In addition, he was an important member of the Bayern family with his strong personality, and will always remain so.

“I’m really looking forward to walking back out at the Allianz Arena and hopefully meeting lots of fans who’ve been there since the start of my career,” commented Bastian Schweinsteiger. “I’m especially looking forward to seeing the fans on the south terrace, as we’ve always had a great relationship”.
Schweinsteiger will play one half for each team and is very grateful for the support from both clubs: “I especially want to thank Bayern Munich, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Uli Hoeneß, as well as Andrew Hauptman and Nelson Rodrìguez from Chicago Fire for making the testimonial match possible.”
