Roman Weidenfeller (born 6 August 1980) is a German former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Bundesliga clubs 1. FC Kaiserslautern and Borussia Dortmund, as well as the Germany national team.
Weidenfeller spent 16 seasons with Dortmund and managed to win both the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal twice.
He 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 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.
In 2005, Weidenfeller underwent surgery following a meniscus tear in his left knee during training.
Early in the 2007–08 season, Weidenfeller was given a three match ban and fined €10,000 for racist insults leveled against Schalke 04 striker Gerald Asamoah.
Asamoah originally reported Weidenfeller after a match on 18 August 2007 between the two clubs, where the incident occurred after a clash between the two in the 51st minute.
Weidenfeller offered an apology to Asamoah following the news reports but denied making the statement.

He then appeared for the game against Cameroon, where the game ended tied at 2–2.
He made his third appearance in the next game against Armenia where Germany won 6–1.
Both games were international friendlies.
In 2014, he won the FIFA World Cup with Germany.
During his youth years, Weidenfeller played for Sportfreunde Eisbachtal.
However, with manager Jürgen Klopp leaving at the end of the 2014–15 season, the replacement manager Thomas Tuchel chose new signing Roman Bürki as his first choice goalkeeper as Dortmund began the season in excellent form, winning their first eleven games under Tuchel.
Weidenfeller continued to play in the club's European matches.
He was nominated as a reserve keeper behind Manuel Neuer for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, where the German team won the title a fourth time, but Weidenfeller wasn't used in any match.
