News from around the FC Bayern Campus: Frauen, U-19, and U-17 updates

There’s a bunch of news from out of the FC Bayern Campus to bring you about the Frauen, U19s, and U17s. In recent weeks, I’m sure you’ve noticed an uptick in coverage of the Bayern Frauen, Bayern II, and other various youth sides. While it’s nearly impossible for many of us to view the games, we’ll continue to do our best to bring you updates.

2019-2020 DFB-Pokal Frauen first-round draw

If you’re unfamiliar with the DFB-Pokal Frauen, here’s a brief explainer. This year, the twelve Bundesliga clubs gets a bye in the first round along with the top three 2.Bundesliga finishers. Like the men’s DFB Pokal, reserve sides cannot compete. This means that Bayern will not be participating in the first round; however, they will keep an eye out for their potential second-round opponent. Last season, Bayern were knocked out in the semifinals by the eventual winners, Wolfsburg.

Miroslav Klose is back for another season with the U17s after turning down a promotion to the U19 squad. He’s set to tackle another season in the B-Juniors Bundesliga Sud/Sudwest with a relatively young squad. Last season, Bayern won the division before being eliminated in the Semifinals by eventual U17 Bundesliga champion FC Köln.

Johannes Schenk, Roman Reinelt, Gabriel Marusic, David Herold, Angelo Brückner, Leon Fust, Luca Denk, Behar Neziri, Nemanja Motika, and Yusuf Kabadayi are returning from last season’s team.

The following players were promoted from Bayern’s U16 side: Nick Salihamidzic (he has a rather famous father, if you didn’t know), Lucas Copado, Dominik Auerhammer, Justin Janitzek, Grant-Leon Mamedova, Frans Krätzig, Gabriel Vidovic, Liam Barakat, Giancarlo Lore, Younes Aitamer, Ibrahim Madougou, Pepe Brekner, Brandon Happi-Monthe, Marcel Wenig.

Two players from Bayern’s U15 team have been promoted to the U17s: Benjamin Dibrani and Tom Hulsmann.
