Roman Weidenfeller (German pronunciation: ; born 6 August 1980) is a former German footballer who played as goalkeeper for Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund and the German national team.
He won the 2014 FIFA World Cup with Germany.
During his youth years, he played for Sportfreunde Eisbachtal. Weidenfeller then made his professional debut in 1997, after his performances at the 1997 FIFA U-17 World Championship.
In 1998, Weidenfeller transferred to the 1. FC Kaiserslautern youth team and later was used in the second team. For the 2000/01 Bundesliga season he was promoted to the first team but made only six league appearances in two years.
Weidenfeller moved to Borussia Dortmund in 2002 on a free transfer as a possible replacement for Jens Lehmann, who had moved to Arsenal in 2003. Weidenfeller had reportedly been unhappy at Kaiserslautern, where he was used mainly as a backup to Georg Koch. His debut for Dortmund came on 17 December 2003 against his former club, Kaiserslautern, in a 1–0 loss.
