Bayern and FC Barcelona to play charity friendly in Munich on July 24

FC Barcelona will be appearing in a friendly match at the Allianz Arena in Munich against Bayern next Wednesday July 24 as part of the 2013/14 preseason schedule. The two clubs have been discussing this possibility for several months, and finally came to a definitive agreement today Wednesday as part of the ECA general assembly being held in Doha (Qatar). The game will be a friendly and all of the proceeds will go to charity.

The teams will be competing for the Uli Hoeness Cup, as a testimonial for the former player of the same name who is now president of the Bavarian club and will be celebrating his 60th birthday on the day of the match.
