"The FC Bayern World Squad has established itself as a cornerstone of our international youth development programme. Every talented player has the opportunity to surpass themselves at the highest level and thus take decisive steps towards a career in professional football. We not only nurture sporting abilities, but also character and mentality. This is how the professional players of tomorrow can develop."
"The FC Bayern World Squad is an impressive example of how international young talents are given a door into elite sport. The combination of high performance standards, cultural diversity and genuine development prospects reflects values that are also of central importance to Audi."
"One prime example of what is possible through the FC Bayern World Squad is Maycon Douglas Cardozo. After spending time at FC Bayern's Global Academy in the 2023/24 season, he became part of the World Squad Class of '24. He's been under contract with the German champions since the beginning of 2025, trained with the professional team for the first time in October and made his debut under Vincent Kompany in January in the 5-0 friendly win at Salzburg."
"Talented players born in 2008 or 2009 can now apply to become part of the next World Squad generation by submitting a highlights video. Full details of the application process and terms and conditions can be found HERE."
