Vincent Kompany, the manager of Bayern Munich, is eager to present his team to a worldwide audience at the Club World Cup as the Bavarians prepare to head to the USA following a successful Bundesliga season.
In his inaugural full season, Kompany guided his side back to the summit of the Bundesliga, and now they are set to compete in the Club World Cup against Auckland City, Boca Juniors, and Benfica in Group C.
Amidst the chaotic preparations leading to the tournament, Kompany asserts that his squad is treating it with utmost seriousness as they pursue further accolades.
He stated: “As the tournament approaches, the excitement levels among the team are palpable. Bayern Munich is a club where every trophy holds significance, so by the time we arrive in America, this competition will be a priority for us.”
“Our global fanbase is something I cherish, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see support from fans travelling from Munich and Germany, blending with our international supporters. It’s bound to be a memorable experience, especially as we compete against teams from South America and other continents with their own large followings.”

With 32 teams representing diverse regions, Bayern Munich is notably aware of the various challenges ahead. They will face familiar rivals in Benfica, while the semi-professional side from Auckland and Boca Juniors will present their own unique hurdles. It’s the latter matchup that particularly excites the Belgian manager.
Kompany remarked: “It’s hard to predict outcomes, but it’s definitely a unique experience. This tournament is our first time participating, making it difficult to visualise the entire competition. However, playing a competitive match against Boca Juniors is a definite highlight.”
“It’s an incredible opportunity to witness two of the world’s finest fanbases – ours and theirs – as well as to see two historically successful clubs go head-to-head.”
“It will be a fantastic chance to showcase our club to not just our long-standing fans, but also to potential future supporters. I can assure you that the passion surrounding this tournament will be abundant.”
Aside from focusing on fan engagement, Kompany’s primary objective for the future, following the Club World Cup, is to uphold Bayern’s traditions while cultivating success with a cohesive squad.
“Despite being a globally recognised and highly advanced brand, Bayern remains deeply rooted in its traditions,” he asserted. “Wherever Bayern Munich travels, it retains the essence that fans from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s can relate to. This tradition is alive and breathing every day within our club, and we aim to continue the club’s legacy.”
“I truly see and feel the dedication towards achieving football success as we move forward.”
“The players I see here resonate with me. I understand what drives them, as well as their ambitions and previous challenges they face, which often go unnoticed by outsiders. My experiences in similar dressing rooms have given me unique insight, and I’m grateful to have such a harmonious group who enjoy each other’s company. I recognise the importance of maintaining that dynamic.”
