The fourth Audi Summer Tour will take FC Bayern München back to the United States: During its trip to Los Angeles, Houston and Kansas City, the 2019 German League and Cup title winning team will meet with Arsenal London and Real Madrid at two Audi Football Summits and also play against AC Milan. Audi will be at the side of its partner FC Bayern München with numerous activities off the pitch as well.

For the fourth time, Audi is giving its name to and partnering with the Audi Summer Tour of FC Bayern München. From July 15 to 24, the German record champions will be traveling through the United States as part of their pre-season preparations and meet with international top-flight clubs from Great Britain, Spain and Italy in three matches. In addition, players and officials will be involved in numerous PR activities and meetings with fans off the pitch. 

“The Audi Summer Tour is a perfect opportunity to present our brand in an environment that emphasizes sports and emotions. Together with our partner FC Bayern, we look forward to thrilling football matches and, above all, many meetings with fans and customers in the important U.S. market,” says Thomas Glas, Head of Sports Marketing at AUDI AG. Audi and Bayern have been on the pitch together since 2002. Since 2011, the automotive group has held a stake in FC Bayern München AG as a strategic partner. 

Bayern’s first opponent in Los Angeles on July 17 (8 PM local time) will be the team of Arsenal London. From the West Coast, the tour will move on to Texas where in Houston, on July 20 (7 PM local time), the squad of record Champions League winners Real Madrid will be awaiting FC Bayern München. Following the two Audi Football Summits, the duel against AC Milan in Kansas City on July 23 (8 PM local time) will conclude the test games. All three matches will be held as part of the worldwide “International Champions Cup” (ICC) tournament series. 

The United States is one of the most important strategic growth markets of the Audi brand. In 2018, Audi sold about 225,000 cars in the U.S. The United States is also important to FC Bayern München. The club opened an office in New York City in 2014 and by now enjoys organized support by some 150 fan clubs.

Barely a week after the team has returned to home base, another highlight of its pre-season preparations is coming up: during the Audi Cup at the Allianz Arena, FC Bayern will host Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Fenerbahçe Istanbul on July 30 and 31.

Due to the unfortunate circumstances caused by the pandemic, the Bundesliga champions had to connect with their fans from overseas through their digital summer tours.

“Over the last two years, the virtual Audi Summer Tours have been well received by our fans across the world thanks to the hugely creative content. Nevertheless, nothing replaces real contact with fans in their own home countries. Over time, the Audi Summer Tour has become an important tool in presenting our club on the global — and at the same time bringing our values and our Bavarian roots to the world,” said Andreas Jung, Bayern’s Board Member for Marketing.

According to the club’s press release, another Audi Football Summit is being planned and the details will be announced soon.

Audi Summer Tour: Audi and FC Bayern Munich Take to the Pitch in an Important Growth Market

• The brand with the four rings presents the Audi Q8 e-tron with the design of the new FC Bayern away jersey during its market launch in Japan
• The Audi Football Summit in Tokyo: FC Bayern plays friendly match against Champions League winners Manchester City
• Additional pre-season matches in Tokyo against Kawasaki Frontale and in Singapore against Liverpool FC

The Audi Summer Tour 2023 will see FC Bayern Munich travel to Asia from July 24 to August 3 ahead of the start of the new season. There, the reigning German champions will meet treble winners Manchester City with former FCB coach Pep Guardiola, among other rivals. New signings Raphaël Guerreiro and Konrad Laimer are among the travelling party. The brand with the four rings is also bringing a new member along: the Audi Q8 e-tron , which is currently being launched in Japan. Other Asian markets will follow. Audi is reflecting the Summer Tour’s color scheme with special decals as a unique homage to FC Bayern.

From Tegernsee to Tokyo: After a training camp in Upper Bavaria, FC Bayern Munich is traveling to Asia together with its long-time partner Audi under the motto “A way to inspire”. The first stop on the Audi Summer Tour is Tokyo: At the Audi Football Summit in Japan’s capital, head coach Thomas Tuchel’s team will go up against English champions and Champions League winners Manchester City on July 26 (12:30 p.m., CEST). On July 29, the team faces Japanese top-league club Kawasaki Frontale (12 p.m., CEST). The next day, Germany’s record champion club will fly on to Singapore: At the Singapore Trophy presented by Audi, FC Bayern will face Liverpool FC, managed by coach Jürgen Klopp on August 2 (1:30 p.m., CEST). RTL will broadcast the high-profile friendly matches against Manchester City and Liverpool FC live on free television in Germany at noon. The games, including the match against Kawasaki Frontale, can also be viewed on pay-TV channel Sky. This is the eighth time that the brand with the four rings has given its name to, and partnered with, FC Bayern Munich’s Audi Summer Tour.

“Our partnership with FC Bayern Munich shows: We live progress! We’re also demonstrating this with the Audi Summer Tour in Japan and Singapore, with sporting events and fascinating experiences in strong solidarity with our partner FC Bayern Munich. Asia is of great importance to Audi as our most important growth market. I’m delighted that we are now expanding our product portfolio with the launch of the Audi Q8 e-tron and further strengthening our e-offensive in Asia in the long term,” says Hildegard Wortmann, Member of the Board of Management for Sales and Marketing at AUDI AG.

The Audi Q8 e-tron with the design of the new FC Bayern away jersey

The Audi Q8 e-tron , which will join the FC Bayern Munich team on its trip to Asia, is getting special decals. With the colors black, green, and purple, they reflect the color scheme of the Audi Summer Tour.

Andreas Jung, Executive Board Member responsible for marketing at FC Bayern said: “This year, the Audi Summer Tour offers our fans in Asia the opportunity to experience FC Bayern players live for the first time in five years. We are looking forward to our time in Tokyo and Singapore, where our fan base across the region continues to grow. We want to create even more enthusiasm for soccer there and, together with our partners, inspire people beyond the pitch itself.”

FC Bayern Munich is making its first guest appearance in Japan since 2008; on its last visit to Asia in 2017, the team stopped at China and Singapore.

Top model features over 40 driver assistance systems

As the successor to the electric pioneer, the Audi e-tron , the Audi Q8 e-tron stands out with an optimized drive concept, improved aerodynamics, and higher charging performance and battery capacity. All these innovations make for an increased range up to 600 kilometers (under the WLTP standard) for the Sportback model. The new model from Ingolstadt also offers maximum space and comfort. The features of the Q8 e-tron also meet the demands of discerning Japanese customers, who see the brand with the four rings as a progressive player in the BEV segment.

Among other achievements, the electric SUV and crossover top model sets new standards with its luxury-class interior, which is even brighter thanks to the power panoramic glass roof. Like in all luxury-class models from Audi, the Q8 e-tron also uses the MMI touch response operating system. Practically all the car’s features can be activated via two high-resolution touch displays. In addition, the Audi Q8 e-tron provides drivers with approximately 40 driver assistance systems.

The brand with the four rings and FC Bayern Munich have been partners since 2002; their partnership was recently extended until 2029. Audi has also been a shareholder in FC Bayern München AG since 2011.

Bayern Munich to face Manchester City and Liverpool in Audi Summer Tour

Record Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich will play in Japan and Singapore as part of their summer pre-season plans, with friendlies lined up against English sides Manchester City and Liverpool.

Thomas Tuchel's men will be in Asia from 24 July to 3 August as part of their Audi Summer Tour. Their first game is scheduled against City on 26 July at Tokyo's National Stadium, where they will also face J1 League side Kawasaki Frontale on 29 July. The Bavarian giants will then head to Singapore, taking on Liverpool at the National Stadium on 2 August.

While Bayern visited Singapore on their last pre-season tour to Asia in 2017, this will be their first trip to Japan since 2008. The games in Tokyo - which follow a training camp in Tegernsee, just outside Munich - are being organised jointly with SPTV, the Bundesliga’s Japanese media partner, and the DFL (Deutsche Fußball Liga).

Speaking after the announcement of the training camp and tour, then Bayern CEO  Oliver Kahn said, "FC Bayern is always conscious of its roots in Bavaria and Munich, and it's part of the club's tradition that we regularly prepare for the new season at Tegernsee.

"At the same time, we want to give our fans around the world the opportunity to see our players in the flesh. We're looking forward to this year’s Audi Summer Tour in Asia."

Want more Bundesliga Action?

Andreas Jung, the club's board member for marketing, added, "Bayern has a huge fan base in Asia, which is constantly growing. We want to build the enthusiasm for our sport in the region and give people there an exciting show with our team."

A way to inspire — Audi & FC Bayern take Copenhagen

10/03/2023 Reading Time: 2 min

Audi RS e-tron GT: Power consumption (combined) in kWh/100 km: 22.1–19.8 CO₂ emissions (combined) in g/km: 0 CO₂ emission class: A

The decal of the vehicle illustrated is currently not available either as standard or optional equipment.

Where timeless design meets the future

Copenhagen, the enchanting capital of Denmark, is a city of contrasts. Its historic architecture seamlessly blends with modern design, while its cobblestone streets lead you to vibrant culinary scenes and the tranquil beauty of its waterfront. But what brings us to this Nordic gem today isn't just its picturesque canals and mouthwatering smørrebrød. We're here for football — the game and the spirit.  

As FC Bayern Munich’s partner, Audi has traveled far and wide to support the team, and this time our destination is Copenhagen. The occasion? An exhilarating away game against FC Copenhagen. Let's embark on this journey of football, culture, and adventure as we explore the Danish capital and cheer for our team.

Local and fan perspectives

Meet our team in Copenhagen: Mitja Lafere is well known in Munich as a TV presenter, DJ, and restaurateur. He is joined by FC Bayern legend and former striker, Giovane Elber and local Copenhagen photographer Kenneth Nguyen. Together, they represent all perspectives that have a stake in this away journey — the fan, the (former) teammate, the local.

But there’s more: the Audi RS e-tron GT FC Bayern concept* is proudly showing its colors in Copenhagen too. Its design is inspired by the FC Bayern 2023/24 away jersey and embodies the spirit of the partners and serves as a trailblazer of innovation and inspiration that was launched at the Audi Summer Tour 2023.

Diving into Copenhagen

Copenhagen’s harbors are an integral part of the city's identity, seamlessly blending its maritime heritage with modern innovation. The city's relationship with water extends beyond its picturesque canals and historic harbors. It's a culture that embraces the waterfront as a dynamic space for both recreation and relaxation.

Exploring the urban playground

Giovane and Mitja continue their city tour to Copenhagen’s "Park & Play” rooftop playground. This innovative space is a testament to how Copenhagen embraces the intersection of technology, recreation, and sport, providing an unforgettable experience in the heart of the city.

Away games the Audi way

Finally, there’s not much left to do than to cheer on the boys of FC Bayern as they face FC Copenhagen in the second match of the European Cup. Together with Audi, Mitja, Giovane, Kenneth and all the fans that have travelled to Denmark, spirits and hopes are high for what is to come.

The Audi RS e-tron GT: pure energy and progressive performance

The Audi e-tron GT is a modern-day demonstration of progress. It simultaneously radiates sportiness, high quality, and comfort. Its aerodynamic design and ‘gran turismo’ concept are sure to attract admiring glances. Driving it is a fascinating and thoroughly emotional experience.
