D.C. United to play Bayern Munich in summer friendly at Audi Field

D.C. United will host European power Bayern Munich in a July 20 friendly, the biggest opponent to visit Audi Field since it opened four years ago.

Bayern will also face Manchester City on July 23 at Lambeau Field, home of the NFL’s Green Bay Packers. The matches fall during Bayern’s run-up to the 2022-23 Bundesliga season, which is scheduled to begin Aug. 5.

With four matches left this season, Bayern is on the cusp of a 10th consecutive Bundesliga championship and 32nd league title overall. Last week the club was eliminated by Spain’s Villarreal in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, a competition Bayern has won six times, most recently in 2020.
