The German Football League has decided to open an exceptional summer transfer period to support Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund ahead of their participation in the 2025 Club World Cup, which will be held in the United States from June 14 to July 13.

The league confirmed in a statement to the German news agency that the exceptional period will run from June 1 to 10, while the official transfer period remains from July 1 to September 1, similar to what the English, Italian, and Spanish leagues, as well as the Saudi Pro League, have done.

The decision aims to allow clubs to register new players early and to re-register loaned players whose contracts expire on June 30, such as Mathys Tel, Bayern Munich's star loaned to Tottenham, to ensure their participation in the global tournament.

Bayern Munich is placed in Group C alongside Portuguese Benfica, Argentine Boca Juniors, and New Zealand's Auckland City, while Borussia Dortmund is in Group F with Brazilian Fluminense, South Korea's Ulsan, and South Africa's Sundowns.

With this decision, the German League aims to facilitate its clubs' preparations for the largest edition in the history of the Club World Cup, amidst strong competition among the top clubs in Europe and worldwide.
