'''Fußball-Club Bayern München e. V.''' ('''FCB''', {{IPA|de|ˈfuːsbalˌklʊp ˈbaɪɐn ˈmʏnçn̩}}), commonly known as '''Bayern Munich''' ({{langx|de|Bayern München}}), '''FC Bayern''' ({{IPA|de|ˌɛft͡seː ˈbaɪɐn|pron|De-FC Bayern.ogg}}) or simply '''Bayern''', is a German professional [[sports club]] based in [[Munich]], [[Bavaria]]. They are most known for their men's professional [[association football|football]] team, who play in the [[Bundesliga]], the top tier of the [[German football league system]]. Bayern are the most successful club in German football and are among [[List of football clubs by competitive honours won|the world's most decorated]], having won a record 34 [[List of German football champions|national titles]], including eleven consecutive titles from 2013 to 2023 and a record 20 [[DFB-Pokal|national cups]], alongside numerous European titles and 2 [[Sextuple (association football)|sextuples]] in 2013 and 2020. 

Bayern Munich was founded in 1900 by eleven players, led by [[Franz John]].<ref name="fcbbook1stch">{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

The club found success in the mid/late-1960s, but the pinnacle came in the 1970s under the [[Captain (association football)|captaincy]] of [[Franz Beckenbauer]], as they won the [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] three consecutive times (1974–1976). Overall, Bayern have won six European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles (a German record), winning their sixth title in the [[2020 UEFA Champions League Final|2020 final]] as part of the [[Treble (association football)|Treble]], and it became the second European club to achieve this feat twice. Furthermore, the club is one of five teams that have [[European Champion Clubs' Cup#Clubs awarded the trophy permanently|earned the right]] to keep the trophy and to wear a [[UEFA Badge of Honour|multiple-winner badge]]. The club has reached the final of the European Cup/UEFA Champions League eleven times, [[UEFA Champions League#Team records and statistics|a joint second-most of any club]] in the history of the competition and is also [[European Cup and UEFA Champions League records and statistics#By semi-final appearances|second placed in numbers of semi-final]] appearances. Bayern has also won one [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]], one [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup|European Cup Winners' Cup]], two [[UEFA Super Cup]]s, two [[FIFA Club World Cup]]s and two [[Intercontinental Cup (1960–2004)|Intercontinental Cups]], making it [[List of UEFA club competition winners|one of the most successful European clubs internationally]], and the only German club to have won both international titles. Bayern players have accumulated five [[Ballon d'Or]] awards with multiple players coming in the second position in the award, two [[The Best FIFA Men's Player]] awards, five [[European Golden Shoe]] and three [[UEFA Men's Player of the Year]] awards, including [[UEFA Club Footballer of the Year]].

By winning the [[2020 FIFA Club World Cup]], Bayern Munich became only the second club to win the "[[Sextuple (football)|sextuple]]" (winning the [[2019–20 Bundesliga|League]], [[2019–20 DFB-Pokal|Cup]], and [[2019–20 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] in one season followed by the [[2020 DFL-Supercup|Domestic Supercup]], [[2020 UEFA Super Cup|UEFA Supercup]] and Club World Cup in the next season), or all trophies that a club can win in a calendar year. Bayern Munich is one of [[UEFA club competition records and statistics#List of teams to have won the three main European club competitions|five clubs]] to have won all three of UEFA's main club competitions and the only German club to achieve that. As of June 2025, Bayern Munich are ranked second in [[UEFA club rankings]]. The club has [[Bavarian football derbies|traditional local rivalries]] with [[TSV 1860 Munich|1860 Munich]] and [[1.

{{main|History of FC Bayern Munich}}

===Early years (1900s–1960s)===
[[File:Fcn-fcb1901.jpg|thumb|left|The first game of Bayern Munich against [[1. FC Nürnberg]] in 1901]]
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 the [[German 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,<ref>{{cite web |date=22 May 2015 |title=Bayern fans bring club's earliest years to light |url=http://www.thelocal.de/20150522/fc-bayern-fans-early-history-rediscovered |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150525162232/http://www.thelocal.de/20150522/fc-bayern-fans-early-history-rediscovered |archive-date=25 May 2015 |access-date=30 May 2015 |website=The Local}}</ref> and reached the semi-finals of the 1900–01 [[Southern German football championship|South German championship]].<ref name="fcbbook1stch" /> 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 the [[First World War]] in 1914, which halted all football activities in Germany.<ref name="bayernhistory0045">{{cite web |title=1900 bis 1932: Von Beginn an erfolgreich |trans-title=1900 to 1932: Successful from the start |url=http://fcb-erlebniswelt.de/de/historie/meilensteine-ab-1900/1900-1932/index.php |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141028114211/http://fcb-erlebniswelt.de/de/historie/meilensteine-ab-1900/1900-1932/index.php |archive-date=28 October 2014 |access-date=28 September 2014 |publisher=FC Bayern Munich Official Website |language=de }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

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.<ref name="bayernhistory0045" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

The rise of [[Adolf Hitler]] to power put an abrupt end to Bayern's development. Club president [[Kurt Landauer]] and the coach, both of whom were Jewish, left the country. Many others in the club were also purged. Bayern was taunted as the "[[Judenklub|Jew's club]]", while local rival [[TSV 1860 Munich|1860 Munich]] gained 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.<ref name="landauer">{{cite news |date=28 May 2003 |title=Onkel Kurt und die Bayern |url=http://www.zeit.de/2003/23/Sport_2flandauer/komplettansicht |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141017200655/http://www.zeit.de/2003/23/Sport_2flandauer/komplettansicht |archive-date=17 October 2014 |access-date=16 October 2014 |website=Die Zeit |language=de |last1=Faller |first1=Heike }}</ref> 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-forward [[Oskar Rohr]] to [[Swiss national football team|Switzerland]]. 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.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters |publisher=Die Werkstatt |year=2003 |isbn=3-89533-426-X |pages=101–2 |language=de}}</ref>

After the end of the [[Second World War]] in 1945, Bayern became a member of the [[Oberliga Süd (1945–63)|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. 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.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kurt Landauer: Der Mann, der den FC Bayern erfand |url=http://www.br.de/fernsehen/bayerisches-fernsehen/sendungen/kurt-landauer-der-film/index.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141015172638/http://www.br.de/fernsehen/bayerisches-fernsehen/sendungen/kurt-landauer-der-film/index.html |archive-date=15 October 2014 |access-date=16 October 2014 |publisher=[[Bayerischer Rundfunk]] |language=de }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=14 October 2014 |title=DFB-Auszeichnung: Bayern-Ultras erhalten Julius-Hirsch-Preis |url=http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/fc-bayern-muenchen-schickeria-ultras-erhalten-julius-hirsch-preis-a-997151.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141018005832/http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/fc-bayern-muenchen-schickeria-ultras-erhalten-julius-hirsch-preis-a-997151.html |archive-date=18 October 2014 |access-date=16 October 2014 |website=Der Spiegel |language=de }}</ref> In 1955, the club was relegated but returned to the ''Oberliga'' in the following season and won the [[DFB-Pokal]] for the first time, beating [[Fortuna Düsseldorf]] 1–0 in the [[DFB-Pokal 1956–57#Final|final]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

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.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters |publisher=Die Werkstatt |year=2003 |isbn=3-89533-426-X |pages=120–126 |language=de}}</ref> Endler was no longer a candidate in 1962, when Wilhelm Neudecker,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fcbayern.com/en/club/fcb-club/wilhelm-neudecker%E2%80%A0|title=Wilhelm Neudecker (†)}}</ref> who became wealthy in the postwar construction boom, replaced him.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fcbayern.com/en/news/2020/04/april-1962-wilhelm-neudecker-takes-over|title=Wilhelm Neudecker and the beginning of a new era}}</ref>

In 1963, the Oberligas in Germany were consolidated into one national league, the [[Bundesliga]]. 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 rivals [[TSV 1860 Munich|1860 Munich]], ranked seventh, were champions of the last Oberliga-Süd season and were given preference on the basis of this achievement.<ref>Hardy Grüne, Christian Karn: Das große Buch der deutschen Fußballvereine.

FC Köln]] to the national championship. Fielding a team with young players like [[Franz Beckenbauer]], [[Gerd Müller]] and [[Sepp Maier]]&nbsp;– who would later be collectively referred to as ''the axis'', they achieved promotion to the Bundesliga in 1965.<ref name="bayernhistory4667" />

In their first Bundesliga [[1965–66 Bundesliga|season]], Bayern finished third and also won the [[DFB-Pokal 1965–66|DFB-Pokal]]. This qualified them for the following year's [[1966–67 European Cup Winners' Cup|European Cup Winners' Cup]], which they won in the [[1967 European Cup Winners' Cup Final|final]] against Scottish club [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]], [[Franz Roth]] scoring the decider in a 1–0 [[Overtime (sports)|extra time]] victory.<ref name="bayernhistory4667" /> In 1967, Bayern retained the [[DFB-Pokal 1966–67|DFB-Pokal]], but slow overall progress saw [[Branko Zebec]] take over as coach. He replaced Bayern's offensive style of play with a more disciplined approach, and in doing so achieved the first [[1968–69 Bundesliga|league]] and [[1968–69 DFB-Pokal|cup]] [[Double (association football)|double]] in Bundesliga history in 1969. Bayern Munich are one of five German clubs to win the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal in the same season along with [[Borussia Dortmund]], [[1.

[[Udo Lattek]] took charge in 1970. After winning the [[DFB-Pokal 1970–71|DFB-Pokal]] in [[1970–71 FC Bayern Munich season|his first season]], Lattek led Bayern to their [[1971–72 Bundesliga|third German championship]]. The deciding match in the [[1971–72 FC Bayern Munich season|1971–72]] season against [[FC Schalke 04|Schalke 04]] was the first match in the new [[Olympiastadion (Munich)|Olympiastadion]], and was also the first live televised match in Bundesliga history.

===From FC Breitnigge to FC Hollywood (1970s–1990s)===
The 1980s were a period of off-field turmoil for Bayern, with many changes in personnel and financial problems. On the field, [[Paul Breitner]] and [[Karl-Heinz Rummenigge]], termed "FC Breitnigge", led the team to Bundesliga titles in [[1979–80 Bundesliga|1980]] and [[1980–81 Bundesliga|1981]]. Apart from a DFB-Pokal win in [[1981–82 DFB-Pokal|1982]], two relatively unsuccessful seasons followed, after which Breitner retired, and former coach Udo Lattek returned. Bayern won the DFB-Pokal in [[DFB-Pokal 1983–84|1984]] and went on to win five Bundesliga championships in six seasons, including a [[Double (association football)|double]] in [[1985–86 FC Bayern Munich season|1986]]. European success, however, was elusive during the decade; Bayern, though, finished as runner-up in the European Cups of [[1981–82 European Cup|1982]] and [[1986–87 European Cup|1987]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

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.<ref name="fcbbook1stch" /> For most of the club's early history, Bayern had primarily worn white and maroon home kits. In the [[1968–69 FC Bayern Munich season|1968–69 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 the [[1973–74 FC Bayern Munich season|1973–74 season]], the team switched to an all-white kit featuring single vertical red and blue stripes on the shirt.[[File:P Lahm.jpg|thumb|267x267px|Shirt worn by club legend [[Philipp Lahm]].]]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.<ref name="crestcolor">{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

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 the [[2013–14 FC Bayern Munich season|2013–14 season]], Bayern used an all-red home kit with a [[Flag of Bavaria|Bavarian flag]] diamond watermark pattern, a ''[[Lederhosen]]''-inspired white and black ''[[Oktoberfest]]'' away kit, and an all-navy blue international kit.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2 September 2013 |title=Beer-ern Munich: European Champs Get Oktoberfest Uniforms |work=Der Spiegel |url=http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/bayern-munich-stars-to-wear-lederhosen-inspired-shirts-a-919856.html |url-status=live |access-date=10 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140328111852/http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/bayern-munich-stars-to-wear-lederhosen-inspired-shirts-a-919856.html |archive-date=28 March 2014}}</ref> In the 1980s and 1990s, Bayern used a special away kit when playing at [[1.

==Crest==
[[File:Flag of Bavaria (lozengy).svg|thumb|[[Flag of Bavaria]]]]
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 of [[Bavaria]] were included for the first time in 1954.<ref name="crestcolor" /> The crest from 1919 to 1924 denotes "Bayern FA", whereby "FA" stands for ''Fußball-Abteilung'', i.e., Football Department; Bayern then was integrated into TSV Jahn Munich and constituted its football department.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}

The modern version of the crest has changed from the 1954 version in several steps.<ref name="crestcolor" /> 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==
[[File:Model of stadium at Leopoldstrasse.JPG|thumb|Model of Bayern's first stadium, their home from 1906 to 1924]]
Bayern played its first training games at the Schyrenplatz in the centre of [[Munich]]. The first official games were held on the [[Theresienwiese]]. In 1901, Bayern moved to a field of its own, located in [[Schwabing]] at the [[Clemensstraße]]. After joining the Münchner Sport-Club (MSC) in 1906, Bayern moved in May 1907 to MSC's ground at the [[Leopoldstraße]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters |publisher=Die Werkstatt |year=2003 |isbn=3-89533-426-X |pages=451–452 |language=de}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters |publisher=Die Werkstatt |year=2003 |isbn=3-89533-426-X |page=55 |language=de}}</ref>

From 1925, Bayern shared the [[Grünwalder Stadion]] with [[TSV 1860 Munich|1860 Munich]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters |publisher=Die Werkstatt |year=2003 |isbn=3-89533-426-X |pages=453–455 |language=de}}</ref> Until the Second World War, the stadium was owned by 1860 Munich, and is still colloquially known as ''Sechz'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 against [[1. FC Nürnberg]] in the [[1961–62 Oberliga|1961–62]] season.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters |publisher=Die Werkstatt |year=2003 |isbn=3-89533-426-X |page=122 |language=de}}</ref> In the [[Bundesliga]] era, 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.<ref>{{cite web |year=2005 |title=Das Grünwalder Stadion |url=http://www.fcbayern.t-home.de/de/verein/ag/stadion/gruenwalder/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081221215657/http://www.fcbayern.t-home.de/de/verein/ag/stadion/gruenwalder/ |archive-date=21 December 2008 |access-date=11 August 2008 |publisher=FC Bayern Munich Official Website |language=de}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |year=2007 |title=Sportliche Höhepunkte in der Geschichte des Sechz'gers |url=http://www.gruenwalder-stadion.de/?id=43 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080922055934/http://www.gruenwalder-stadion.de/?id=43 |archive-date=22 September 2008 |access-date=14 July 2008 |publisher=Freunde des Sechz'ger Stadions e.

[[File:Olympiastadion Muenchen.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Olympiastadion (Munich)|Olympiastadion]], home of Bayern Munich from 1972 to 2005]]

For the [[1972 Summer Olympics]], the city of Munich built the [[Olympiastadion (Munich)|Olympiastadion]]. The stadium, renowned for its architecture,<ref>{{Cite book |author=Manfred Brocks |title=Monumente der Welt |publisher=Harenberg |year=1985 |isbn=3-88379-035-4 |pages=286–287 |language=de}}</ref> was inaugurated in the last Bundesliga match of the [[1971–72 Bundesliga|1971–72]] season. 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 the [[1974 FIFA World Cup]].<ref>{{cite web |date=31 December 2007 |title=The Olympic Stadium&nbsp;– Event Highlights |url=http://www.olympiapark-muenchen.de/index.php?id=hoehepunkte_olystad |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090207062452/http://www.olympiapark-muenchen.de/index.php?id=hoehepunkte_olystad |archive-date=7 February 2009 |access-date=12 July 2008 |publisher=Olympiapark München GmbH }}</ref> In the following years, the stadium underwent several modifications, such as an increase in seating space from approximately 50&nbsp;per cent to 66&nbsp;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 architect [[Günther Behnisch]] vetoed major modifications of the stadium.<ref name="diebayern_allianzarena">{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

After much discussion, the city of Munich, the state of [[Bavaria]], Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich jointly 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 the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]] to Germany stimulated the discussion as the Olympiastadion no longer met the [[FIFA]] criteria to host a World Cup game. Located on the northern outskirts of Munich, the [[Allianz Arena]] has been in use since the beginning of the [[2005–06 Bundesliga|2005–06]] season.<ref name="diebayern_allianzarena" /> Since August 2012, 2,000 more seats were added in the last row of the top tier, increasing the capacity to 71,000.<ref>{{cite web |date=29 August 2012 |title=Zuschauer-Kapazität der Allianz Arena erhöht |trans-title=Allianz Arena capacity increased |url=http://www.fcbayern.de/de/news/news/2012/36638.php |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141109065800/http://www.fcbayern.de/de/news/news/2012/36638.php |archive-date=9 November 2014 |access-date=28 September 2014 |publisher=FC Bayern Munich |language=de }}</ref> 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). 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 for [[Germany national football team|Germany national team]] home games.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters |publisher=Die Werkstatt |year=2003 |isbn=3-89533-426-X |pages=465–469 |language=de}}</ref> In May 2012, Bayern opened a museum about its history, Bayern Erlebniswelt, inside the Allianz Arena.

[[File:DFB Pokal Viertelfinale 2008 FC Bayern - 1860 München 1.jpg|thumb|right|A [[Munich derby]] match at the Allianz Arena between Bayern and [[TSV 1860 Munich|1860 Munich]] in the quarter-final of the [[2007–08 DFB-Pokal]] on 27 February 2008]]

=== Borussia Dortmund ===
[[Der Klassiker|Bayern–Dortmund]] are two of the most successful teams in German football, having won a combined total of 26 of the past 31 Bundesliga titles as of the [[2023–24 Bundesliga|2023–24 season]]. The two teams fought closely for the Bundesliga title in the early 2010s, and met in the [[2013 UEFA Champions League final]]. The rivalry between the clubs grew during the 1990s, as Dortmund's stature increased to challenge perennial title favourites Bayern, winning two [[Bundesliga]] titles in [[1994–95 Bundesliga|1994–95]] and [[1995–96 Bundesliga|1995–96]].

In 1996, Bayern captain [[Lothar Matthäus]] accused [[Germany national football team|Germany]] teammate [[Andreas Möller]] of being a 'crybaby', wiping imaginary tears from his face; Möller reacted by slapping Matthäus. At the end of that season, Dortmund won the [[1997 UEFA Champions League final]] which happened to be played at the [[Olympiastadion (Munich)|Olympiastadion]], Bayern's home ground.

The teams met in the quarter-finals of the [[1997–98 UEFA Champions League|next edition]] of the Champions League, and Dortmund prevailed over two legs thanks to a single goal from [[Stéphane Chapuisat]]. That summer, Bayern hired Dortmund's successful coach [[Ottmar Hitzfeld]] to work for them. Tempers flared twice during Bayern and Dortmund's second meeting in the [[1998–99 Bundesliga]], as Bayern goalkeeper [[Oliver Kahn]] first attempted a flying kung-fu kick at Chapuisat, and later appeared to bite [[Heiko Herrlich]]'s ear.

In the early 2000s, both clubs remained successful, as Bayern lost one Champions League final ([[1999 UEFA Champions League final|1999]]) then won another ([[2001 UEFA Champions League final|2001]]) in addition to more domestic success, while Dortmund won the [[2001–02 Bundesliga]] and reached the [[2002 UEFA Cup final|UEFA Cup final]] the same year. An angry 2001 league meeting between the pair was notable for ten yellow cards and three red being shown (a Bundesliga record for indiscipline). However, Dortmund soon fell heavily into debt, and a €2m loan from Bayern in 2004 was a major reason for them being saved from [[bankruptcy]].

On 19 April 2008, the two sides clashed in the [[2008 DFB-Pokal final]] for the first time that took place in [[Olympiastadion (Berlin)|Berlin]]. [[Luca Toni]] opened the scoring after eleven minutes, but [[Mladen Petric]] drew Dortmund level in stoppage time, forcing thirty additional minutes. The Italian completed his double in extra time, thus lifting Bayern to cup glory.

Professional football at Bayern is run by the spin-off organisation ''FC Bayern München AG''.

(''e.&nbsp;V.'' is short for ''[[Registered association (Germany)|eingetragener Verein]]'', which translates into "registered association").

Bayern is an exception in professional football, having generated profits for 27 consecutive years.<ref name="very_solid_foundations" /> Other clubs often report losses, realising transfers via loans, whereas Bayern always uses [[current asset]]s. For the 2023–24 season/DFML edition, Bayern Munich ranked fifth worldwide with revenues of approximately €765.4 million. In the 2024–25 season, Bayern had the fifth highest revenue in club football, generating revenue of €978.3 million. Bayern had the second-highest commercial revenue in the 2019 Deloitte Football Money League, behind only Real Madrid. Bayern's commercial revenue was €348.7 million (55 per cent of total revenue). In the 2022 DFML figures, they had €611.4 million total revenue, of which €345.2 million (≈ 52%) came from commercial income (sponsorships, merchandising, licensing). In contrast, Bayern's matchday revenue trails other top clubs at €103.8 million (17 per cent of their total revenue).<ref>{{cite web |date=January 2019 |title=2019 Football Money League |url=https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/uk/Documents/sports-business-group/deloitte-uk-deloitte-football-money-league-2019.pdf |access-date=14 June 2019 |website=Deloitte.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190125013210/https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/uk/Documents/sports-business-group/deloitte-uk-deloitte-football-money-league-2019.pdf |archive-date=25 January 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2017, ''[[Forbes]]'' ranked Bayern as the world's fourth-most valuable football club in their [[Forbes' list of the most valuable football clubs|annual list]], estimating the club's value at €2.5 billion.<ref>{{cite web |date=1 June 2017 |title=Bayern Munich on the Forbes Soccer Team Valuations List |url=https://www.forbes.com/teams/bayern-munich/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180210235244/https://www.forbes.com/teams/bayern-munich/ |archive-date=10 February 2018 |access-date=10 February 2018 |website=[[Forbes]]}}</ref> Their position (fifth/sixth) indicates elite status—both in sporting and financial terms.

==Honours==
{{main|List of FC Bayern Munich records and statistics#Honours}}

Bayern is historically the most successful team in German football, as they have won the most [[List of German football champions|championships]] and the most [[DFB-Pokal|cups]]. They are also Germany's most successful team in international competitions, having won fourteen trophies. Bayern is the only club to have [[UEFA club competition records and statistics#List of teams to have won the three main European club competitions|won all three major European competitions]], to have won three consecutive [[UEFA Champions League|European Cups]] and to have won the [[Treble (association football)|treble]] twice, one of which was part of the larger, and more elusive, "[[Sextuple (football)|sextuple]]" (2020).
<!-- THIS IS SUPPOSED TO ONLY LIST major trophies; as Bayern has won ALL OF THEM AT LEAST ONCE there should be NO NEED to add another kind of trophy; FOR OTHER TROPHIES, refer to Bayern statistics -->

===Coaches since 1963===
Bayern has had 20 coaches since its promotion to the Bundesliga in 1965. [[Udo Lattek]], [[Giovanni Trapattoni]] and [[Ottmar Hitzfeld]] served two terms as head coach. [[Franz Beckenbauer]] served one term as head coach and one as caretaker, while [[Jupp Heynckes]] had four separate spells as coach, including one as caretaker.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

The club's least successful coach was [[Søren Lerby]], who won less than a third of his matches in charge and presided over the club's near-relegation in the 1991–92 campaign.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thesefootballtimes.co/2023/04/06/remembering-the-disaster-of-1991-92-bayern-munichs-worst-season-in-modern-history/|title=Remembering the disaster of 1991/92, Bayern Munich's worst season in modern history}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68440039|title=Are Bayern Munich heading towards their worst season for over a decade?}}</ref>
