Bayern to support refugees with camps, donations
Berlin, Sep 3 : FC Bayern Munich will support refugees coming to Germany by way of a one million euro ($1.1 million) donation and holding a special training camp, Bavarian club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge announced on Thursday.
"We at FC Bayern consider it our socio-political responsibility to help displaced and needy children, women and men, supporting and assisting them in Germany," Rummenigge said.
Bayern has plans to organise a training camp for young refugees in the coming weeks, in addition to providing suitable meals and football kits.
