Details on Bayern’s Dream Match against Red Eagles Austria fan club

Saturday, 23 August 2025 sees Bayern hold their 13th Dream Match. Fresh from opening the Bundesliga campaign against RB Leipzig the previous evening, the players will head to Imst in Tyrol to face the Red Eagles Austria fan club. It’s the first time the now traditional Dream Match will be played in Austria, showing just how close Bayern is to its fans around the world.

A unique fixture in the world

The fact that Bayern send their senior players out to play against fans is unique in the world of football. This year’s hosts are the Red Eagles Austria fan club, which was founded in 2017 and has quickly grown to a membership of 1,600 fans from around the world – from Qatar to Sweden, Greece to the USA – and led by chairman Robert Schweighofer. The squad of 25 players have been working hard to prepare for the big game. They managed a confidence-boosting 6-3 win against SC Imst recently. The Dream Match will be played at the 5,000-capacity Red Eagles Austria Arena (the Gurgltalstadion), with a wide range of activities planned for all the family.
