FC Bayern Treats Stars two weeks of vacation before a big club World Cup challenge!

Orlando, USA - FC Bayern Munich faces an exciting, but also stressful summer, as the club World Cup in the USA is imminent. The team is preparing intensively for the tournament, which will begin on June 15 with the first group game against Auckland City in Cincinnati. Previously, the departure to the USA will take place on June 10, right after the last Bundesliga game on May 15th. Coach Vincent Kompany gave the players who do not travel to their national teams two weeks after the championship celebration. The players concerned, including Thomas Müller, Manuel Neuer, Eric Dier and Sacha Boey, will return on June 5. However, some players may have to arrive later because their national teams still have games on June 10th.

The players on vacation receive individual training programs to stay fit in recreation mode, while the focus is clearly on the best possible performance at the club World Cup. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge emphasized the financial opportunities of the competition that the income could reach up to 120 million euros. This importance is also underpinned by the costly contract extensions of key players such as Jamal Musiala, Joshua Kimmich, Alphonso Davies and Manuel Neuer.

Financial incentives of the club World Cup

CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has announced the financial details about the club World Cup. FC Bayern Munich can take around $ 30 million, which corresponds to around 27.8 million euros, through the entry fee and bonuses. Additional premiums can be added if sporting successes in the tournament are achieved. The winner of the competition can expect over $ 100 million. FIFA releases a total of one billion dollars for the first club World Cup, and there is also 250 million euros in solidarity amounts for non-participating teams.

The base camp of Bavaria is opened in Orlando, and the journey to Florida is also planned for June 10th. However, it remains unclear whether all players will arrive at this point or whether some will travel later in the national team after their missions. In the preliminary round, Bayern-Elf not only meets Auckland City, but also on Boca Juniors and Benfica Lisbon, which brings additional challenges.

Dreesen emphasizes that the club World Cup is above all a sporting challenge and not a “lust trip”. National coach Julian Nagelsmann will not take into account the upcoming games of the club World Cup when selecting the national players, which also creates the situation complex for the players.

The coming weeks promise to be exciting, since Bayern are preparing for the important tournament, but at the same time they are not allowed to neglect their recovery.
