Explaining whether Maicon Cardoso has a chance to receive a Bundesliga 2025/26 championship medal.
On 8 April 2026, after Maicon Cardoso, the Brazilian attacker with Thai heritage, had the opportunity to make his debut with Bayern Munich's first team in the 2025-26 season.
Maicon has played 2 matches for Bayern Munich's "Die Roten" first team in the Bundesliga, while continuing to play regularly for the U19 squad, scoring 2 goals.
However, according to competition rules, championship medals are awarded to 30-40 people. Unlike the Premier League, which requires at least 5 appearances, Bundesliga clubs can decide independently which players, coaches, and staff members receive medals.
Currently, Bayern Munich has 34 players in the first team squad (including Maicon Cardoso), and when combined with the staff under Vincent Kompany, the total exceeds 40 people.
This means Maicon has a chance to receive a Bundesliga championship medal if Bayern secures the title.
At present, Bayern Munich leads with 73 points from 28 games, 9 points ahead of second-place Borussia Dortmund, with only 6 matches remaining.
