Bayern Munich was founded in 1900 by eleven players, led byFranz John.[4]Although Bayern won its first national championship in1932,the club was not selected for the Bundesliga duringits inception in 1963.The club found success in the mid-1970s when, under thecaptaincyofFranz Beckenbauer,they won theEuropean Cupthree consecutive times (1974–1976). Overall, Bayern have won six European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles (a German record), winning their sixth title in the2020 finalas part of theTreble,and it became the second European club to achieve this feat twice. Bayern has also won oneUEFA Cup,oneEuropean Cup Winners' Cup,twoUEFA Super Cups,twoFIFA Club World Cupsand twoIntercontinental Cups,making itone of the most successful European clubs internationally,and the only German club to have won both international titles. Bayern players have accumulated fiveBallon d'Orawards, twoThe Best FIFA Men's Playerawards, fiveEuropean Golden Shoeand threeUEFA Men's Player of the Yearawards, includingUEFA Club Footballer of the Year.
By winning the2020 FIFA Club World Cup,Bayern Munich became only the second club to win the "sextuple"(winning theLeague,Cup,andChampions Leaguein one season followed by theDomestic Supercup,UEFA SupercupandClub World Cupin the next season), or all trophies that a club can win in a calendar year. Bayern Munich are one offive clubsto have won all three of UEFA's main club competitions and the only German club to achieve that. As of November 2024, Bayern Munich are ranked third inUEFA club rankings.The club hastraditional local rivalrieswith1860 Munichand1. FC Nürnberg.
Since the beginning of the2005–06 season,Bayern has played its home games at theAllianz Arena.Previously, the team had played at Munich'sOlympiastadionfor 33 years. The team colours are red and white, and the crest shows the white and blueflag of Bavaria.Bayern Munich has the largest revenue out of any German sports club and the third highest-earning football club in the world, behindBarcelonaandReal Madrid,earning€634.1 million in 2021.[5]In August 2023, Bayern had more than 300,000 official members and 4,557 officially registered fan clubs, with over 362,000 members. The club has other departments for chess, handball,basketball,gymnastics, bowling, table tennis and senior football, with more than 1,100 active members.[6]
History
editEarly years (1900s–1960s)
edit
Bayern Munich was founded by members of a Munich gymnastics club (MTV 1879). When a congregation of members of MTV 1879 decided on 27 February 1900 that the footballers of the club would not be allowed to join theGerman Football Association(DFB), eleven members of the football division left the congregation and on the same evening founded Fußball-Club Bayern München. Within a few months, Bayern achieved high-scoring victories against all local rivals, including a 15–0 win against Nordstern,[7]and reached the semi-finals of the 1900–01South German championship.[4]In the following years, the club won some local trophies, and, in 1910–11, Bayern joined the newly founded "Kreisliga", the first regional Bavarian league. The club won this league in its first year, but did not win it again until the beginning of theFirst World Warin 1914, which halted all football activities in Germany.[8][9]By the end of its first decade of founding, Bayern had its first German national team player, Max Gablonsky.[10]By 1920, it had over 700 members, making it the largest football club in Munich.[10]
In the years after the war, Bayern won several regional competitions before winning its first South German championship in 1926, an achievement repeated two years later.[8][11]Its first national title was gained in1932,when coachRichard "Little Dombi" Kohnled the team to theGerman championshipby defeatingEintracht Frankfurt2–0 in the final.[8]
The rise ofAdolf Hitlerto power put an abrupt end to Bayern's development. Club presidentKurt Landauerand the coach, both of whom were Jewish, left the country. Many others in the club were also purged. Bayern was taunted as the "Jew's club",while local rival1860 Munichgained much support. Josef Sauter, who was inaugurated in 1943, was the only NSDAP member as president. After a friendly match in Switzerland, some Bayern players greeted Landauer, who was a spectator, and the club was subject to continued discrimination.[12]Bayern was also affected by the ruling that football players had to be full amateurs again, which led to the move of gifted young centre-forwardOskar RohrtoSwitzerland.In the following years, Bayern could not sustain its role of contender for the national title, achieving mid-table results in its regional league instead.[13]
After the end of theSecond World Warin 1945, Bayern became a member of theOberliga Süd,the southern conference of the German first division, which was split five ways at that time. Bayern struggled, hiring and firing 13 coaches between 1945 and 1963. Landauer returned from exile in 1947, and was once again appointed club president, the tenure lasted until 1951. He remains as the club's president with the longest accumulated tenure. Landauer has been deemed the most important figure in Bayern's transition to a professional club.[14][15]In 1955, the club was relegated but returned to theOberligain the following season and won theDFB-Pokalfor the first time, beatingFortuna Düsseldorf1–0 in thefinal.[16][17]
The club struggled financially, though, verging on bankruptcy at the end of the 1950s. President Reitlinger was ousted in the club's elections of 1958 by the industrialist Roland Endler, who provided financial stability for the club. Under his reign, Bayern had its best years in the Oberliga.[18]Endler was no longer a candidate in 1962, whenWilhelm Neudecker,who became wealthy in the postwar construction boom, replaced him.
In 1963, the Oberligas in Germany were consolidated into one national league, theBundesliga.Five teams from the Oberliga South were admitted. The key to qualifying for the Bundesliga was the accumulated record of the last twelve years, where Bayern was only the sixth-ranked club. To boot, local rivals1860 Munich,ranked seventh, were champions of the last Oberliga-Süd season and were given preference on the basis of this achievement.[19][20]After initial protests by Bayern for alleged mistreatment remained fruitless, president Neudecker rose to the challenge and hiredZlatko Čajkovski,who in 1962 led1. FC Kölnto the national championship. Fielding a team with young players likeFranz Beckenbauer,Gerd MüllerandSepp Maier– who would later be collectively referred to asthe axis,they achieved promotion to the Bundesliga in 1965.[17]
The golden years (1960s–1970s)
edit
In their first Bundesligaseason,Bayern finished third and also won theDFB-Pokal.This qualified them for the following year'sEuropean Cup Winners' Cup,which they won in thefinalagainst Scottish clubRangers,Franz Rothscoring the decider in a 1–0extra timevictory.[17]In 1967, Bayern retained theDFB-Pokal,but slow overall progress sawBranko Zebectake over as coach. He replaced Bayern's offensive style of play with a more disciplined approach, and in doing so achieved the firstleagueandcupdoublein Bundesliga history in 1969. Bayern Munich are one of five German clubs to win the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal in the same season along withBorussia Dortmund,1. FC Köln,Werder BremenandBayer Leverkusen.Zebec used only 13 players throughoutthe season.[21]
Udo Lattektook charge in 1970. After winning theDFB-Pokalinhis first season,Lattek led Bayern to theirthird German championship.The deciding match in the1971–72season againstSchalke 04was the first match in the newOlympiastadion,and was also the first live televised match in Bundesliga history. Bayern beat Schalke 5–1, so won the title, while also setting several records, including points gained and goals scored.[22]Bayern also won the next two championships, but the zenith was their triumph in the1974 European Cup FinalagainstAtlético Madrid,which Bayern won 4–0 after a replay.[23]This title – after winning the Cup Winners' trophy 1967 and two semi-finals (1968and1972) in that competition – marked the club's breakthrough as a force on the international stage.
During the following years, the team was unsuccessful domestically, but defended their European title by defeatingLeeds Unitedin the1975 European Cup final,when Roth and Müller secured victory with late goals. "We came back into the game and scored two lucky goals, so in the end, we were the winners, but we were very, very lucky", stated Franz Beckenbauer.Billy Bremnerbelieved the French referee was "very suspicious". Leeds fans then rioted inParisand were banned from European football for three years.[24]A year later inthe finalinGlasgow,another Roth goal helped defeatSaint-Étienne,and Bayern became the third club to win the trophy in three consecutive years. The final trophy won by Bayern in this era was theIntercontinental Cup,in which they defeated Brazilian clubCruzeiroover two legs.[25]The rest of the decade was a time of change and saw no further titles for Bayern. In 1977, Franz Beckenbauer left forNew York Cosmosand, in 1979, Sepp Maier andUli Hoeneßretired while Gerd Müller joined theFort Lauderdale Strikers.[26]Bayernduselwas coined during this period as an expression of either contempt or envy about the sometimes narrow and last-minute wins against other teams.[citation needed]
From FC Breitnigge to FC Hollywood (1970s–1990s)
editThe 1980s were a period of off-field turmoil for Bayern, with many changes in personnel and financial problems. On the field,Paul BreitnerandKarl-Heinz Rummenigge,termed "FC Breitnigge", led the team to Bundesliga titles in1980and1981.Apart from a DFB-Pokal win in1982,two relatively unsuccessful seasons followed, after which Breitner retired, and former coach Udo Lattek returned. Bayern won the DFB-Pokal in1984and went on to win five Bundesliga championships in six seasons, including adoublein1986.European success, however, was elusive during the decade; Bayern, though, finished as runner-up in the European Cups of1982and1987.[27]
Jupp Heynckeswas hired as coach in 1987, but after two consecutive championships in1988–89and1989–90,Bayern's form dipped. After finishing second in1990–91,the club finished just five points above the relegation places in1991–92.In1993–94,Bayern was eliminated in theUEFA Cupsecond round toPremier LeaguesideNorwich City,who were the only English club to beat Bayern at the Olympiastadion during Bayern's time playing there.[28]Franz Beckenbauer took over for the second half of the 1993–94 season, winning thechampionshipagain after a four-year gap. Beckenbauer was then appointed club president.[29]
His successors as coach,Giovanni TrapattoniandOtto Rehhagel,both finished trophyless after a season, not meeting the club's high expectations.[30]During this time, Bayern's players frequently appeared in the gossip pages of the press rather than the sports pages, resulting in the nickname "FC Hollywood".[31]Franz Beckenbauer briefly returned at the end of the1995–96season as caretaker coach and led his team to victory in theUEFA Cup,beatingBordeauxin thefinal.[32]For the1996–97 season,Trapattoni returned to winthe championship.In thefollowing season,Bayern lostthe titleto newly promotedKaiserslauternand Trapattoni had to take his leave for the second time.[33][34]
Renewed international success (1990s–2000s)
edit
After his success at Borussia Dortmund, Bayern were coached byOttmar Hitzfeldfrom 1998 to 2004. In Hitzfeld'sfirst season,Bayern won theBundesligaand came close to winning theChampions League,losing 2–1 toManchester Unitedinto injury time after leading for most of thematch.[35]The following year, inthe club's centenary season,Bayern won the thirdleagueandcupdoublein its history. A third consecutiveBundesligatitle followed in2001,won with astoppage timegoal on the final day of the league season.[36][37]Days later, Bayern won theChampions Leaguefor the fourth time after a 25-year gap, defeatingValenciaonpenalties.[38]The2001–02 seasonbegan with a win in theIntercontinental Cup,[39]but ended trophyless otherwise. In2002–03,Bayern won their fourth double, leading theleagueby a record margin of 16 points.[40]Hitzfeld's reign ended in 2004, with Bayern underperforming, including defeat by second divisionAlemannia Aachenin theDFB-Pokal.[41]
Felix Magathtook over and led Bayern to two consecutivedoubles.Prior to the start of the2005–06 season,Bayern moved from the Olympiastadion to the newAllianz Arena,which the club shared with 1860 Munich.[42]On the field, their performance in2006–07was erratic. Trailing in the league and having lost to Alemannia Aachen in the cup yet again, coach Magath was sacked shortly after the winter break.[43]
Hitzfeld returned as a trainer in January 2007, but Bayern finished the2006–07 seasonin fourth position, meaning noChampions Leaguequalification for the first time in more than a decade. Additional losses in theDFB-Pokaland theDFB-Ligapokalleft the club with no honours for the season.[citation needed]
Domestic dominance and continental treble (2000s–2010s)
editFor the2007–08 season,Bayern made drastic squad changes to help rebuild.[44]Among new signings were2006 World Cupplayers such asFranck Ribéry,Miroslav KloseandLuca Toni.Bayern won the Bundesliga in convincing fashion, leading the standings on every single week of play, and theDFB-Pokalagainst Borussia Dortmund.[45]After the season, Bayern's long-term goalkeeperOliver Kahnretired,[46]which left the club without a top-tier goalkeeper for several seasons. The club's coachOttmar Hitzfeldalso retired andJürgen Klinsmannwas chosen as his successor.[47]However, Klinsmann was sacked before the end of his first season as Bayern trailedWolfsburgin the league, had lost the quarterfinal of the DFB-Pokal toBayer Leverkusen,and were defeated in the quarterfinal of the Champions League byBarcelona,conceding four goals in the first half of the first leg.Jupp Heynckeswas named caretaker coach and led the club to a second-place finish in the league.[48]
For the2009–10 season,Bayern hired Dutch managerLouis van Gaal,[49]and Dutch forwardArjen Robbenjoined Bayern.[50]Robben, alongside Ribéry, would go on to shape Bayern's playstyle of attacking over the wings for the next ten years. The press quickly dubbed the duo "Robbery". In addition,David AlabaandThomas Müllerwere promoted to the first team. Van Gaal stated: "With me, Müller always plays", which has become a much-referenced phrase over the years.[51]On the pitch, Bayern had its most successful season since 2001, securing the domestic double[52]and losing only in thefinalof the Champions League to Inter Milan.[53]Van Gaal was fired in April 2011 as Bayern was trailing in the league and eliminated in the firstknockout round of the Champions League,again by Inter.[54]
Heynckes returned for his second permanent spell in the2011–12season. Although the club had signedManuel Neuer,ending Bayern's quest for an adequate substitute for Kahn, andJérôme Boatengfor the season, Bayern remained without a title for a second consecutive season, coming in second to Borussia Dortmund in the league and the cup.[55]TheChampions League finalwas held at theAllianz Arenaand Bayern reached the final in their home stadium but lost toChelseaon penalties.[56]Bayern Munich went on to win all titles in2012–13.They set various Bundesliga records along the way,[57]becoming the first German team to win thetreble.Bayern finished the Bundesliga on 91 points, only eleven points shy of a perfect season. In what was Bayern's thirdChampions League finalappearance within four years, they beat Borussia Dortmund 2–1.[58]A week later, they completed the treble by winning theDFB-Pokal finalagainstStuttgart.[59]During the season, the club announced that they would hirePep Guardiolaas coach for the2013–14 season.Originally, the club presented this as Heynckes retiring on the expiration of his contract, butUli Hoeneßlater admitted that it was not Heynckes's decision to leave Bayern at the end of the season. It was actually forced by the club's desire to appoint Guardiola.[60]
Guardiola's first season started off well, with Bayern extending a streak of undefeated league matches from the previous season to 53 matches. An eventual loss toAugsburgcame two match days after Bayern had won the league title.[61]During the season, Bayern had also claimed two other titles, theFIFA Club World Cupand theUEFA Super Cup,[62][63]the latter being the last major trophy the club had not yet won. Bayern also won thecupto complete their tenth domestic double,[64]but lost in thesemi-final of the Champions LeaguetoReal Madrid.[65]Off the pitch, Bayern's presidentUli Hoeneßwas convicted of tax evasion in March 2014, and sentenced to3+1⁄2years in prison. Hoeneß resigned the next day,[66]and vice-presidentKarl Hopfnerwas elected president in May. Under Guardiola, Bayern also won the Bundesliga in2014–15and2015–16,including another double in 2015–16,[67]but did not advance past the semi-finals in the Champions League. Although the club's leadership tried to convince Guardiola to stay, the coach decided not to extend his three-year contract.[68]
Carlo Ancelottiwas hired as successor to Guardiola.[69]Off the pitch,Uli Hoeneßhad been released early from prison and reelected as president in November 2016.[70]Under Ancelotti, Bayern won a fifth consecutive league title.[71]In July 2017, Bayern announced that1860 Munichwould leave theAllianzfor good as the club had been relegated to the fourth-tierRegionalliga.[72]During the2017–18 season,Bayern's performances were perceived to be increasingly lacklustre, and Ancelotti was sacked after a 3–0 loss toParis St. Germainin theChampions League,early in his second season.[73]Willy Sagnoltook over as interim manager for a week, before Jupp Heynckes was announced as coach for the rest of the season, in what was his fourth spell at the club.[74]During the season, the club urged Heynckes—even publicly—to extend his contract, but Heynckes, aged 73, stayed firm that he would retire after the season.[75]Heynckes led the club to another championship, but lost the cup final againstEintracht Frankfurt.Eintracht's coach,Niko Kovač,was named Heynckes' successor at Bayern.[76]In Kovač's first season at Bayern, the club was eliminated byLiverpoolin theround of 16in the Champions League, the first time since 2011 that Bayern did not reach the quarter-final.[77]Bayern won their seventh straight Bundesliga title, however, as they finished two points above Dortmund with 78 points. This Bundesliga title was Ribéry's ninth and Robben's eighth.[78]A week later, Bayern defeatedRB Leipzig3–0 in the2019 DFB-Pokal finalto win their 19th German Cup and to complete their 12th domestic double.[79]
Return to German coaches (2019–)
editKovač was sacked after a 5–1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, withHansi Flickbeing promoted to interim manager in November 2019.[80][81]After a satisfying spell as interim, Bayern announced a month later that Flick would remain in charge.[82]Under Flick, the club won theleague,having played the most successful second half of a Bundesliga season in history, winning all but one match, which was drawn.[83]The club also won thecup,completing the club's 13th domestic double.[84]In theChampions League,Bayern reached their first final since 2013, having beaten Barcelona8–2in the quarter-finals.[85]Bayern defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1–0 in thefinal,which was held in Lisbonbehind closed doorsdue to theCOVID-19 pandemic.Former PSG playerKingsley Comanscored the only goal of the match.[86]Bayern became the second European club after Barcelona to complete theseasonal treblein two different seasons.[87]
Bayern started the2020–21 seasonby winning theUEFA Super Cupfor the second time in their history. Bayern also won theFIFA Club World Cup,defeating Mexican teamTigres1–0 in the final. Bayern became the second club to win thesextuple,after Barcelona did so in 2009.[88]The club also won itsninth Bundesligatitle in a row.[89]During the season,Robert LewandowskibrokeGerd Müller's record for most goals scored in a Bundesliga season, having scored 41 times in 29 matches.[90]Flick left at the end of the 2020–21 season to manage the Germany national team, and at Flick's request,RB LeipzigmanagerJulian Nagelsmannsucceeded him.[91][92]According to several news reports, Bayern paid Leipzig €25m as compensation for Nagelsmann's services, a world record for a manager.[93]
Under Nagelsmann, Bayern won its 10th consecutive Bundesliga title.[94]In March 2023, Nagelsmann was released by Bayern and replaced withThomas Tuchel,[95]who led the club to a recordeleventh consecutive title,after winning a close title race withBorussia Dortmund.[96]In August 2023, Bayern broke theGerman transfer recordagain, signingEnglandcaptain and all-time leading goalscorerHarry KanefromTottenham Hotspurfor a reported fee of €110m.[97]In February 2024, Bayern and Tuchel announced the end of their cooperation after the end of the season.

On 29 May 2024,Vincent Kompanywas confirmed as the new head coach of Bayern and received a three-year contract.[99]Bayern started the 2024–25 Bundesliga season with a 3–2 win atVfL Wolfsburg.[100]
Kits
edit
In the original club constitution, Bayern's colours were named as white and blue, but the club played in white shirts with black shorts until 1905 when Bayern joined MSC. MSC decreed that the footballers would have to play in red shorts. Also, the younger players were called red shorts, which were meant as an insult.[4]For most of the club's early history, Bayern had primarily worn white and maroon home kits. In1968–69 season,Bayern changed to red and blue striped shirts, with blue shorts and socks. Between 1969 and 1973, the team wore a home strip of red and white striped shirts with either red or white shorts and red socks. In the1973–74 season,the team switched to an all-white kit featuring single vertical red and blue stripes on the shirt. From 1974 onwards, Bayern has mostly worn an all-red home kit with white trim. Bayern revived the red and blue striped colour scheme between 1995 and 1997. In 1997, blue was the dominant colour for the first time when Adidas released an all navy blue home kit with a red chest band. In 1999, Bayern returned to a predominantly red kit, which featured blue sleeves, and, in 2000, the club released a traditional all-red kit with white trim to be worn for Champions League matches.[101]Bayern also wore aRotwein-coloured home kit in Bundesliga matches between 2001 and 2003, and during the2006–07 Champions Leaguecampaign, in reference to their first-choice colours prior to the late 1960s.[102]
The club's away kit has had a wide range of colours, including white, black, blue, and gold-green. Bayern also features a distinct international kit. During the2013–14 season,Bayern used an all-red home kit with aBavarian flagdiamond watermark pattern, aLederhosen-inspired white and blackOktoberfestaway kit, and an all-navy blue international kit.[103]
In the 1980s and 1990s, Bayern used a special away kit when playing atKaiserslautern,representing theBraziliancolours blue and yellow, asuperstitionborne from the fact that the club found it hard to win there.[104][failed verification]

Crest
edit
Bayern's crest has changed several times. Originally it consisted of the stylised letters F, C, B, M, which were woven into one symbol. The original crest was blue. The colours ofBavariawere included for the first time in 1954.[101]The crest from 1919 to 1924 denotes "Bayern FA", whereby "FA" stands forFußball-Abteilung,i.e., Football Department; Bayern then was integrated into TSV Jahn Munich and constituted its football department.[citation needed]
The modern version of the crest has changed from the 1954 version in several steps.[101]While the crest consisted of a single colour only for most of the time, namely blue or red, the current crest is blue, red, and white. It has the colours of Bavaria in its centre, and FC Bayern München is written in white on a red ring enclosing the Bavarian colours.

Stadiums
edit
Bayern played its first training games at the Schyrenplatz in the centre ofMunich.The first official games were held on theTheresienwiese.In 1901, Bayern moved to a field of its own, located inSchwabingat theClemensstraße.After joining the Münchner Sport-Club (MSC) in 1906, Bayern moved in May 1907 to MSC's ground at theLeopoldstraße.[109]As the crowds gathering for Bayern's home games increased at the beginning of the 1920s, Bayern had to switch to various other premises in Munich.[110]
From 1925, Bayern shared theGrünwalder Stadionwith1860 Munich.[111]Until the Second World War, the stadium was owned by 1860 Munich, and is still colloquially known asSechz'ger( "Sixties" ) Stadium. It was destroyed during the war, and efforts to rebuild it resulted in a patchwork. Bayern's record crowd at the Grünwalder Stadion is reported as more than 50,000 in the home game against1. FC Nürnbergin the1961–62season.[112]In theBundesligaera, the stadium had a maximum capacity of 44,000, which was reached on several occasions, but the capacity has since been reduced to 21,272. As was the case at most of this period's stadiums, the vast majority of the stadium was given over to terracing. Since 1995, the second teams and youth teams of both clubs played in the stadium.[113][114]
For the1972 Summer Olympics,the city of Munich built theOlympiastadion.The stadium, renowned for its architecture,[115]was inaugurated in the last Bundesliga match of the1971–72season. The match drew a capacity crowd of 79,000, a total which was reached again on numerous occasions. In its early days, the stadium was considered one of the foremost stadiums in the world, and played host to numerous major finals, such as that of the1974 FIFA World Cup.[116]In the following years, the stadium underwent several modifications, such as an increase in seating space from approximately 50 per cent to 66 per cent. Eventually, the stadium had a capacity of 63,000 for national matches and 59,000 for international occasions such as European Cup competitions. Many people, however, began to feel that the stadium was too cold in winter, with half the audience exposed to the weather due to lack of cover. A further complaint was the distance between the spectators and the pitch, betraying the stadium's track and field heritage. Renovation proved impossible, as the architectGünther Behnischvetoed major modifications of the stadium.[117]
After much discussion, the city of Munich, the state ofBavaria,Bayern Munich and1860 Munichjointly decided at the end of 2000 to build a new stadium. While Bayern had wanted a purpose-built football stadium for several years, the awarding of the2006 FIFA World Cupto Germany stimulated the discussion as the Olympiastadion no longer met theFIFAcriteria to host a World Cup game. Located on the northern outskirts of Munich, theAllianz Arenahas been in use since the beginning of the2005–06season.[117]Since August 2012, 2,000 more seats were added in the last row of the top tier, increasing the capacity to 71,000.[118]In January 2015, a proposal to increase the capacity was approved by the city council, with the Allianz Arena holding a capacity of 75,000 (70,000 in Champions League).[119]
The stadium's most prominent feature is the translucent outer layer, which can be illuminated in different colours for effects. Red lighting is used for Bayern home games and white forGermany national teamhome games.[120]
In May 2012, Bayern opened a museum about its history, FC Bayern Erlebniswelt, inside the Allianz Arena.[121]

Rivalries
edit
Bayern is one of three professional football clubs inMunich.Bayern's main local rival is1860 Munich,who was the more successful club in the 1950s and was controversially picked for the initial Bundesliga season in 1963, winning a cup and a championship. In the 1970s and 1980s, 1860 Munich moved between the first and the third division. TheMunich derbyis still a much-anticipated event, getting much extra attention from supporters of both clubs.[141]Despite the rivalry, Bayern has repeatedly supported 1860 Munich in times of financial disarray.[142]
Since the 1920s,1. FC Nürnberghas been Bayern's main and traditional[143]rival in Bavaria.Philipp Lahmsaid that playing Nürnberg is "always special" and is a "heated atmosphere".[143]Both clubs played in the same league in the mid-1920s, but in the 1920s and 1930s, Nürnberg was far more successful, winning fivechampionshipsin the 1920s, making the club Germany's record champion. Bayern took over the title more than sixty years later, when they won their tenth championship in1987,thereby surpassing the number of championships won by Nürnberg.[143][144]The duel between Bayern and Nürnberg is often referred to as theBavarian Derby.
Bayern also has a strong rivalry with theKaiserslautern,originating in parts from a game in 1973, when Bayern lost 7–4 after leading 4–1,[145][146]but also from the two clubs competing for German championship honours at various times in the Bundesliga, as well as the city ofKaiserslautern,together with the surroundingPalatinate,having been part of Bavaria until the end of the Second World War.
Since the 1970s, Bayern's main rivals have been the clubs who put up the strongest fight against its national dominance. In the 1970s, this wasBorussia Mönchengladbach,[23]in the 1980s, the category expanded to includeHamburger SV.In the 1990s,Borussia Dortmund,Werder BremenandBayer Leverkusen[147][148]emerged as the most ardent opponents. Since the 2000s,Borussia Dortmund,Schalke 04,[149]and Werder Bremen have been the main challengers in the Bundesliga.[150]Bayern and Dortmund also have played against each other in the DFB-Pokal final in2008,2012,2014,and2016.The 5–2 loss against Dortmund in the 2012 final was Bayern's worst ever loss in a DFB-Pokal final.[citation needed]The highlight of the rivalry between the two clubs was when Bayern defeated Dortmund 2–1 in thefinalof the2012–13 UEFA Champions League.
Amongst Bayern's chief European rivals areReal Madrid,[151]AC Milan,[152]andManchester United.[147]Real Madrid versus Bayernis the match that has historically been played most often in the Champions League/European Cup with 28 matches. Due to Bayern being traditionally hard to beat for Madrid, Madrid supporters often refer to Bayern as the "Bestia negra"(" Black Beast ").[153]Despite the number of duels, Bayern and Real have never met in the final of a Champions League or European Cup.
Organization and finance
edit
Bayern is mostly led by former club players. From 2016 to 2019,Uli Hoeneßserved as the club's president, followingKarl Hopfnerwho had been in office from 2014; Hoeneß had resigned in 2014 after being convicted of tax fraud.[154][155]Oliver Kahnwas chairman of the executive board of the AG.[156]Thesupervisory boardof nine consists mostly of managers of big German corporations.

Three German corporations, the sports goods manufacturerAdidas,the automobile companyAudiand the financial services groupAllianzeach hold 8.33 per cent of the shares, 25 per cent in total.[156]Adidas acquired its shares in 2002 for €77 million. The money was designated to help finance theAllianz Arena.[159]In 2009, Audi paid €90 million for their share. The capital was used to repay the loan on the Allianz Arena.[160]And in early 2014, Allianz became the third shareholder of the company acquiring theirs share for €110 million. With the sale, Bayern paid off the remaining debt on the Allianz Arena 16 years ahead of schedule.[161]Bayern's other sports departments are run by the club.[citation needed]

In contrast, Bayern's matchday revenue trails other top clubs at €103.8 million (17 per cent of their total revenue).[168]In 2017,Forbesranks Bayern as the world's fourth-most valuable football club in theirannual list,estimating the club's value at €2.5 billion.[169]
While other European clubs have mainly marketed to international audiences, Bayern had focused on Germany.[170]Since the 2010s, Bayern have started to focus their marketing more onAsiaand theUnited States.Bayern made summer tours to the United States in 2014 and 2016.[citation needed]Bayern went toChinain the summer of 2015 and returned in the summer of 2017, where they also played games inSingapore.In August 2014, Bayern opened an office in New York City as the club wants to strengthen their brand positioning against other top European clubs in the United States.[171]In March 2017, Bayern opened an office inShanghai,China.[172]

editBayern has been involved with charitable ventures for a long time, helping other football clubs in financial disarray as well as ordinary people in misery. In the wake of the2004 Indian Ocean Tsunamithe "FC Bayern – Hilfe e. V." was founded, a foundation that aims to concentrate the social engagements of the club.[173]At its inception, this venture was funded with €600,000, raised by officials and players of the club.[174]The money was, amongst other things, used to build a school in Marathenkerny,Sri Lanka,[174]and to rebuild the area ofTrincomalee,Sri Lanka.[173]
The club has also assisted other sport clubs in financial disarray. The club has supported its local rival1860 Munichwith player transfers at favourable rates and direct money transfers.[175]WhenSt. Paulithreatened to lose its licence for professional football due to financial problems,[when?]Bayern met the club for a friendly game, giving allgate receiptsto St. Pauli.[176]In 1993,Alexander Zicklertransferred fromDynamo Dresdento Bayern for 2.3 MillionDM,with many considering the sum to have been a subvention for the financially threatened Dresdeners.[177]In 2003, Bayern provided a €2 Million loan to the nearly bankruptBorussia Dortmund.[178][179][180]In 2009,Mark van Bommel's home clubFortuna Sittardwas in financial distress; Bayern played a charity game at the Dutch club, gifting them gate receipts.[181]In 2013, Bayern played a charity game against financially threatened third division sideHansa Rostock.The game raised about €1 million, securing Hansa's licence.[182]In 2017, Bayern played a benefit match against financial troubledKickers Offenbach,with all gate receipts going to Kickers Offenbach.[183]Two years later, Bayern played a benefit match against Kaiserslautern. The match was played so Kaiserslautern could secure their licence to play in the German third division. All income from the match went to Kaiserslautern.[184]In March 2020, Bayern, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen, the four German UEFA Champions League teams for the 2019–20 season, collectively gave €20 million to Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga teams that were struggling financially during theCOVID-19 pandemic.[185]
