FC Bayern München (English: FC Bayern Munich, also known as FCB, Die Bayern, and Die Roten) is a German sports club based in Munich, Bavaria. It is best known for its professional football team, which is the most successful club in German football, having won 20 Bundesliga titles and 14 cups.
The club was founded in 1900 by eleven football players led by Franz John. Although Bayern won its first national championship in 1932 the club was denied access to the Bundesliga at its inception in 1963. In the middle of the 1970s the club had its period of greatest success, when the famous team around Franz Beckenbauer managed to win the European Cup three times in row (1974-76). In recent years they have been by far the most successful team in German football, winning seven of the last ten championships. The last international title was the Intercontinental Cup in 2001.
Since the beginning of the 2005-06 season Munich plays its home games in the Allianz Arena, after playing for 33 years in the Olympic Stadium. It's colours are red and white. Their crest shows the colours of Bavaria.
Bayern is a membership based club and with more than 140,000 members, the third largest in the world after SL Benfica and FC Barcelona.[1] There are also more than 2000 officially-registered fan clubs with about 132,000 members.[2] The club has other departments for chess, handball, basketball, gymnastics, bowling, table tennis, referees, and senior football with more than 1100 active members.[3]
History
FC Bayern Munich was founded by members of a Munich gymnastics club (MTV 1879). When a congregation of members of MTV 1879 decided on February 27th that the footballers of the club would not be allowed to join the DFB, eleven members of the football division left the congregation and on the same evening founded the FC Bayern Munich. Within the first months FC Bayern Munich achieved high victories against all local rivals and reached the semifinals of the 1900-01 southgerman championship.
In the following years the club won some local trophies until in 1910-11 FC Bayern Munich joined the newly founded "Kreisliga", the first regional Bavarian league. They won this league in the first year, but could not win it again until the begin of World War I, which halted all football activities in Germany.
In the years after the war FC Bayern Munich could win some more regional honours until the club in 1926 won the first southgerman championship, an achievement repeated two years later. Their first national honour was gained in 1932, winning the German championship by defeating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in the final. The advent of the Hitler regime put an abrupt end to Bayern's development. The president and the coach, both of whom were Jewish, left the country. Many others in the club also saw themselves purged. In the following years, Bayern, taunted as the "Jew's club", decayed into irrelevance.[4]
After the war Bayern became a member of the Oberliga 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. In 1955 they suffered the ignominy of relegation, but returned to the Oberliga in the following season and even won the German Cup for the first time, beating Fortuna Düsseldorf 1-0 in the final. The club struggled financially though, verging on bankruptcy at the end of the 1950s. Manufacturer Roland Endler provided the necessary funds and was rewarded with four years at the helm of the club. In 1963 the Oberligas in Germany were consolidated to one national league, the Bundesliga. Bayern were denied membership, but gained promotion two years later, fielding a team with young talents like Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller and Sepp Maier - who would later be collectively referred to as the axis.
In their first Bundesliga season Bayern finished third and also won the German Cup, qualifying for the European Cup Winners Cup, which they won in the following year in a dramatic final against Scottish club Rangers, when Franz "the Bull" Roth scored the decider in a 1-0 extra time victory. In 1967 Bayern retained the German Cup, but slow overall progress saw a new coach, Branko Zebec take over. He replaced Bayern's offensive style of play with a more disciplined approach, and in doing so achieved the first league and cup Double in Bundesliga history, using only 13 players throughout the season.
Udo Lattek took charge in 1970. After winning the cup in his first season he led Bayern to their third German championship. The deciding match in the 1971-72 season against Schalke 04 was the first match in the brand new Olympic Stadium, and was also the first live televised match in Bundesliga history. Bayern swept Schalke away 5-1 and thus claimed the title, also setting several records, including points gained and goals scored. Bayern also won the next 2 championships, but the zenith was the triumph in the 1974 European Cup final against Atlético Madrid, which Bayern won 4-0 after a replay. The following years the team was unsuccessful domestically, but defended their European title by defeating Leeds United in the final when "Bull" Roth and Müller secured victory with their late goals. A year later in Glasgow, AS Saint-Étienne were defeated by another Franz Roth goal and Bayern became the third club to win the trophy in 3 consecutive years. The final trophy won by Bayern in this era was the Intercontinental Cup, in which Brazilian club Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte were defeated over two legs.
The 1980s were a period of off-field turmoil for Bayern, with many changes in personnel and financial problems. On the field, the Bundesliga title was won in 1980 and 1981. But for the German Cup win in 1982, two relatively unsuccessful seasons followed, after which former coach Udo Lattek returned. Bayern won the 1984 cup final, then went on to win 5 championships in 6 seasons, including a double in 1986. However, European success was elusive during the decade; Bayern only managed to claim the runners-up spot in the European Cup in 1982 and 1987. Bayern's form dipped after their 1989-90 championship win. After a second place in 1990-91 the club finished just five points above the relegation places in 1991-92. Success returned when Franz Beckenbauer took over for the 2nd half of the 1993-94 season, winning the Championship again after a 3 year gap. Beckenbauer was then appointed club president. His successors as coach, Giovanni Trapattoni and Otto Rehhagel both finished trophyless after a season, not meeting the club's high expectations. 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. Franz Beckenbauer briefly returned at the end of the of the 1995-96 season as caretaker coach and led his team to victory in the UEFA Cup 1995-96, beating Bordeaux in the final. For the 1996-97 season Giovanni Trapattoni returned to win the championship. But in the following season Bayern lost the title to the just promoted 1.FC Kaiserslautern and Trapattoni had to take his leave for the second time.
From 1998-2004 Bayern were coached by Ottmar Hitzfeld, who became the most successful Bayern coach of all time. In Hitzfeld's first season, Bayern won the Bundesliga and came agonisingly close to winning the Champions League, losing 2-1 to Manchester United conceding two goals in injury time after leading for most of the match. The 1999-2000 season resulted in Bayern winning their third league and cup double. A third consecutive Bundesliga title followed in 2001, won in a finish on the final day of the league season. Days later, Bayern won the Champions League for the fourth time after a 25 year gap, defeating Valencia CF on penalties. The 2001-02 season began with the win in the International Cup, but ended trophyless otherwise. A season later Bayern won their fourth double, leading the league by a record margin. Hitzfeld's reign ended in ignominious fashion in 2004, with Bayern underperforming, including a cup defeat by 2nd division Alemannia Aachen. Felix Magath took over and led Bayern two consecutve Doubles.
Prior to the start of the 2005-06 season, Bayern moved from the Olympic Stadium to the new Allianz Arena, which the club shares with TSV 1860. On the field the performance in 2006-07 was erratic though. Trailing in the league and having lost to Alemannia Aachen in the cup yet again, coach Magath was sacked in the winter break.
Former Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld returned to Munich in January 2007, but Bayern finished the 2006-07 season fourth, thus failing to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in more than a decade. Additional losses in the DFB Cup and the League Cup left the club with no honours for the season. For the 2007-08 season, Bayern Munich made drastic squad changes to help retool and rebuild. They signed a total of 8 new players (and also, sold/released or loaned out 9 players). Luca Toni from ACF Fiorentina, Miroslav Klose from Werder Bremen and record signing Franck Ribery from Olympique Marseille headlined the signings. The new additions paid off, as the Reds went on to win the 2008 German Cup and the Bundesliga, being on top of the standings on every single day of play.
On January 11, 2008 it was announced that Jürgen Klinsmann would succeed Ottmar Hitzfeld as Manager on July 1, 2008. He signed on with a two year contract.[5]
Stadium
Before 1925 Bayern had played at various premises, one of their earlier grounds sporting the town's first grandstand.
From 1925 they shared the Grünwalder Stadion with 1860 Munich. Until World War II the stadium was owned by 1860 Munich, and is still colloquially known as Sechzger ("Sixties") Stadium nowadays. It was destroyed during the war, and efforts for refurbishment ended up as a patchwork. Conclusions about its state can be drawn from the fact that the stadium did not host a single German international match after World War I, despite Munich being Germany's third largest city. Bayern's record crowds according to conflicting sources, were either 48,000 in 1948, or 52,000 in 1961 in matches against 1. FC Nuremberg. In the Bundesliga era the stadium had a maximum capacity of 44,000 which was reached on several occasions. As was the case at most of this period's stadia, the vast majority of the stadium was given over to terracing. Today the second teams of both clubs play in the stadium.
For the Olympic Games of 1972 the city of Munich built the Olympic Stadium. The stadium, still highly impressive with its architectural lightness, was inaugurated in the last Bundesliga match of the 1971-72 season, drawing a capacity crowd of 79,000, which was reached on numerous occasions. The stadium was, in its early days, considered to be one of the foremost stadia in the world and played host to numerous major finals, such as that of 1974 FIFA World Cup. [6]In the years to follow the stadium underwent several modifications, such as an increase in seating space from approximately 50% to ca. 66%. Eventually the stadium had a capacity of 63,000 for national matches, and 59,000 for international occasions, e.g. 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, the stadium betraying its track and field heritage. Modification of the stadium proved impossible as it would have interfered with its heritage listed architecture.
In 2002 Bayern and TSV 1860 jointly undertook the construction of a new stadium, designed purely for football resulting in the modern Allianz Arena, located on the northern outskirts of Munich. It has been in use since the beginning of the 2005-06 season, while its initial capacity of 66,000 fully covered seats has since been increased for matches on national level to 69,901 by transforming 3,000 seats to terracing in a 2:1 ratio.[7] The most prominent feature of the stadium is the translucent outer layer, which can be illuminated in different colours for impressive effects. Usually red lighting is used for Bayern home games and blue for 1860 home games.
The club and its vicinity
Bayern is one of three professional football clubs in Munich. Bayern's main local rival is TSV 1860 Munich, who were the more successful club in the 1960s, winning a cup and a championship. TSV 1860 have in the 1970s and 1980s moved between the first division and amateur sports, but lately have settled in the second division. The rivalry has therefore, at least from a Bayern point of view, lost importance, reflecting the lopsided state of the achievements of the two clubs and the absence of players for whom local grudges would still matter. On the other hand the Münchner Stadtderby is still a much anticipated event, getting a lot of extra attention from supporters of both clubs.[8] 1860 is considered more working-class, and therefore suffers from a diminishing fan base in a city where the manufacturing sector is declining whilst tertiary industries are booming. They are often referred to by sections of the Bayern support as "gymnasts", insinuating a lack of footballing pedigree.
The SpVgg Unterhaching from the semi-rural southern outskirts of town is the third force. They celebrated their biggest success in 1999 when they managed to gain promotion to the Bundesliga and stay in the top flight for a second season. Since then they have been playing in the second Bundesliga and the third division, the Regionalliga. In the 2008-09 season they will be playing in the newly found 3rd Liga. Their loyal fans constitute a "cult" following. There is no rivalry between Bayern and Unterhaching, the most notable event in the relation of the two clubs being the finish of the 1999-2000 Bundesliga season. Despite having already achieved their aims for season, Unterhaching defeated Bayer Leverkusen on the last day of play, giving Bayern the chance to surpass Leverkusen in the standings and claim the title.
Since the 1920s the 1. FC Nuremberg is the main rival in Bavaria. Both clubs played in the same league in the mid-1920s, but in the 1920s and 1930s Nuremberg was the far more successful club, winning several chamipionships and calling itself record champion. When the FC Bayern in 1987 won their 10th championship they surpassed the amount of championships won by 1.FC Nuremberg, thereby in effect taking over the title of record champion, Nuremberg had held for sixty years. The duel between Bayern and Nuremberg is often referred to as the Bayern-Derby.
These days Bayern considers itself a national club, which is reflected in polls determining them as both the most popular and most loathed club in Germany. In recent years all of Bayern's away games have been sold out, owing partly to the club having supporters all over the country. Bayern's main rivals are always the clubs who put up the strongest fight against its national dominance. In the 1970s this was Borussia Mönchengladbach, in later years this category has expanded to include Hamburger SV. In the 1990s Werder Bremen, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen emerged as the most ardent opponents. Recently Schalke 04, and again Bremen and Hamburg have been the main challengers in league play. Amongst Bayern's chief European rivals are Real Madrid and AC Milan and Manchester United due to many classic wins, draws and losses.
Bayern is considered the establishment club, which is reflected by their board being stacked with business leaders and the former Bavarian minister president. The club has more than 132,000 members and 2,000 fanclubs, making it the club with the most organized supporters in Germany. Their following is mainly recruited from the aspiring middle class and regional Bavaria. Despite a large proportion of their supporters having to travel up to 200km (ca. 120 miles) regularly, the club's home matches in the Allianz Arena have almost without exception been sold out.[9] Bayern Munich is also renowned for its well-organised ultra scene. The most prominent groups are the *Schickeria München, the Red Munichs '89, the Südkurve '73, the Munichmaniacs 1996, the Service Crew Munich, the Red Angels, the Tavernen Crew München, and the Red Sharks.
Stern des Südens is the song which fans sing at FCB home games. In the 1990s they also used to sing FC Bayern, Forever Number One.
Organization and finance
Professional football at Bayern is run by the spin-off organization FC Bayern München AG. AG is short for Aktiengesellschaft, and Bayern is run like a joint stock company, a company whose stock are not listed on the public stock exchange, but is privately owned. 90% of FC Bayern München AG is owned by the club, the FC Bayern München e. V. (e. V. is short for Eingetragener Verein, which translates into "Registered Club") and 10% by sports goods marketers Adidas, which are also a major sponsor of the club. Adidas acquired its shares in 2002 for €77m.
Among the main advertising partners of the club are Deutsche Telekom (jersey rights), Audi, Siemens, Lufthansa airlines and Coca-Cola. In previous years the jersey rights were held by Adidas (1974-78), Magirus Deutz and Iveco (trucks / 1978-84), Commodore (computers / 1984-89) and Opel (1989-2002)
Bayern is led mostly by former players of the club. President of the club is Franz Beckenbauer. He is also chairman of the supervisory board of the AG. The Chairman of the executive board of the AG is Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Uli Hoeness, who is deputy chairman of the executive board of the AG. He has been in office, formerly as general manager of the club, since 1979.
In 2007 the club reported record profits despite a poor year of on pitch performance, with an after tax profit of 18.9 million Euros.[10] According to the Deloitte study Bayern is currently the 7th richest club in the world, generating revenues of €227.2 Mio.[11]
Amateur Sports
FC Bayern II
Main article: Bayern Munich II
The amateur football department serves mainly as the final stepstone for promising younger players before they get promoted to the professional team. Bayern II is coached by Hermann Gerland and Gerd Müller. Since the inception of the Regionalligas in 1994 the team has played in the Regionalliga Süd, after playing in the Oberliga since 1978. In the 2007-08 season they qualified for the newly found 3rd Liga. The team has since 1978 played in the highest league that the DFB permits the second division of a professional football team to play.
Junior Football
Main article: Bayern Munich Junior Team

Training facility
FC Bayern Munich training facilities, for both the professional and the Junior Team, are located at the Bayern Munich Headquarters.[14] There are four grass pitches, one of which has undersoil heating, one artificial grass field and a multi-functional sports hall.
The players' quarters, which opened in 1990, offers a big dressing room, a massage room, a doctor's surgery room, a relaxation bath, a whirlpool, a state-of-the-art rehabilitation centre and a conference room with screening facilities for video analysis.
One visible component of this facility is the club's Youth House, which houses up to 13 rising young stars from outside the city, working on their development as footballers as part of Bayern's highly successful Junior Team. The value of this particular facility has been demonstrated by Bayern's capture of Germany's senior youth championship in 2001 and 2002, and the emergence of stars such as Paolo Guerrero and Owen Hargreaves, both former residents of the Youth House.
