Pokal trophies and was part of Germany’s 2014 World Cup-winning squad.
However, he missed out on the UEFA Champions League title after losing the 2013 final to Bayern Munich.
