Bayern Munich (officially Fußball-Club Bayern München e. V.) is a famous German sports club from Munich, Bavaria. They are best known for their men's professional football team. This team plays in the Bundesliga, which is the top football league in Germany. Bayern is the most successful club in German football history. They have won a record 34 national titles and 20 national cups. They also have many European titles.

Bayern Munich was started in 1900 by eleven players, led by Franz John. They won their first national championship in 1932. The club became very successful in the 1970s. Led by Franz Beckenbauer, they won the European Cup three times in a row (1974–1976). Overall, Bayern has won six European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles. This is a German record. They won their sixth title in 2020 as part of a "Treble" (winning three major trophies in one season).

Bayern is one of only five teams that have earned the right to keep the European Cup trophy forever. They also wear a special badge for winning it multiple times. The club has won other big European and international trophies. These include one UEFA Cup, one European Cup Winners' Cup, two UEFA Super Cups, two FIFA Club World Cups, and two Intercontinental Cups. This makes them one of the most successful European clubs worldwide.

In 2020, Bayern Munich became only the second club to win the "sextuple". This means they won all six possible trophies in a calendar year. These were the League, Cup, and Champions League in one season. Then, they won the Domestic Supercup, UEFA Supercup, and Club World Cup in the next season. Bayern Munich is one of five clubs to have won all three of UEFA's main club competitions. They are the only German club to do this.

Bayern Munich is one of the most popular football clubs in the world. In July 2025, they had over 400,000 official club members. They also had 4,286 fan clubs with more than 325,000 members. This makes them the largest sports club in the world by membership. The club also has other sports departments like basketball, gymnastics, and table tennis. Since 2005, Bayern has played its home games at the Allianz Arena. Before that, they played at the Olympiastadion for 33 years. The team's colors are red and white. Their crest shows the white and blue flag of Bavaria.

Club History

Early Years (1900–1960s)

Bayern Munich's first game against 1. FC Nürnberg in 1901.

Bayern Munich was founded on February 27, 1900. Eleven football players left a gymnastics club to start their own team. In their first few months, Bayern won many games against local rivals. They even won 15–0 against Nordstern. They reached the semi-finals of the South German championship in 1900–01.

In 1910–11, Bayern joined the new "Kreisliga," the first regional Bavarian league. They won this league in their first year. By 1920, Bayern had over 700 members, making it the biggest football club in Munich. Their first national title came in 1932. Coach Richard Kohn led the team to win the German championship. They beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2–0 in the final.

The rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany stopped Bayern's progress. The club president and coach, who were Jewish, had to leave the country. Many others were also removed from the club. Bayern was called the "Jew's club." After World War II ended in 1945, Bayern struggled. They hired and fired 13 coaches between 1945 and 1963. In 1955, the club was moved down to a lower league. But they quickly returned and won the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) for the first time in 1957.

The club faced money problems in the late 1950s. But a new president, Roland Endler, helped them become financially stable. In 1963, Germany's top football leagues were combined into one national league, the Bundesliga. Bayern was not chosen to join at first. But in 1965, with young stars like Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller, and Sepp Maier, they earned their way into the Bundesliga.

Golden Years (1960s–1970s)

In their first Bundesliga season (1965–66), Bayern finished third and won the DFB-Pokal. This allowed them to play in the European Cup Winners' Cup the next year, which they won. Franz Roth scored the winning goal in a 1–0 extra time victory against Rangers. In 1967, Bayern won the DFB-Pokal again.

In 1969, under coach Branko Zebec, Bayern won both the league and the cup. This was the first time a Bundesliga team achieved this "double." Udo Lattek became coach in 1970. He led Bayern to their third German championship in 1972. The deciding match was the first game played in the new Olympiastadion. Bayern won the next two championships as well.

Their biggest success came in 1974 when they won the European Cup against Atlético Madrid. This win showed that Bayern was a major force in international football.

The three European Cup trophies Bayern Munich won from 1974 to 1976. The one on the far right is the real trophy, given to Bayern permanently.

Bayern defended their European title in 1975 by beating Leeds United. A year later, in 1976, another goal from Roth helped them defeat Saint-Étienne. Bayern became the third club to win the trophy three years in a row. The last trophy of this era was the Intercontinental Cup, which they won against Brazilian club Cruzeiro. After 1977, many key players like Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller left the team. The club did not win any more titles for the rest of the decade.

From "FC Breitnigge" to New Success (1970s–1990s)

The 1980s were a challenging time for Bayern off the field, with many changes and financial issues. On the field, Paul Breitner and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge led the team to Bundesliga titles in 1980 and 1981. After a few less successful seasons, coach Udo Lattek returned. Bayern won the DFB-Pokal in 1984 and then five Bundesliga championships in six seasons. This included another "double" (league and cup) in 1986. However, they did not win any European titles during this time.

Jupp Heynckes became coach in 1987. Bayern won two more championships in 1989 and 1990. But then their performance dropped. In 1993–94, Bayern was knocked out of the UEFA Cup by Norwich City. This was the only English club to beat Bayern at the Olympiastadion. Franz Beckenbauer took over as coach for the second half of the 1993–94 season. He led them to win the championship again after four years. Beckenbauer then became the club president.

The next coaches, Giovanni Trapattoni and Otto Rehhagel, did not win any trophies. During this time, Bayern's players were often in the news for things happening off the field. Franz Beckenbauer briefly returned as a temporary coach in 1996. He led the team to win the UEFA Cup. Trapattoni returned for the 1996–97 season and won the championship. But in the next season, Bayern lost the title to 1. FC Kaiserslautern, and Trapattoni left again.

International Triumphs (1990s–2000s)

Ottmar Hitzfeld coached Bayern from 1998 to 2004. In his first season, Bayern won the Bundesliga. They almost won the Champions League but lost 2–1 to Manchester United in the final. The next year, Bayern won their third "double" (league and cup). In 2001, they won their third Bundesliga title in a row. Days later, Bayern won the Champions League for the fourth time. They beat Valencia in a penalty shootout.

The 2001–02 season started with a win in the Intercontinental Cup. In 2002–03, Bayern won their fourth double. Hitzfeld's time as coach ended in 2004. Felix Magath took over and led Bayern to two more doubles. In 2005, Bayern moved to the new Allianz Arena. In 2007, Hitzfeld returned as coach. But Bayern finished fourth in the league, missing out on the Champions League for the first time in over ten years.

Domestic Success and Treble Wins (2000s–2010s)

For the 2007–08 season, Bayern brought in new players like Franck Ribéry, Miroslav Klose, and Luca Toni. Bayern won the Bundesliga easily and also the DFB-Pokal. After this, their long-time goalkeeper Oliver Kahn retired. Coach Ottmar Hitzfeld also retired. Jürgen Klinsmann became the new coach. However, Klinsmann was fired before his first season ended. Jupp Heynckes became a temporary coach and led the club to finish second in the league.

For the 2009–10 season, Bayern hired Dutch manager Louis van Gaal. Dutch forward Arjen Robben also joined. Robben and Ribéry became known as "Robbery" and were key to Bayern's attacking style. Bayern had their most successful season since 2001. They won the domestic double and reached the Champions League final, but lost to Inter Milan. Van Gaal was fired in April 2011.

Heynckes returned for his second full period as coach in 2011–12. Bayern signed Manuel Neuer and Jérôme Boateng. But they finished second in the league and cup to Borussia Dortmund. They also lost the Champions League final at their home stadium, the Allianz Arena, to Chelsea on penalties.

Bayern Munich then won all titles in the 2012–13 season. They set many Bundesliga records and became the first German team to win the "treble" (league, cup, and Champions League). Bayern finished the Bundesliga with 91 points.

In the 2013 Champions League final, Bayern beat Borussia Dortmund 2–1. A week later, they won the DFB-Pokal final against Stuttgart to complete the treble. The club announced that Pep Guardiola would be the coach for the 2013–14 season.

Guardiola's first season started well. Bayern extended their unbeaten league run to 53 matches. They won the league title early. Bayern also won the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup. The UEFA Super Cup was the last major trophy the club had not yet won. Bayern also won the cup in 2014, but lost in the Champions League semi-finals to Real Madrid. Under Guardiola, Bayern won the Bundesliga again in 2015 and 2016, including another double in 2016. But they did not get past the Champions League semi-finals.

Carlo Ancelotti became the next coach. In November 2016, Uli Hoeneß was re-elected as president. Under Ancelotti, Bayern won a fifth league title in a row. In 2017, 1860 Munich left the Allianz Arena. Ancelotti was fired in September 2017 after a big loss in the Champions League. Jupp Heynckes returned as coach for the rest of the season. He led the club to another championship. Niko Kovač was named Heynckes' successor. In Kovač's first season, Bayern was knocked out of the Champions League in the round of 16. But they won their seventh straight Bundesliga title. A week later, Bayern won their 19th German Cup, completing their 12th domestic double.

Recent Years (2019–Present)

Kovač was fired in November 2019. Hansi Flick became the interim manager. Under Flick, the club won the league, having a very successful second half of the season. They also won the cup, completing their 13th domestic double. In the Champions League, Bayern reached their first final since 2013. They beat Paris Saint-Germain 1–0 in the final. Bayern became the second European club to win the seasonal treble twice.

Bayern started the 2020–21 season by winning the UEFA Super Cup. They also won the FIFA Club World Cup. Bayern became the second club to win the "sextuple." The club also won its ninth Bundesliga title in a row. During this season, Robert Lewandowski broke a record for most goals scored in a Bundesliga season. Flick left at the end of the 2020–21 season. Julian Nagelsmann became the new manager.

Under Nagelsmann, Bayern won its 10th Bundesliga title in a row. In March 2023, Nagelsmann was replaced by Thomas Tuchel. Tuchel led the club to a record eleventh consecutive title, winning a close race with Borussia Dortmund. In August 2023, Bayern signed Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur for a record fee. In February 2024, Bayern and Tuchel announced they would part ways after the season. The 2023–24 Bundesliga season was the first in a decade that Bayern Munich did not win the league.

On May 29, 2024, Vincent Kompany was confirmed as the new head coach. Bayern started the 2024–25 Bundesliga season with a win. On May 5, 2025, they won their 34th German title.

In 2000, Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich decided to build a new stadium. The Allianz Arena opened in 2005. It is located on the northern edge of Munich. Since August 2012, the stadium's capacity has increased to 75,000 fans.
