Overview
- FC Bayern München sealed their spot in the Achtelfinale after opening wins of 10:0 against Auckland City and 2:1 over Boca Juniors.
- Bayern will take on SL Benfica on June 24 in Charlotte, where a draw guarantees first place and a one-million-dollar bonus, with two million dollars at stake for a victory.
- Coach Vincent Kompany has vowed to pursue a win rather than settle for a draw, and Jamal Musiala returned to full training after a minor calf issue.
- Borussia Dortmund travels to Cincinnati on June 25 to face Ulsan HD FC needing at least a point to reach the knockout stage, as a loss plus a rival win would see them exit at the group phase.
- DAZN is streaming every match of the expanded 32-team tournament live, with Bayern and Dortmund fixtures available free-to-air on Sat.1 and via Joyn.
