For the celebrations of the club's 125th anniversary, Bundesliga giants Bayern München will be hosting a one-off legends tournament with the aim of honouring the great Franz Beckenbauer.

With the tournament taking place at Munich's SAP Garden on March 17th, Bayern icons Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben have been confirmed in the squad managed by former captain Phillip Lahm.

The indoor tournament will include teams from Germany and across Europe, with Real Madrid, AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart already confirmed, whilst another top European club will be announced in due course.

All of the proceeds taken from the event will go towards the Franz Beckenbauer Foundation, supporting those with both physical and mental disabilities.
