Patrick Owomoyela (born 5 November 1979) is a German footballer who plays for Fußball-Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund, having previously played for Lüneburger SK, VfL Osnabrück, SC Paderborn 07, Arminia Bielefeld and SV Werder Bremen. He has been capped by Germany at international level and was a member of the squad at the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup.

Club career
Owomoyela, a right-sided defender/midfielder, began his career in lower league German football. In 2003, he made the step up to Arminia Bielefeld, then in the 2. Fußball-Bundesliga.

Great performances for Bielefeld in the 2004–05 season earned Owomoyela interest from German top clubs, and in 2005, he joined SV Werder Bremen. In his first season, Owomoyela was the undisputed starter at right back and helped Bremen reach second in the league. With the arrival of Clemens Fritz the following season, however, he lost his starting position due to injuries and bad displays. Owomoyela was finally transferred to Borussia Dortmund at the beginning of the 2008–09 season, where he looks to reestablish himself in German top-flight football.

International career
Owomoyela debuted for Jürgen Klinsmann's national side in an Asian tour, playing 90 minutes in a 3–0 win over Japan, on 16 December 2004, in Yokohama. He also appeared against South Korea and Thailand, but was finally overlooked for Germany's World Cup final squad. Owomoyela has not been called up since.

Personal
In addition to his football skills, Owomoyela is also a basketball player, having played in the German regional league before switching to football full time. He also has provided commentary for German-language telecasts of NBA games. He was born to a German mother and a Nigerian father.
