Annyeonghaseyo from South Korea! Over 30 degrees and bright sunshine saw FC Bayern off from Munich on Wednesday afternoon – and 32 degrees also welcomed the Bayern delegation to Seoul over 11 hours later. At 11:30 local time, Manuel Neuer, Jamal Musiala and Co stepped off the aircraft in the South Korean capital and were greeted by hundreds of fans on arrival. In return, Thomas Müller, Aleksandar Pavlović and his colleagues introduced themselves to the frenzied supporters with a "Servus, Korea" banner. Now the German record champions' Audi Summer Tour 2024 can begin!
Thomas Müller and Jamal Musiala had a message to the fans from the plane:
Packed programme on arrival day
Despite the seven-hour time difference to Germany, the Munich men will hit the ground running on Thursday. After checking in at the team hotel, the players have a number of engagements – which we'll of course report on daily on fcbayern.com, in the FC Bayern app and on our social media channels – as well as the first training session of the Tour at 17:00 local time (10:00 CEST).
The Bayern players introduced themselves appropriately on arrival in Seoul.
Then on Friday, we're showing the final training session before the Coupang Play Series clash against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday LIVE and for free across our channels.
