Non-European German Bundesliga Players (2009-2010)

This is a list of Non-European players in the German Bundesliga as of 11/13/2009. In some cases, the listed players are based on national team affiliation rather than birth nation - for example: Jermaine Jones was born in Germany, but is now affiliated with the USA national team, so he's listed as USA.

Interesting that 1.FC Köln and VfL Bochum each have at least one player from every FIFA region except Oceania.
