A date for the diary of all Bayern fans: on 15th July 2017 FC Bayern will be taking part in the Telekom Cup at Mönchengladbach’s BORUSSIA-PARK. The German record champions will be joined by hosts Borussia Mönchengladbach, Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen for the ninth edition of the traditional pre-season tournament.
