"The draw underlines that the Club World Cup offers top international clubs a unique opportunity to present themselves worldwide in a new format. It is an honour that FC Bayern is part of the starting field. Since 2014, our office in New York has been close to sports enthusiasts in the USA, which was a decisive step, and with the 2026 World Cup in mind, football will once again gain a greater presence in the United States. We are looking forward to exciting games and to experiencing the enthusiasm of fans around the world."
"An interesting new tournament that gives us opponents with tradition, a historical touch of Diego Maradona and from the other side of the world. What a mix that makes hearts beat faster: We are really looking forward to seeing Benfica Lisbon again, the legendary Boca Juniors from Argentina and Auckland City, who you don't come across every day. We will approach this group with the utmost respect - and our goal is clear: to get as far as possible in this tournament."
"It's a new format with lots of new names. We have an exciting group. We already know Benfica, we just played against them in the Champions League. They're a big club that plays good football. Boca Juniors is one of the most traditional clubs in South America with a huge fan base. FC Bayern played against them in the 2001 World Cup final, with Sammy Kuffour scoring in extra time. So we have good memories. Auckland is something very special. It's going to be very exciting."
