FC Bayern will not travel to Qatar for a training camp this winter either.

But the reason is not the sponsorship discussion.

Munich - "Every year again", one hears here and there in the past few days.

Nothing out of the ordinary during the Christmas season, of course.

At FC Bayern *, however, they do not join the song.

The record champions do not travel to the training camp in Qatar in winter as usual.

The desert trip was canceled last year, due to the shortened winter break due to the corona pandemic.

In 2022, the Munich-based company will remain on Säbener Strasse and will not travel to the preparatory training camp.

FC Bayern: No Qatar!

The record champions' plan for the winter break

Anyone who now thought that FC Bayern * would draw its conclusions from the heavy fan criticism of the Qatar sponsorship would be disappointed, because the Qatar cancellation has logistical reasons this time as well.

The second half of the Bundesliga starts on January 7th with Bayern's kick-off against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Therefore, Julian Nagelsmann's team stays at home and does not fly into the sun.

The FCB coach gives his stars extra vacation.

While most Bundesliga clubs start their preparations again at the end of December, Thomas Müller and Co. will not start again until January 2nd.

Even after the last preliminary round match of FC Bayern, captain Manuel Neuer was delighted with Nagelsmann's measures.

"It is important to go down now, especially with a view to the coming year, when a World Cup is coming up," said the FCB keeper: "We can be happy that we have a coach who gives us a few more days."

After the end of the first half of the season, FCB Bayern are nine points ahead of BVB at the top of the table.

In addition, after a formidable preliminary round, you are unbeaten in the round of 16 of the Champions League, where RB Salzburg is waiting.

You can take a few more days off there.
