Regex: /(?<![a-z ])[a-z ]+(?![a-z ])/i, test it here: https://regexr.com/3vv2b

Explanation:

  1. Negative lookbehind of an unwanted character → (?<![a-z ])
  2. At least one wanted character → [a-z ]+
  3. Negative lookahead of an unwanted character → (?![a-z ])

Example in PHP:

if (preg_match_all('/(?<![a-z ])[a-z ]+(?![a-z ])/i', $test, $matches)) {
        print_r($matches);
}

Output:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] =>  FC Bayern Muenchen
            [1] =>  Werder Brem
        )
)
