Optimism reigns supreme at Bayern Munich

FC Bayern had a very solid 2025.

Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer is appreciative of how good 2025 was to the club and is optimistic about the future in Bavaria.

“It’s been an eventful, exciting and special year, at the end of which we have well over 430,000 members, which says a lot about how much is being done right in this club, both on and off the pitch. On behalf of the club, I would like to thank all members and fans for their support and loyalty,” Hainer told FCBayern.com. “Together, we can look back on an anniversary year with plenty of reasons to celebrate, which also gives us plenty of reasons to be optimistic: FC Bayern is in an excellent position, not least when you look at the league tables for our professional teams in both men’s and women’s football – and above all beyond that.

“In sporting terms, we celebrated the ‘Bavarian treble’ with the men’s and women’s football championships and the basketball championship – something that has never happened before, and the women also won the double for the first time in their history. Financially, our CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen was able to post outstanding results at the Annual General Meeting, and in social matters, we once again implemented many projects in which we’re committed to helping people in need, promoting open-mindedness and diversity. In recent weeks in particular, we’ve been able to implement important decisions such as the extension of Vincent Kompany’s contract until 2029 and the acquisition of the Sportpark Unterhaching for the women’s team. We celebrated 125 years of FC Bayern and are in an excellent position to continue our success story.”

A big part of how others view 2026 will be tied to the success of the men’s team, which is in great position at the moment. Will Hainer have the same type of outlook at this time next year?
