"Bayern sees it as a social responsibility to help the refugees, needy children, women and men, to help them and to accompany them in Germany," said club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

The money raised from the dedicated friendly match will go towards various refugee projects, while Bayern's next home game against Augsburg on September 12 will see each Bayern player enter the pitch with a German child on one hand and a refugee's child on the other in order to "set an example for the integration of refugees."
