Bayern lost against the third league, Kompany gave a chance to the four Croats
Bayern Munich suffered a 2-1 defeat against third-tier side Wehen Wiesbaden in their first friendly match of the new season. The loss provided an opportunity for several young players, including four Croatians, to gain experience. Due to the absence of many national team players at the World Cup, manager Vincent Kompany fielded an unusually young squad with an average age of just 17.6 years. Among the young players were Roko Mijatović, Michael Matošević, Raphael Pavlić, and Filip Pavić, all of whom have ties to Croatia. The match saw Wehen take an early lead, but Bayern eventually equalized and dominated the second half. Despite the loss, Kompany emphasized the importance of developing young talent, noting that many starters were still on international duty.

Bayern Munich suffered a 2-1 defeat against third-tier team SV Wiesbaden during their first pre-season match, which was part of the club's 100th anniversary celebrations. The game took place in front of 12,000 spectators at Wiesbaden's stadium. Bayern, missing several players still on international duty after the World Cup, fielded a mix of young academy players and loan signings. Two Croatian defenders, Filip Pavić (16) and Roko Mijatović (18), who were born in Germany but play for Croatia's under-17 national team, made appearances. This match marked Bayern's return to their training ground where they had previously won a match in the DFB Cup. Wiesbaden used the game as a trial ahead of their season opener against Preußen Münster on August 8.

Bayern Munich gave young Croatian talents an opportunity during their first preseason match against Wehen Wiesbaden, where they lost 2-1. Among those playing was Roko Mijatović, making his debut for the senior team, and 16-year-old Filip Pavić, who made his Bundesliga debut last season. Mijatović, born in Germany to a former Croatian player, has been developing at Bayern's academy since 2022 and recently signed a contract through 2028. Despite a knee injury that sidelined him for much of last season, he returned earlier this year and played 45 minutes in his senior debut. Mijatović chose to represent Croatia internationally and is considered one of Europe’s top Croatian talents.
