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
KARL-HEINZ RUMMENIGGE, LONGTIME CEO“ I have been able to experience more than 50 of the 125 years at first hand and I am convinced that the fans can be very proud of the development of their club. FC Bayern has always adhered to the golden rule of combining sporting success and highly attractive football with a solid financial foundation – an outstanding achievement among the top international clubs.
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.“
