Allianz and Bayern Munich started the initiative of raising awareness of breast cancer prevention in 2023 and have continued it in 2024 and 2025. This initiative sees the Allianz Arena lit up in pink for the match and the players wearing a special kit to raise awareness for International Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Given that International Breast Cancer Awareness Month is October, it is nearing time for the 2026 edition of this initiative.
Bild reports (as captured by @iMiaSanMia) that the Bavarians
will stay true to form and continue their tradition in a Bundesliga clash against Borussia Dortmund:
For the game against Borussia Dortmund (31 October), Bayern’s home shirt will feature a special sleeve patch, with the Allianz logo adorned with a pink ribbon – the international symbol of the fight against breast cancer. Bayern are taking part in Breast Cancer Awareness Month for the fourth consecutive year this October, once again raising awareness of breast cancer screening and prevention. The Allianz Arena will also be illuminated in pink.
Bayern Munich also released formal information on the event (as captured by @iMiaSanMia):
FC Bayern will once again put a special focus on its joint commitment to the fight against breast cancer when they host Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. Together with partner Allianz, the club will serve as the matchday presenter to mark the conclusion of “Pink October” under the motto “Together. Strong. Against Breast Cancer.”
Before kick-off, women affected by breast cancer, along with a man battling the disease, will walk onto the pitch alongside the FC Bayern players. A special logo on the sleeves of the FCB shirts will also help raise awareness of the cause. To round off the initiative, the Allianz Arena will once again be illuminated in pink.
