Besides their passion with the auto industry, Germans are also extremely passionate about football and Audi knows that very well. As part of its 100th anniversary celebration and also to pay a tribute to its customers, Audi have organised a two day tournament comprising of four teams, FC Bayer Munich, AC Milan, Boca Juniors and Premier League Champions Manchester United

The Audi Cup will be played at the Allianz Arena, the home of FC Bayern Munchen. With only two days to go, speculations about who will be the MVP player of the competition have already begun and players like Miroslav Klose, Juan Riquelme, Ronaldinho and Wayne Rooney are among the favourites to win the Audi MVP title.

Audi has also teamed up with the Department for Sports, Media and Communication of TU München (Technical University Munich) and aims to make the findings of scientific research available to businesses as well as sports journalists, and contribute to networking between members of the academic community and the field. The MVP selection is a case in point. Of course, the members of the panel will make their decisions spontaneously and, based on their subjective assessment, which should primarily be oriented to the criteria of creativity, personality and fairness.

In addition, they will support their impressions by statistical data. Impire AG, a company specializing in scientific sports analyses in soccer, will provide the judges with a player tracking chart indicating the six most conspicuous players of the meeting – as early as shortly after half-time and shortly before the game ends.

The player who managed to convince the judges with a strong personality as well as playing skills will be honoured for his performance on the field immediately after the final whistle. The Audi MVP will serve as an extra motivation for players to show their best football.
