On July 30, 2026 Bayern Munich took on amateur local club Rottach‑Egern in a behind‑closed‑doors pre‑season friendly.
The German side routed 15 goals and held a clean sheet.
Nathaniel Brown earned his first‑team debut, and Aleksandar Pavlović returned after a long injury layoff.
The fixture gave early performance checks for players who will travel to the World Cup.
Pavlović said he feels eager to go on the offensive again following season.
Bayern leveraged the match to experiment with systems and measure stamina before the new campaign begins.
