Important information about tickets for the friendly matches at the Allianz Arena: According to the Bavarian Infection Control Order, up to 1,500 spectators are currently allowed at football matches - the 2020 European Championship matches in Munich were exempt from this regulation as a pilot project. At the moment, the extent of the pandemic situation at the end of July cannot be known. If you would like a ticket, you can submit an inquiry to the webshop (https://tickets.fcbayern.com/internetverkaufanfragen/start.aspx). The club will inform all interested parties by e-mail as soon as reliable information about spectator capacity and event regulations is available.
The two Audi Football Summits are being arranged by Match IQ. The games against Köln in Villingen and against Gladbach for Telekom are arranged by Onside Sports.
