Thanks for finding your way to my page. My name is Mark Lovell and I am a freelance Sports journalist and commentator specializing in German football content - offering live match commentary, highlights dubbing, features, previews, translations, match reports, blogs, ratings, podcasts, reaction, punditry, transcription and interviews. A fluent German speaker, I have lived and worked in Germany for almost three decades, including several years with the Royal Air Force as a linguist.

In 2024, I enjoyed providing German language content for the Atlanta Falcons after the prestigious NFL Franchise were awarded international marketing rights for Germany. Check out my portfolio of work for the Falcons here!

I also enjoy the honour of doing live English-language match commentary; highlights dubbing and translations for the record German Champions Bayern Munich, Women's team, FCB Legends and FC Bayern World Squad. Additionally, I've offered remote "off-tube" commentary for various European leagues and even provided cricket commentary in German for Eurosport.

I was also a lucky omen for eventual winners Manchester City, carrying out extensive match previews on their German opponents, RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich on their march to the Champions League crown in 2023.  

Since 2018, I've been producing weekly in-depth statistical betting previews for Who Scored on German Football Bundesliga matches. Please remember to gamble responsibly.

I hold a Player Care Qualification from the Player Care Group, the UK's first consultancy group focused on player care, team operations, and player well-being in sporting environments worldwide.

My written work has been featured in a variety of print and digital outlets, including ESPN, BBC Sport, and Deutsche Welle, Germany's international broadcaster. I'm equally comfortable in both broadcast and live TV and radio settings, making regular appearances on international platforms like CNN WorldSport, TRT World, BBC Radio, and TalkSport.

Please explore my work as the Bayern Munich correspondent for many years at US broadcaster ESPN, which includes an exclusive interview with the formidable striker, Robert Lewandowski. You can also browse my website for links to some of my work.

Your feedback is invaluable to me, whether it's positive or constructive. I'd be delighted to hear from you via Twitter / Facebook or by contacting me at mark@lovelllowdown.com with story ideas and assignments.
