Maycon Cardozo celebrates his debut in Vincent Kompany’s squad for FC Bayern’s home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach, making him the first player from the World Squad to take his place on the bench of the record champions
Maycon Cardozo is a relatively unknown name in FC Bayern’s matchday squad on Friday evening. The young Brazilian, who comes from Bayern’s „World Squad“ project, recently signed a development contract with the record champions – but it does not yet include a professional contract.

The aim is to discover hidden talents at an early stage and pave the way for them to play professional soccer. Maycon could now be the first to hit the ground running
