Bayern Munich will face Real Madrid in a preseason friendly on Aug. 13 honoring Franz Beckenbauer after he stepped down as the German club's president.

Bayern Munich said on Monday that ticket sales for the match at its Allianz Arena will begin on Tuesday.

The game will offer Louis van Gaal's team a rematch against Jose Mourinho, the incoming Madrid coach, whose Inter Milan side beat Bayern in the Champions League final.

Uli Hoeness replaced Beckenbauer as president of the Bavarian club last season.

Beckenbauer has become the honorary president of Germany's most consistently successful club.
