German champions FC Bayern on Thursday formally announced its China tour this summer which will see three friendly games against Valencia CF, Inter Milan and Guangzhou Evergrande in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
As another major step of its internationalization, FC Bayern will visit China from July 16 to July 24, the club announced in a press release.
On July 18, FC Bayern will face the six times Spanish Champion Valencia CF in the Olympic Stadium "Bird's Nest" in Beijing.
On July 21 head coach Pep Guardiola's team will take on the 18-time Italian champions Inter Milan in Shanghai.
At its final stop in Guangzhou on July 23, FC Bayern will play against FC Guangzhou Evergrande, who have won the Chinese title for the last four years in a row and who were the Asian Champions League winners in 2013.
"The Audi Summer Tour in China is another further step in our international orientation, where the clear focus is on the USA and China," said Joerg Wacker, Executive Board Member of Internationalization and Strategy of FC Bayern Munich.
"FC Bayern has nearly 90 million followers in China, who will have the opportunity to see one of the best teams in the world right up close during the tour," he added.
FC Bayern's last China tour was in 2012 with two friendly games.
