The Bavarians have won the mega competition two times.

The Bundesliga side Bayern Munich are all set to take on the New Zealand Regional Leagues’ Auckland City in the group stage fixture of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 edition. The interesting contest between the two teams will take place at the TQL Stadium. Both sides reside in Group C and will be looking to begin things on a positive note.

Bayern Munich won a silverware title in the 2024-25 season after their Bundesliga win, and they are now eyeing winning another title, and that too, on the global stage. The Bundesliga giants have quality in their squad. They have added Jonathan Tah to their squad, which is likely to strengthen their defence.

Tom Bischof has also joined the squad. The Bavarians are on a positive run of form and will trouble their opposition.

Players to Watch

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

Harry Kane was the top scorer for Bayern Munich in multiple competitions this season. The England international will play an important role in the attacking front for the Bavarians. Kane knows how to find spaces in the final third, and his goal-scoring abilities are well known.

He is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.

Myer Bevan (Auckland City)

Myer Bevan is going to play a crucial part in the final third for the New Zealand Regional Leagues’ side, Auckland City. They have shown some decent performances in the past; however, we expect them to struggle here. Myer Bevan will have to step up here to give his side a chance against the Bavarians.
