Bayern Munich Preseason Tour to South Korea and Hong Kong

Tegernsee Training Camp Beginnings

Bayern Munich is already pulling the strings of preseason preparation as the World Cup draws to a close. The club will start with its traditional short camp in Tegernsee before heading abroad. This pre‑season setup gives the players a foothold after a hectic international month.

Asia Tour Schedule and Player Restrictions

From August 1st to 8th, Bayern will conduct a week‑long tour covering South Korea and Hong Kong. However, any player whose country progressed beyond the quarter‑finals will miss the Asian leg. That means France’s Dayot Upamecano and Michael Olise, along with England’s Harry Kane will not join the tour. The decision follows a Kicker report captured on Twitter.

Holiday Plans and Return Timeline

All Bayern players receive a three‑week break following the tournament. The first international slated to return is South Korea’s Kim Min‑jae, who exited in the group stage. German internationals are expected back the following week, leaving their availability for the preseason opener against Wehen Wiesbaden on Saturday in doubt.

Injury Concerns and New Signing Status

Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies, both nursing minor ailments, are slated to make the trip despite their conditions. Meanwhile, fresh recruit Ismael Saibari is undergoing medical evaluation to determine if he can join the preseason schedule. Colombian forward Luis Díaz, eliminated in the round of 16, would theoretically be on the plane but may be rested by coach Vincent Kompany, who plans a break for the attacking trio after a demanding 2025/26 season.

What It Means for Bayern’s Preseason

The limited Asia tour reshapes Bayern’s early fixtures, with key European stars missing from the start. The quick return of Kim Min‑jae provides a glimpse of full‑strength training, while the uncertain status of German players could influence tactical decisions ahead of the Wehen Wiesbaden friendly. Monitoring injury recoveries and Saibari’s fitness will be crucial as the club gears up for the 2026/27 campaign.
