This is not the first time that Oberliga Westfalen (5th tier) side SV Lippstadt 08, who finished 6th last season, have hosted Bayern Munich. In fact, this friendly against SV Lippstadt is a gift from Bayern Munich to chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge for his 60th birthday. SV Lippstadt 08 is Rummenigge “home club” before the former world-class striker transferred to Bayern Munich in 1974. set up his tent in Munich. At Rummenigge’s request, half of the revenues from this friendly are going towards refugee assistance across the city of SV Lippstadt and the other half to the club itself. 8,500 fans are expected to turn up and “to not lose by two digits” is Lippstadt’s goal heading into this match.

New season and new faces for Bayern Munich, with Carlo Ancelotti leading the first training session on Monday. Stars such as Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben, Philipp Lahm, Xabi Alonso and Javi Martinez were all present. Bayern Munich are, however, without all players who participated in the Euros over the summer, such as Mats Hummels (signed from Dortmund over the summer), Jerome Boateng, Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller or the 18 year old Portuguese European champion Renato Sanches (signed from Benfica over the summer).
