Tate Asante Joins FC Bayern World Squad!
Our very own Tate Asante, has been selected for the FC Bayern World Squad!
FC Bayern World Squad is a unique initiative by FC Bayern Munich where talented players from around the world have the opportunity to showcase their skills and potentially earn a spot in the club's youth academy. This project allows FC Bayern to scout and recruit promising young talents globally, helping to cultivate a diverse and competitive team for the future. The World Squad program not only benefits the club by expanding its talent pool but also provides opportunities for young players to fulfill their dreams of playing for a top European club like FC Bayern Munich.
The team recently left Munich to embark on a US tour to showcase their top-tier talent on American soil. The team will head to North Carolina, Miami, Washington and New York before retuning to Munich. The tour will provide fans in the United States a unique opportunity to witness the world-class skills of FC Bayern's global roster.
Roy Makaay, former Bayern Munich striker, has been appointed as the head coach of the World Squad team. Makaay, known for his goal-scoring prowess during his playing career, notably at Deportivo La Coruña and Bayern Munich, brings a wealth of experience to his new coaching role. His in-depth knowledge of the game and his success at the highest level make him a valuable addition to the World Squad coaching staff.
Tomorrow the team will play in the famous TST World Championship. This international 7v7 tournament gathers the top teams from around the globe to compete in a fast-paced and dynamic format of the sport. The 7v7 format features smaller teams playing on a smaller field, emphasizing quick passing, skillful dribbling, and close teamwork. Teams compete against each other in a round-robin format followed by knockout stages to determine the champion. The tournament provides a platform for players to showcase their talents on a global stage and for fans to enjoy high-quality, exciting soccer matches.
We look forward to following Tate’s journey on the tour!
