FC Bayern Munich arrive into Delhi today

German Bundesliga giants FC Bayern Munich arrive in New Delhi this afternoon ahead of the Audi Football Summit tomorrow in which they face the Indian national football team at the floodlit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.

From the original 24 players squad which had been announced in late-December by the Bavarians there is only one change. FC Bayern will fly from the Qatari capital Doha to Delhi with only three goalkeepers in the squad as fourth keeper Maximilian Riedmueller stayed at home, while talented 17 year old midfielder Emre Can was brought along by coach Jupp Heynckes to get a feel of the first team.

The week long Qatar camp has been very harmonious with only a second of bother when star striker Mario Gomez limped off after only a few minutes in a friendly against Egyptian giants Al Alhi, Cairo on Saturday. FC Bayern kept their 100% record in 2012 intact with a injury time 2-1 win. Both goals came from Croatian Ivica Olic. Yesterday FC Bayern's second team took on the ASPIRE Academy Under-19 boys and won 5-0 with Japanese recruit Takashi Usami scoring all five goals in the win.

Earlier on Thursday FCB had played a match against Qatari second Division side Al Sailiya SC and they went on to win the match in emphatic fashion. It ended with a 13-0 trashing for the Qataris.

The Audi Football Summit will kick-off at 4.30 pm with the national India finals of the FC Bayern Youth Cup, while the India vs Bayern Munich game will start at 6 pm.

Tickets for the match are still available and will be sold across counter at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
