FC Bayern arrange friendly against Heidenheim to close pre-season

FC Bayern will play a friendly against 1. FC Heidenheim four days before facing Borussia Dortmund in the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup. The plan was discussed for some time, but it was only announced by the clubs this Wednesday as it’ll be played after Heidenheim’s first two 2. Bundesliga fixtures.

Voith-Arena, where Bayern were on the receiving end of a 3-2 defeat in their first-ever visit before winning 4-0 in the last two seasons, will host the game. Frank Schmidt’s side will entertain newly-promoted VfL Osnabrück in the same stadium on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Bayern traveled to Hong Kong for the second part of their Asian tour after their 2-1 victory over Jeju SK in South Korea on Tuesday. Vincent Kompany’s men will play against Europa League winners Aston Villa on Friday. They will then host RB Leipzig at home before closing their preparations with the game against last season’s 17th-placed Bundesliga side.
