Just days after concluding their last season, Bayern Munich has outlined an exciting plan for their upcoming summer preparations. Coach Vincent Kompany is set to convene his squad for their initial training session on July 20, coinciding with the day after the World Cup final.

Following five days of rigorous training, Bayern will face Wehen Wiesbaden in a friendly match, revisiting their first Pokal rivals from the previous season. The team will then head to Tegernsee for their traditional training camp from July 27 to July 30, culminating in another friendly against local team Rottach Egern.

As August approaches, Bayern will embark on a summer tour across Asia, starting with a friendly against K League side Jeju SK on August 4 in Jeju Island, South Korea. Just three days later, they are scheduled to take on Aston Villa in Hong Kong. This tour will take place from August 1 to August 8.

On August 15, Bayern will host RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena for the Telekom Cup, marking their final preseason match before the official season opener on the 22nd, when they face Dortmund in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup. Player participation will be contingent on their respective performances in the World Cup, with hopes high for seeing some stars at Jeju International Airport on August 1.
