DFL Supercup 2017
Bundesliga champions FC Bayern Munich and DFB-Pokal (German Cup) winners Borussia Dortmund gear up to clash in the Supercup 2017, which will be the first highlight of the new 2017/18 season. The match will be played at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund on August 5 at 20.30 CET.
The Supercup clash between the two German powerhouses will be a matter of pride and rivalry. Bayern Munich are already under pressure due to their poor pre-season results, while Dortmund had also their problems in the last few games.

Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund, popularly known as “Der Klassiker”, will be heralding the dawn of a season for a fifth time since the Deutsche Fußball-Liga (DFL) brought back the competition in 2010.
