The World Cup ended last weekend, as Spain clinched their second title by defeating Argentina in the final. After the end of the World Cup, there is always intrigue around the team of the tournament. FIFA announced the fan-voted team of the tournament on Wednesday. Bayern Munich fans will be pleased to have a couple of players from the current squad in the World Cup team of the tournament.
Michael Olise and Dayot Upamecano were part of this team as they helped France reach the semi-finals. It is not surprising to see them feature as the Bayern duo had a stellar tournament.
Olise enhanced his reputation as one of the best forwards in Europe by providing seven assists at the World Cup. He broke Pele’s record of most assists in a single World Cup. Even though he had a quiet evening against Spain in the semi-final, Olise overall had a strong tournament.
The French forward’s strong performances at the World Cup and incredible consistency for Bayern have seen him linked with a move to Real Madrid. Bayern have no plans to part ways this summer, so there is a very good chance of him playing in Bavaria
Dayot Upamecano also had a very solid World Cup campaign. The French international was part of the formidable center-back partnership with William Saliba. The last two years have been incredible for Upamecano as he has polished the rough edges of his game to become one of the best central defenders in the World.

Bayern Munich- One of top earning clubs from FIFA for the World Cup
The clubs get monetary compensation for releasing players for the World Cup. According to The Athletic, Bayern are third in the list of compensation earned from FIFA for the World Cup 2026.
The Bavarian club will get $3.4 million from FIFA. Real Madrid and Manchester City are the only clubs ahead of Die Roten. The overall compensation depends on the number of players the club has present in the tournament and how long they play in the World Cup.
Bayern fans will be relieved that none of the first-team players suffered a serious injury during the tournament. Alphonso Davies and Lennart Karl suffered injuries before the tournament, but they should be fit for the start of the season. Serge Gnabry is also expected to be fit for the start of the season. Die Roten welcomed the first batch of players for the pre-season preparations earlier this week.
