The squad for the Audi Summer Tour 2026

Jeju and Hong Kong, here we come! FC Bayern set off on Saturday for the 2026 Audi Summer Tour. The men from Munich will be on the South Korean island of Jeju until Wednesday 5 August, before transferring to Hong Kong, where they will remain until Saturday 8 August. A total of 26 players are in the German record champions’ squad for the trip, including Luis Díaz, Konrad Laimer and Josip Stanišić, who began their pre-season preparations on Saturday.

The squad does not include Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, Lennart Karl and Bryan Zaragoza, who are working on individual fitness programmes. Dayot Upamecano, Harry Kane, Michael Olise and new signing Ismael Saibari have also not travelled to Asia and will join the team after the Audi Summer Tour.

Seven youth talents in the squad

A total of seven young hopefuls are taking part in the Audi Summer Tour. We introduce these talented youngsters in more detail.

Tim Binder, who moved to Campus from FC Augsburg in 2019, boasts a respectable record of eight goal involvements in 20 games in two seasons in the Regionalliga to date, although he was recently hampered by an injury. Now Binder is back on the pitch and immediately caught the eye in the friendles against Wiesbaden and Rottach-Egern. The 19-year-old wide player impressed with his pace, dribbling ability and attacking purpose. Against Wiesbaden, the lively winger could only be stopped with a foul in the box on a solo run in the 57th minute, with Tom Bischof converting the resulting penalty.

At just 17 years, four months and 24 days, Maycon Cardozo has already made history. When he replaced Konrad Laimer in the 60th minute of the Matchday 25 encounter against Borussia Mönchengladbach last season, he not only became a Bundesliga debutant but also the first player from the FC Bayern World Squad to play for the first team. He made a second appearance in the Bundesliga against Union Berlin on Matchday 27. The native Brazilian, who’s officially been an FC Bayern player since January 2025, has mainly played for the German record champions’ U19 and U17 teams so far, registering five goals and five assists in 20 games. Cardozo has also featured for the FCB reserves recently and already netted two goals in five Regionalliga Bayern matches. He netted a brace in the Rottach-Egern friendly.

At 19, Guido Della Rovere is already a regular for the FC Bayern reserves. As a classic number 10, the Italian has particularly impressed as a provider in his 46 Regionalliga appearances to date (16 assists), as well as scoring five goals himself. Della Rovere had already featured once in the Italian second tier for his former club US Cremonese before joining Bayern in July 2024. Della Rovere made his first-team debut for the Reds in the friendly at Wiesbaden on Saturday and even led the side out as captain. He also featured against Rottach-Egern as a sub.

Vincent Manuba made the move from his hometown club SV Planegg-Krailing to the FC Bayern youth section in 2016. Since then he’s represented every youth team. Manuba is about to go into his fourth Regionalliga season under new reserves boss Dante, making him one of the most experienced players in the team at just 21. The full-back was previously called up for the Tegernsee training camp by Vincent Kompany two years ago.

A local boy making his debut for FC Bayern in the Champions League – this dream has already come true for Filip Pavić. The 16-year-old defender came on in the round of 16 second leg against Atalanta in March. After more minutes in the friendlies against Wiesbaden and Rottach-Egern, the Freising native now gets to take part in the Audi Summer Tour.

Bastian Assomo has been banging in the goals for FC Bayern for the past year. The Berliner, who spent time in the academy at Hertha, boasts an impressive goalscoring record despite an injury lay-off in the spring: Assomo netted 11 times in 10 matches for the German record champions’ U17s last term as well as opening his account in the Regionalliga. The friendly against Wiesbaden was also a maiden first-team outing for the striker, who then netted a brace against Rottach-Egern.

Another Germany U16 international in the Bayern youth ranks is David Podar-Stiube. The 16-year-old moved to Campus from FT Freiham in 2022 and has kept goal in the DFB U17 youth league in 24 games to date. Podar-Stiube pulled on the first-team goalkeeper’s shirt for the first time in the matches against Wiesbaden und Rottach-Egern.
