FC Bayern World Squad
Meet the FC Bayern World Squad
The FC Bayern World Squad is an international project where Germany’s most successful club and its partner Audi select U19s players from across the world and accompany them as they chase their dream of becoming a professional footballer.
Former Bayern striker Roy Makaay will once again oversee the team as head coach, joined this year by Diego Contento as assistant. The team will also hold a training camp abroad as they prepare to face Bayern’s U19s in the summer.
Several players have already demonstrated what a huge platform the project offers. Daniel Francis from Nigeria was signed by FC Bayern and is currently on loan at Wacker Innsbruck. Viktor Orakpo now plays for Nice, Viktor Baier at Viktoria Plzen, and Siam Yapp at Burinam United in Thailand.
The teenagers’ entire journey from the selection process to training and the game against Bayern’s U19s in Munich will be documented live, with episodes being made available during the tour, giving fans the chance to experience the Class of '25 in real time. You'll be able to watch episodes on the club's YouTube channel, website and app.
