Heidenheim Agrees to Host Bayern Munich in Pre-Season Friendly on August 18
German media Bild reports that Bayern Munich has finalized plans for an additional pre-season friendly against Heidenheim on August 18 at Heidenheim's Voith Arena. The match, scheduled for the evening, is intended to give Bayern's star players—including Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Dayot Upamecano, and new signing Ismael Saibari—extra playing time before the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup against Borussia Dortmund on August 22. These players missed Bayern's Asia tour (August 1-8) and four friendlies due to post-World Cup holidays, leaving them with only the Telekom Cup match against RB Leipzig on August 15. Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund contacted Heidenheim club director Holger Sanwald, who agreed to host the 'double winners.' Heidenheim will have already played two 2. Bundesliga rounds, putting them in peak competitive form. The match serves as Bayern's sixth pre-season friendly under coach Vincent Kompany.
