Last season, the semi-finals of the Champions League ended for the women of FC Bayern.

Now the FCB wants to go high with a reinforced squad.

Munich

- So now it is running, the mission to defend the title.

After the performance diagnostics were due on campus at the beginning of the week, the Bayern women returned to the field on Wednesday.

The goal of the Munich women for the coming season is clear: the championship should be defended.

FC Bayern had to wait five years for the bowl since 2016, now it should find its way to Munich for the second time in a row.

FC Bayern around Kahn and Hainer aim high - numerous newcomers to the Munich team

“I'm already looking forward to the next season.

We can still achieve a lot with this team, ”said Oliver Kahn, meanwhile CEO, after the championship.

Much was also right in the Champions League, the Bayern women only failed in the semi-finals at Chelsea.

“Of course we want to go further internationally,” says President Herbert Hainer.

For this, the squad was screwed in the summer. Maximiliane Rall (27, Hoffenheim), Saki Kumagai (30, Olympique Lyon), Sofia Jakobsson (31, Real Madrid), Glodis Viggosdottir (26, FC Rosengard) and Janina Leitzig (22, Hoffenheim) will wear the Bayern jersey in the future. Leitzig strengthens the goalkeeper team because Carina Schlüter (24), who was hapless in Munich, has moved to second division RB Leipzig. Viggosdottir is at home in central defense, where there was a need after the departures of Amanda Ilestedt (28, Paris Saint-Germain) and Simone Boye (29, goal still open). Rall can mainly be used on the outside, Kumagai, on the other hand, feels most comfortable in the middle of the field, but can also play a row further back. Jakobsson can be used flexibly in the offensive.

FC Bayern women: squad not yet complete - first in the Bundesliga against Werder Bremen

Weronika Zawistowska (21), who came from the Polish record champions Czarni Sosnowiec, was immediately loaned out to Bundesliga promoted 1. FC Köln for a season.

There she should collect match practice - as well as Julia Pollak (19), who is on loan for Leverkusen.

It will be a long time before coach Jens Scheuer has the entire squad together: with Jakobsson, Hanna Glas (both Sweden), Kumagai (Japan) and Lineth Beerensteyn (Netherlands), four players are playing at the Olympics.

Positive, however: With Giulia Gwinn and Jovana Damnjanovic, two cruciate ligament patients were back on the pitch at the start.

The Bundesliga starts between August 27 and 29, with FC Bayern playing against Werder Bremen.

Special feature of the new season: All Champions League games can be seen live on DAZN and free of charge on YouTube.
