Iskenderun FK Overview

For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.

Bayern Munich eventually sweep VfB Stuttgart aside and once again celebrate a home gala at the start of the Bundesliga season. In the shadow of the attacking artists, a supposed sale candidate also finally becomes the summer’s secret winner.

Reigning champions Bayern Munich initiated their Bundesliga title defence with an emphatic 5-1 victory over Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena. Vincent Kompany's rampant side swiftly recovered from a momentary second-half equaliser, scoring four unanswered goals to extend their remarkable run of avoiding defeat in opening league matches since 2011.
