The match will be broadcast live and exclusively around the world on FC Bayern TV PLUS (subscription information) on our website fcbayern.com and in the FC Bayern app. ‘It shouldn’t be taken for granted that Grasshopper Club Zürich agreed to play at such short notice because their season is already underway. We’re delighted to be able to play this friendly and have also discussed a possible return match in Zurich,’ said FCB sporting director Christoph Freund.
Stephan Schwarz, Grasshoppers sporting director, added: “We’re looking forward to playing a friendly against Bayern Munich. It’s a fantastic opportunity to face one of the best teams in the world and give our players the chance to test themselves on an individual level.”
The match will serve as the final tuneup for Bayern Munich ahead of its Bundesliga opener on Sunday August 25th.
