125 YEARS FC BAYERN
February 2025
JAN-CHRISTIAN DREESEN , CEO FC BAYERN MÜNCHEN AG “ 125 years of FC Bayern , 125 years of ‘ Mia san mia ’ – on and off the pitch . Our club ‘ s leitmotif stands for togetherness and humanity ; values that will also endure in the next 125 years . For all of us , the past also means an obligation to continue to develop the club and at the same time to preserve its core – because this FC Bayern stands for great success and connects people all over the world . It is a birthday that we can celebrate together with the fans happily , certainly also a little proudly – and full of optimism .“
“ I remember when I was a very young player and received an offer from FC Bayern : My parents and I were determined not to sign immediately – but we did anyway . The power of persuasion was too great , the fascination for this club . I haven ‘ t regretted it for one single day . FC Bayern makes hearts beat faster , and to this day I am no different to any other fan . 125 years of FC Bayern make me happy about everything we have achieved here – and , above all , deeply grateful . I am very happy and proud to be part of this great club . There is no other club for me , that has been the case from day one and will always remain so . My wish for the anniversary : never let up , never be satisfied – and never be boring .“
ULI HOENESS , HONORARY PRESIDENT

I wish FC Bayern all the best for the future and I am sure that the club is on the right path to many more great successes .“
