Born in Munich, Kabadayi can operate both as a winger and a central striker. The 20-year-old came through all of FC Bayern’s youth teams, including for their second side in the Regionalliga, where he netted 13 times and provided four assists in 38 matches. Kabadayi, who also has Turkish citizenship, has been a Germany youth international since 2021, having featured a total of 18 times for their U18, U19 and U20 sides.

Bayern Munich demolished Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga and picked up three crucial points during a 6-0 victory.

SC have a tough start to the season ahead of them, with head coach Julian Schuster’s side travelling to face Bayern the following week (30.08-01.09). The first international break of the season will then follow, before SC return to Bundesliga action at home against VfL Bochum on the weekend of 13th to 15th September.

“Bamba has repeatedly shown – not only in the training sessions but also in his cameo appearances in the Bundesliga – what extraordinary capabilities he possesses. We have every confidence that he will establish himself as a Bundesliga player at TSG in the future,” said Pirmin Schwegler, the Director of Professional Football in Hoffenheim. “At the current stage of his career, however, it is predominantly about getting onto the pitch regularly and racking up game time at the highest possible level. For this reason, we have jointly made the decision to loan Bamba out to the ambitious second-division club Karlsruher SC for the upcoming season so that he can take the next step in his career there. We’re certain that this loan will definitely pay off both for Bamba and for us as a club.”

As usual in Germany, the champions play the first game of the new league season on a Friday night.

The Fuggerstädter’s first away day of the season will take them to Heidenheim, before two more home games at the WWK Arena against Bundesliga new boys St. Pauli and a resurgent Mainz 05. “We’re delighted to kick things off by playing at home. Starting with three home games out of four is a really unique situation. We will put in the hard yards to get the season off to a good start,” said Augsburg head coach Jess Thorup. The season will end with a home fixture, too – FCA’s final-day opponents will be Union Berlin, who narrowly avoided relegation last campaign.
