Veteran attacker Thomas Muller will cap off his illustrious Bayern Munich career by featuring in the FIFA Club World Cup.
Bayern Munich have officially named their 29-player squad for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. With a roster featuring experienced players, promising youngsters and two high-profile summer signings, the Bavarians appear poised to shine in the group stage.
The team will be based in Orlando, Florida, with training to be held at the Disney World sports complex. From there, Bayern will travel across three U.S. cities to contest a group featuring teams from New Zealand, Argentina, and Portugal. Kompany’s men begin their campaign on June 15 against Auckland City FC in Cincinnati, followed by clashes with Boca Juniors in Miami and Benfica in Charlotte.

After years of waiting, Harry Kane finally lifted his first major club trophy with Bayern, and he’s arriving at the Club World Cup in red-hot form. The English forward delivered a sensational debut season in Munich, scoring 37 goals across all competitions, including 26 in 31 Bundesliga appearances. He also struck 11 times in 13 UEFA Champions League matches, reaffirming his status as one of the world’s most clinical forwards. Kane’s leadership and consistency make him a cornerstone of Bayern’s attack and one of the biggest threats in the tournament.
Though injury curtailed his involvement at the end of the season, Jamal Musiala is expected to be fully fit and firing for the Club World Cup. The 22-year-old has grown into one of Europe’s most exciting young talents, known for his ability to glide past defenders with ease. This past campaign was Musiala’s most prolific yet as he registered 18 goals in all competitions.
The two headline additions to the Bayern squad are Germany internationals Jonathan Tah and Tom Bischof, who were both secured ahead of schedule thanks to a special FIFA transfer window. Bayern agreed to pay early transfer fees to Bayer Leverkusen and Hoffenheim respectively, allowing the duo to join in time for the Club World Cup.
The Bayern squad boasts world-class names like Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala and Harry Kane. At the same time, Kompany has embraced Bayern’s next generation, recalling Adam Aznou and Maurice Krattenmacher from loan spells. Bayern have also included several teenagers who could gain invaluable experience at the showpiece event. Among the younger names in the squad are Leon Klanac (18), Lennart Karl (17), David Santos Daiber (18), Cassiano Kiala (16), and Jonah Kusi-Asare (17). Notably, all these players are seen as part of Bayern’s long-term planning.
Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer, Daniel Peretz, Jonas Urbig, Leon Klanac
Defenders: Dayot Upamecano, Minjae Kim, Jonathan Tah, Raphael Guerreiro, Sacha Boey, Cassiano Kiala, Josip Stanisic, Adam Aznou
Midfielders: Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Joao Palhinha, Tom Bischof, Konrad Laimer, Jamal Musiala, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Lennart Karl, David Santos
Attackers: Serge Gnabry, Harry Kane, Leroy Sané, Kingsley Coman, Michael Olise, Thomas Müller, Maurice Krattenmacher, Jonah Kusi-Asare
As Bayern prepare to challenge for yet another piece of silverware on the global stage, all eyes will be on how coach Vincent Kompany integrates new face and balances youth with experience. It will be interesting to see how the Bundeliga champions adapt against elite international opposition. Notably, veteran attacker Thomas Muller will cap off his illustrious Bayern Munich career by featuring in the FIFA Club World Cup.
