According to Bayern Munich’s director of international affairs Martin Haegele, the German club would be playing matches with junior talents and the promising kids would be flown to Germany to attend a five-day camp.

The German stars, who’ll be here in city two days (May 25) prior to the match, will also visit Peerless Hospital.

On Bayern’s other scheduled programmes, Bengal Peerless managing director Kumar Shankar Bagchi said that the Bundesliga leaders would also open a souvenir outlet in New Town, Rajarhat.

“They will promote CDs on technique with footages of their training. Some of their merchandise too… That will help the juniors,” he said.
