FC Bayern Munich, one of the most popular German football clubs of all time, has partnered with Artificial Life, a Hong Kong based game developer, for the creation and future release of several Bayern Munich mobile games. Moreover, the Asian company will provide "live interactive mobile entertainment" for Bayern Munich's new and huge Allianz Arena stadium, in order to entertain the team's fans throughout the half-time breaks, whenever their favorites play there. The Arena has a capacity of more than 69,000 spectators, hence there will be lots of people to entertain.

Currently leading the Bundesliga, Germany's premier football league, Bayern Munich (or Bayern M?nchen, in Deutsch) has a powerful team that includes famous players like the veteran goalkeeper (and team captain) Oliver Kahn, Miroslav Klose, the Italian Luca Toni and the Brazilians Lucio and Ze Roberto.

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, ex-star player and actual CEO of Bayern, declared: "The partnership with Artificial Life helps us to reach the leading position among the football clubs worldwide in the mobile business. We are sure that our fans will love these new mobile games and mobile services provided by Artificial Life."

Artificial Life's CEO, Eberhard Schoneburg, completed: "It is an honor to work with Germany's most successful soccer club! FC Bayern Munich has one of the highest brand recognition values in Germany. Pretty much everybody in Germany and every soccer fan in Europe knows the club. We are looking forward to working with the club and its fans to develop some cool and fun to play mobile soccer games as well as to entertaining the fans in the Alliance Arena with our SMS Galaxy during the games in the half time breaks with some interactive mobile games".

The first Bayern Munich mobile game from Artificial Life will probably be released this summer, with other titles to follow later on.
