Bayern Munich are getting their legends together again for another special day.
The club announced (as captured by @iMiaSanMia) that they will be hosting a Legends Cup, an indoor football tournament, at the SAP
Garden in Munich. The tournament will be held on the 18th of January next year.
The tournament will feature legends teams from Real Madrid, Juventus, Celtic, and Eintracht Frankfurt. There is also a mystery team that is yet to be announced that will close out the lineup.
Bayern fans will fondly remember the Beckenbauer Cup, a similar indoor tournament held in honor of the late Franz Beckenbauer. Bayern won the tournament with wins over the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid. The upcoming Legends Cup is not a direct follow-up to the Kaiser’s event, but there will be some familiar faces returning from it – treble winners Franck Ribéry and Arjen Robben have already confirmed their participation, and World champion Philipp Lahm will be coaching the team again.4
“I’m really looking forward to being in charge of the FC Bayern Legends as coach at the Legends Cup. It’s always very special to see former team-mates and acquaintances again – it brings back lots of nice memories,” said Lahm. “The tournament brings together a lot of familiar faces from world football and offers a very special football experience. We want to delight the fans – and in the end, of course, win the trophy like we did at the Beckenbauer Cup.”
More details will be updated as soon as they are announced.
