Bayern to donate money to refugee projects

Bayern Munich have announced plans to help migrants in Germany amid the widespread refugee crisis.

The Bundesliga champions have opted to donate €1m (£729,000) to refugee projects and will also provide meals and youth academy training camps.

Bayern president Karl Heinz Rummenigge said: "Bayern has a social responsibility to help the refugees, needy children, women and men, to help them and to assist them in Germany."

The club also hope to set an example of integration in their next home game against Augsburg when the players will enter the pitch with one German child and one refugee child.
