After the announcement of Bayern Munich’s participation in the revamped Club World Cup in the United States next month, reports have emerged of internal frustration within the club. While Bayern is implementing cost-cutting measures that limit the number of staff members travelling to the tournament—including middle management and matchday stewards—the players’ families, including Harry Kane’s wife Katie Goodland, will be invited to attend at the club’s expense.
This decision has caused some irritation among the employees who feel overlooked amid budget reductions. Bayern’s Club World Cup campaign kicks off on June 15 in Cincinnati against New Zealand’s Auckland City, followed by a match against Boca Juniors in Miami on June 20, and then Benfica in Charlotte on June 24. Bayern’s manager, Vincent Kompany, has expressed excitement about the tournament, which offers a significant prize pool of £100 million.
Harry Kane also shared his enthusiasm, noting the uniqueness of the competition and the opportunity it provides to familiarize himself with US stadiums ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Despite the behind-the-scenes tensions, Bayern is focused on securing another trophy in what has already been a memorable season, emphasizing that every title is important to the club.
