==History==
{{main|History of FC Bayern Munich}}
===Early years (1900–65)===
[[File:Fcn-fcb1901.jpg|thumb|right|The first game of FC Bayern Munich against [[1. FC Nürnberg|Nürnberg]] in 1901]]
FC 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 FC Nordstern,<ref>{{cite news|title=Bayern fans bring club's earliest years to light|url=http://www.thelocal.de/20150522/fc-bayern-fans-early-history-rediscovered|accessdate=30 May 2015|publisher=The Local|date=22 May 2015}}</ref> and reached the semifinals 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. They won this league in its first year, but did not win it again until the beginning of World War I in 1914, which halted all football activities in Germany.<ref name = "bayernhistory0045"/><ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters | language = German | publisher = Die Werkstatt | year = 2003 | pages = 30–40 | isbn = 3-89533-426-X}}</ref>
In the years after the war, Bayern won several regional competitions, before winning their 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. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters | language = German | publisher = Die Werkstatt | year = 2003 | pages = 51–63 | isbn = 3-89533-426-X}}</ref>
Their first national title was gained in [[German football championship 1932|1932]], when coach [[Richard Kohn|Richard "Little Dombi" Kohn]] led the team to the [[German champions (football)|German championship]] by defeating [[Eintracht Frankfurt]] 2–0 in the final.<ref name = "bayernhistory0045" />
The advent of [[Nazism]] put an abrupt end to Bayern's development. The 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 "Jew's club", while local rival [[1860 München]] gained much support. Josef Sauter, who was inaugurated 1943, was the only NSDAP member as president. As some Bayern players greeted Landauer, who was watching a friendly in Switzerland lead to continued discrimination.<ref name="landauer">{{cite web | url = http://www.zeit.de/2003/23/Sport_2flandauer/komplettansicht | title = Onkel Kurt und die Bayern | language = de | publisher = Zeit Online | date = 28 May 2003 | accessdate = 16 October 2014}}</ref> Bayern was also affected by the ruling that football players had to be full amateurs again. 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 | language = German | publisher = Die Werkstatt | year = 2003 | pages = 101–2 | isbn = 3-89533-426-X}}</ref>
After the war, 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 as inventor of Bayern as a professional club and his memory is e.g. being upheld by the Bayern [[ultra]]s ''Schickeria''.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.br.de/fernsehen/bayerisches-fernsehen/sendungen/kurt-landauer-der-film/index.html | title = Kurt Landauer: Der Mann, der den FC Bayern erfand | language = de | publisher = [[Bayerischer Rundfunk]] | accessdate = 16 October 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/fc-bayern-muenchen-schickeria-ultras-erhalten-julius-hirsch-preis-a-997151.html | title = DFB-Auszeichnung: Bayern-Ultras erhalten Julius-Hirsch-Preis | language = de | publisher = Spiegel Online | date = 14 October 2014 | accessdate = 16 October 2014}}</ref> In 1955 they were 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.

Manufacturer Roland Endler provided the necessary funds and was rewarded with four years at the helm of the club.<ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters | language = German | publisher = Die Werkstatt | year = 2003 | pages = 120–126 | isbn = 3-89533-426-X}}</ref> In 1963, the Oberligas in Germany were consolidated into one national league, the [[Bundesliga]]. Five teams from the Oberliga South were admitted. Bayern finished third in that year's southern division, but another Munich team, [[TSV 1860 München]], had won the championship. As the DFB preferred not to include two teams from one city, Bayern was not chosen for the Bundesliga.<ref name="nobl"/> They gained promotion two years later, fielding a team with young talents like [[Franz Beckenbauer]], [[Gerd Müller]], and [[Sepp Maier]] — who would later be collectively referred to as ''the axis''.<ref name = "bayernhistory4667" />
===Golden years (1965–79)===
[[File:Bundesarchiv B 145 Bild-F025342-0009, Bonn, Landesvertretung Bayern, Fußballmanschaft.jpg|thumb|left|[[Sepp Maier]], [[Franz Beckenbauer]], and [[Gerd Müller]] helped Bayern Munich win the [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] three times in a row in [[1973–74 European Cup|1974]], [[1974–75 European Cup|1975]], and [[1975–76 European Cup|1976]] and many other trophies.]]
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 a dramatic [[1967 European Cup Winners' Cup Final|final]] against Scottish club [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]], when [[Franz Roth]] scored 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 four German clubs to win the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal in the same season along with [[Borussia Dortmund]], [[1. FC Köln]], and [[SV Werder Bremen]]. Zebec used only 13 players throughout [[1968–69 FC Bayern Munich season|the season]].<ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters | language = German | publisher = Die Werkstatt | year = 2003 | pages = 155–158 | isbn = 3-89533-426-X}}</ref>
[[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 [[Olympic Stadium Munich|Olympiastadion]], and was also the first live televised match in Bundesliga history. Bayern beat Schalke 5–1 and thus claimed the title, also setting several records, including points gained and goals scored.<ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters | language = German | publisher = Die Werkstatt | year = 2003 | pages = 165–171 | isbn = 3-89533-426-X}}</ref> Bayern also won the next two championships, but the zenith was their triumph in the [[1974 European Cup Final]] against [[Atlético Madrid]], which Bayern won 4–0 after a replay.<ref name = "bayernhistory6876">{{cite web | title = 1966 bis 1979: Goldene Jahre | trans_title = 1966 to 1979: Golden Years | publisher = FC Bayern Erlebniswelt | accessdate = 28 September 2014 | url = http://fcb-erlebniswelt.de/de/historie/meilensteine-ab-1900/1966-1979/index.php | language = de}}</ref> This title – after winning the Cup Winners' trophy 1967 and two semi-finals ([[1967–68 European Cup Winners' Cup|1968]] and [[1971–72 European Cup Winners' Cup|1972]]) in that competition – marked the club's breakthrough as a force on the international stage. During the following years, the team was unsuccessful domestically but defended their European title by defeating [[Leeds United A.F.C.|Leeds United]] in the [[1975 European Cup Final]] when Roth and Müller secured victory with late goals. "We came back into the game and scored two lucky goals, so in the end we were the winners but we were very, very lucky", stated Franz Beckenbauer. [[Billy Bremner]] believed the French referee was "very suspicious." Leeds fans then rioted in Paris and were banned from European Football for three years.<ref name = "Unlucky match for Leeds">{{cite news | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/special_report/1999/05/99/uniteds_euro_showdown/347144.stm | title = Unlucky Paris match for Leeds | date = 19 May 1999 |work=BBC Sport | publisher = British Broadcasting Corporation | accessdate =29 March 2012}}</ref> A year later in [[Glasgow]], [[AS Saint-Étienne]] were [[1976 European Cup Final|defeated]] by another Roth goal and Bayern became the third club to win the trophy in three consecutive years. The final trophy won by Bayern in this era was the [[Intercontinental Cup (football)|Intercontinental Cup]], in which they defeated Brazilian club [[Cruzeiro Esporte Clube|Cruzeiro]] over two legs.<ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern.

In 1977, Franz Beckenbauer left for [[New York Cosmos (1971–1985)|New York Cosmos]] and, in 1979, Sepp Maier and [[Uli Hoeneß]] retired while Gerd Müller joined the [[Fort Lauderdale Strikers (NASL)|Fort Lauderdale Strikers]].<ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern.

===From FC Breitnigge to FC Hollywood (1979–98)===
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]]. However, European success was elusive during the decade; Bayern managed to claim the runners-up spot in the European Cup in [[1981–82 European Cup|1982]] and [[1986–87 European Cup|1987]].<ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters | language = German | publisher = Die Werkstatt | year = 2003 | pages = 226–267 | isbn = 3-89533-426-X}}</ref>
[[Jupp Heynckes]] was hired as coach in 1987, but after two consecutive championships in [[1988–89 Bundesliga|1988–89]] and [[1989–90 Bundesliga|1989–90]] Bayern's form dipped. After a second place in [[1990–91 Bundesliga|1990–91]] the club finished just five points above the relegation places in [[1991–92 Bundesliga|1991–92]]. In the season of [[1993–94 FC Bayern Munich season|1993–94]], Bayern lost out in the [[1993–94 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup]] second round to the [[Premier League]] team [[Norwich City F.C.|Norwich City]], who remain the only English football club to beat them at the Olympiastadion. Success returned when Franz Beckenbauer took over for the second half of the 1993–94 season, winning the [[1993–94 Bundesliga|championship]] again after a four-year gap. Beckenbauer was then appointed club president.<ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern.

After his success at [[Borussia Dortmund]], Bayern were coached by [[Ottmar Hitzfeld]] from 1998 to 2004. In Hitzfeld's [[1998–99 FC Bayern Munich season|first season]], Bayern won the [[1998–99 Bundesliga|Bundesliga]] and came close to winning the [[1998–99 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]], losing 2–1 to [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] in injury time after leading for most of the [[1999 UEFA Champions League Final|match]]. The following year, in [[1999–2000 FC Bayern Munich season|the club's centenary season]], Bayern won the third [[1999–2000 Bundesliga|league]] and [[1999–2000 DFB-Pokal|cup]] [[Double (association football)|double]] in its history. A third consecutive [[2000–01 Bundesliga|Bundesliga]] title followed in [[2000–01 FC Bayern Munich season|2001]], won with a stoppage time goal on the final day of the league season.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/news/2001/05/19/german_roundup/|title=Bayern wins Bundesliga, eyes Champions League|date=19 May 2001|accessdate=28 November 2013|work=Sports Illustrated}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sport1.de/de/fussball/fussball_bundesliga/artikel_104971.html|title=Vier Minuten im Mai|language=German|date=12 May 2009 | accessdate=28 November 2013|work=Sport1}}</ref> Days later, Bayern won the [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] for the fourth time after a 25-year gap, defeating [[Valencia CF]] on [[Penalty shootout (association football)|penalties]].

[[Felix Magath]] took over and led Bayern to two consecutive [[Double (association football)|doubles]]. Prior to the start of the [[2005–06 Bundesliga|2005–06]] season, Bayern moved from the Olympiastadion to the new [[Allianz Arena]], which the club shares with [[TSV 1860 München]]. On the field their performance in [[2006–07 Bundesliga|2006–07]] was erratic.

Hitzfeld returned as trainer in January 2007, but Bayern finished the [[2006–07 Bundesliga|2006–07]] season fourth, thus failing to qualify for the [[2007–08 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] for the first time in more than a decade. Additional losses in the [[2006–07 DFB-Pokal|DFB-Pokal]] and the [[2007 DFB-Ligapokal|DFB-Ligapokal]] left the club with no honours for the season.
For the [[2007–08 FC Bayern Munich season|2007–08]] season, Bayern made drastic squad changes to help rebuild. They signed a total of eight new players and sold, released or loaned out nine of their players.<ref>Bayern Magazin: 1/59, pages: 16–21, 11 August 2007 (in German)</ref> Among new signings were [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]] stars such as [[Franck Ribéry]], [[Miroslav Klose]] and [[Luca Toni]].

==Colours==
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 was 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 [[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. From 1974 onwards, Bayern have 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"/> Bayern also wore a ''[[Burgundy (colour)|Rotwein]]'' coloured home kits in Bundesliga matches between 2001 and 2003, and during the [[2006–07 UEFA Champions League|2006–07 Champions League]] campaign, in reference to their first choice colours prior to the late 1960s.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.stickerfreak.de/FC%20Bayern%20Seiten/Trikot%20Historie%20FCB.html|title= Die vollständige Trikot-Historie des FC Bayern München|accessdate=12 May 2014|language=German|work=stickerfreak}}</ref>
The club's away kit has had a wide range of colours over the years, 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 have 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|title=Beer-ern Munich: European Champs Get Oktoberfest Uniforms|url=http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/bayern-munich-stars-to-wear-lederhosen-inspired-shirts-a-919856.html|date=2 September 2013|accessdate=10 May 2014|work=Der Spiegel}}</ref>
In the 1980s and 1990s, Bayern used a special away kit when playing at [[1. FC Kaiserslautern]], representing the [[Brazil national football team|Brazilian]] colours blue and yellow, a [[superstition]] borne from the fact that the club found it hard to win there.<ref>[http://www.weltfussball.de/teams/bayern-muenchen/1-fc-kaiserslautern/11/ 1.

==Crest==
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 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 (2008) 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

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, the stadium betraying its track and field heritage.

[[File:Allianz arena at night Richard Bartz.jpg|thumb|For Bayern home games, the [[Allianz Arena]] is lit in red.]]
After much discussion, the city of Munich, the state of [[Bavaria]], FC Bayern, and [[TSV 1860 Munich|TSV 1860]] 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.

Bayern is one of three professional football clubs in [[Munich]]. Bayern's main local rival is [[TSV 1860 München]], who were the more successful club in the 1960s, winning a cup and a championship. In the 1970s and 1980s, TSV 1860 moved between the first and the third division, but lately have settled in the [[2. Bundesliga|second division]]. The [[Munich derby]] is still a much anticipated event, getting a lot of extra attention from supporters of both clubs.<ref>Bayern Magazin: Sonderheft DFB-Pokal, 27 February 2008 (in German)</ref> 1860 is considered more working-class, and therefore suffers from a diminishing fan base in a city where the manufacturing sector is declining.{{citation needed|date=January 2013}} Bayern is considered the establishment club,<ref name="tsv1860">{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern.

Despite the number of duels, Bayern and Real have never met in the final of a Champions League or European Cup. The two teams met in the [[2011–12 UEFA Champions League knockout phase|2011–12 Champions League semi-finals]] which resulted in 3–3 on aggregate, forcing extra time and penalties.

Bayern is an exception in professional, international football, having generated profits in nine of the last ten seasons. Other clubs often report losses, realizing transfers via loans, whereas Bayern always uses [[current assets]]. Also Bayern differs from other European top clubs in their income composition. While other clubs derive more than 35% of their revenues from broadcasting right, Bayern earn only 22% of their revenues that way.<ref>{{cite web | title = FC Bayern AG – Bayerischer Superclub (1/3) | publisher = offensivgeist.de | date = 7 December 2012 | accessdate = 27 February 2013 | url = http://www.offensivgeist.de/fc-bayern-muenchen-ag-bayerischer-superclub/ | language = German}}</ref> This is often accounted for by Bayern not marketing their broadcasting right themselves.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} Instead the [[Deutsche Fußball Liga]] negotiates broadcasting rights for the whole Bundesliga.
In 2011–12, Bayern reported revenues of €373.4 million, marking the eighth consecutive time that Bayern has topped their previous record earnings.<ref name = "201112summary">{{cite web | title = A club in great shape | date = 16 November 2012 | accessdate = 30 January 2013 | publisher = FC Bayern Munich | url = http://www.fcbayern.telekom.de/en/news/news/2012/38202.php}}{{dead link|date=September 2014}}</ref> According to the 2013 edition of [[Deloitte]]'s annual [[Deloitte Football Money League|Football Money League]], Bayern was the fourth richest club in the world in 2012, generating revenues of €368.4 million.<ref>{{cite web |title = Deloitte Football Money League 2013 – Captains of Industry | url = http://www.deloitte.com/view/en_GB/uk/industries/sportsbusinessgroup/sports/football/deloitte-football-money-league/index.htm | publisher = Deloitte |year=2013 | accessdate = 30 January 2013}}</ref>

==Social engagement and charity==
Bayern has been involved with charitable ventures for a long time, helping other football clubs in financial disarray as well as ordinary people in misery. In the wake of the [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake|2004 Tsunami]] the "FC Bayern – Hilfe e.V." was founded, a foundation that aims to concentrate the social engagements of the club.<ref name = "fcbhilfe">{{cite web | title = FC Bayern Hilfe e.V. | publisher = FC Bayern Munich official website | accessdate =20 July 2009 | url = http://www.fcbayern.t-home.de/de/verein/ev/hilfe/index.php | language = German}}{{dead link|date=September 2014}}</ref> At its inception this venture was funded with €600,000, raised by officials and players of the club.<ref name = "hiflfeathofh">{{cite web | title = FC Bayern Hilfe e.V. | publisher = FC Bayern Fanclub Hofherrnweiler e.V. | accessdate =20 July 2009 | url = http://www.fcb-fanclub-hofherrnweiler.de/bayernhilfe.html | language = German}}</ref> The money was amongst other things used to build a school in Marathenkerny, [[Sri Lanka]]<ref name = "hiflfeathofh"/> and to rebuild the area of [[Trincomalee]], Sri Lanka. In April 2007 it was decided that the focus of the foundation would shift towards supporting people in need locally.<ref name = "fcbhilfe"/>
The club has also time and again shown to have a soft spot for clubs in financial disarray. Repeatedly the club has supported its local rival [[TSV 1860 München|1860 Munich]] with gratuitous friendlies, transfers at favourable rates, and direct money transfers.<ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern.

The players' quarters opened in 1990 and were reconstructed after the 2007–08 season on suggestions by the new coach, [[Jürgen Klinsmann]], who took inspiration from various major sports clubs.

===Coaches since 1963===
Bayern had 17 coaches since its promotion to the Bundesliga in 1965. [[Udo Lattek]], [[Giovanni Trapattoni]], [[Ottmar Hitzfeld]] and [[Jupp Heynckes]] served two terms as head coach. [[Franz Beckenbauer]] served one term as head coach and one as caretaker.<ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters | language = German | publisher = Die Werkstatt | year = 2003 | page = 595 | isbn = 3-89533-426-X}}</ref> Lattek was the club's most successful coach, having won six Bundeslige titles, two DFB Cups and the European Cup; following closely is Ottmar Hitzfeld, who won five Bundeslige titles, two DFB cups and the Champions League. 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.
The present manager, since July 2013, is [[Josep Guardiola]], Barcelona's former coach.

==History==
{{main|History of FC Bayern Munich}}
===Early years (1900–65)===
[[File:Fcn-fcb1901.jpg|thumb|right|The first game of FC Bayern Munich against [[1. FC Nürnberg|Nürnberg]] in 1901]]
FC 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 FC Nordstern,<ref>{{cite news|title=Bayern fans bring club's earliest years to light|url=http://www.thelocal.de/20150522/fc-bayern-fans-early-history-rediscovered|accessdate=30 May 2015|publisher=The Local|date=22 May 2015}}</ref> and reached the semifinals 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. They won this league in its first year, but did not win it again until the beginning of World War I in 1914, which halted all football activities in Germany.<ref name = "bayernhistory0045"/><ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters | language = German | publisher = Die Werkstatt | year = 2003 | pages = 30–40 | isbn = 3-89533-426-X}}</ref>
In the years after the war, Bayern won several regional competitions, before winning their 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. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters | language = German | publisher = Die Werkstatt | year = 2003 | pages = 51–63 | isbn = 3-89533-426-X}}</ref>
Their first national title was gained in [[German football championship 1932|1932]], when coach [[Richard Kohn|Richard "Little Dombi" Kohn]] led the team to the [[German champions (football)|German championship]] by defeating [[Eintracht Frankfurt]] 2–0 in the final.<ref name = "bayernhistory0045" />
The advent of [[Nazism]] put an abrupt end to Bayern's development. The 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 "Jew's club", while local rival [[1860 München]] gained much support. Josef Sauter, who was inaugurated 1943, was the only NSDAP member as president. As some Bayern players greeted Landauer, who was watching a friendly in Switzerland lead to continued discrimination.<ref name="landauer">{{cite web | url = http://www.zeit.de/2003/23/Sport_2flandauer/komplettansicht | title = Onkel Kurt und die Bayern | language = de | publisher = Zeit Online | date = 28 May 2003 | accessdate = 16 October 2014}}</ref> Bayern was also affected by the ruling that football players had to be full amateurs again. 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 | language = German | publisher = Die Werkstatt | year = 2003 | pages = 101–2 | isbn = 3-89533-426-X}}</ref>
After the war, 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 as inventor of Bayern as a professional club and his memory is e.g. being upheld by the Bayern [[ultra]]s ''Schickeria''.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.br.de/fernsehen/bayerisches-fernsehen/sendungen/kurt-landauer-der-film/index.html | title = Kurt Landauer: Der Mann, der den FC Bayern erfand | language = de | publisher = [[Bayerischer Rundfunk]] | accessdate = 16 October 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/fc-bayern-muenchen-schickeria-ultras-erhalten-julius-hirsch-preis-a-997151.html | title = DFB-Auszeichnung: Bayern-Ultras erhalten Julius-Hirsch-Preis | language = de | publisher = Spiegel Online | date = 14 October 2014 | accessdate = 16 October 2014}}</ref> In 1955 they were 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.

Five teams from the Oberliga South were admitted. Bayern finished third in that year's southern division, but another Munich team, [[TSV 1860 München]], had won the championship.

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 a dramatic [[1967 European Cup Winners' Cup Final|final]] against Scottish club [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]], when [[Franz Roth]] scored 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 four German clubs to win the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal in the same season along with [[Borussia Dortmund]], [[1. FC Köln]], and [[SV Werder Bremen]].

===From FC Breitnigge to FC Hollywood (1979–98)===
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]]. However, European success was elusive during the decade; Bayern managed to claim the runners-up spot in the European Cup in [[1981–82 European Cup|1982]] and [[1986–87 European Cup|1987]].<ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern.

[[Jupp Heynckes]] was hired as coach in 1987, but after two consecutive championships in [[1988–89 Bundesliga|1988–89]] and [[1989–90 Bundesliga|1989–90]] Bayern's form dipped. After a second place in [[1990–91 Bundesliga|1990–91]] the club finished just five points above the relegation places in [[1991–92 Bundesliga|1991–92]]. In the season of [[1993–94 FC Bayern Munich season|1993–94]], Bayern lost out in the [[1993–94 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup]] second round to the [[Premier League]] team [[Norwich City F.C.|Norwich City]], who remain the only English football club to beat them at the Olympiastadion.

After his success at [[Borussia Dortmund]], Bayern were coached by [[Ottmar Hitzfeld]] from 1998 to 2004. In Hitzfeld's [[1998–99 FC Bayern Munich season|first season]], Bayern won the [[1998–99 Bundesliga|Bundesliga]] and came close to winning the [[1998–99 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]], losing 2–1 to [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] in injury time after leading for most of the [[1999 UEFA Champions League Final|match]]. The following year, in [[1999–2000 FC Bayern Munich season|the club's centenary season]], Bayern won the third [[1999–2000 Bundesliga|league]] and [[1999–2000 DFB-Pokal|cup]] [[Double (association football)|double]] in its history.

[[Felix Magath]] took over and led Bayern to two consecutive [[Double (association football)|doubles]]. Prior to the start of the [[2005–06 Bundesliga|2005–06]] season, Bayern moved from the Olympiastadion to the new [[Allianz Arena]], which the club shares with [[TSV 1860 München]]. On the field their performance in [[2006–07 Bundesliga|2006–07]] was erratic.

==Colours==
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 was 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 [[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. From 1974 onwards, Bayern have 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"/> Bayern also wore a ''[[Burgundy (colour)|Rotwein]]'' coloured home kits in Bundesliga matches between 2001 and 2003, and during the [[2006–07 UEFA Champions League|2006–07 Champions League]] campaign, in reference to their first choice colours prior to the late 1960s.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.stickerfreak.de/FC%20Bayern%20Seiten/Trikot%20Historie%20FCB.html|title= Die vollständige Trikot-Historie des FC Bayern München|accessdate=12 May 2014|language=German|work=stickerfreak}}</ref>
The club's away kit has had a wide range of colours over the years, 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 have 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|title=Beer-ern Munich: European Champs Get Oktoberfest Uniforms|url=http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/bayern-munich-stars-to-wear-lederhosen-inspired-shirts-a-919856.html|date=2 September 2013|accessdate=10 May 2014|work=Der Spiegel}}</ref>
In the 1980s and 1990s, Bayern used a special away kit when playing at [[1. FC Kaiserslautern]], representing the [[Brazil national football team|Brazilian]] colours blue and yellow, a [[superstition]] borne from the fact that the club found it hard to win there.<ref>[http://www.weltfussball.de/teams/bayern-muenchen/1-fc-kaiserslautern/11/ 1.

==Crest==
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 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 (2008) 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

Bayern is one of three professional football clubs in [[Munich]]. Bayern's main local rival is [[TSV 1860 München]], who were the more successful club in the 1960s, winning a cup and a championship. In the 1970s and 1980s, TSV 1860 moved between the first and the third division, but lately have settled in the [[2. Bundesliga|second division]]. The [[Munich derby]] is still a much anticipated event, getting a lot of extra attention from supporters of both clubs.<ref>Bayern Magazin: Sonderheft DFB-Pokal, 27 February 2008 (in German)</ref> 1860 is considered more working-class, and therefore suffers from a diminishing fan base in a city where the manufacturing sector is declining.{{citation needed|date=January 2013}} Bayern is considered the establishment club,<ref name="tsv1860">{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern.

==Social engagement and charity==
Bayern has been involved with charitable ventures for a long time, helping other football clubs in financial disarray as well as ordinary people in misery. In the wake of the [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake|2004 Tsunami]] the "FC Bayern – Hilfe e.V." was founded, a foundation that aims to concentrate the social engagements of the club.<ref name = "fcbhilfe">{{cite web | title = FC Bayern Hilfe e.V. | publisher = FC Bayern Munich official website | accessdate =20 July 2009 | url = http://www.fcbayern.t-home.de/de/verein/ev/hilfe/index.php | language = German}}{{dead link|date=September 2014}}</ref> At its inception this venture was funded with €600,000, raised by officials and players of the club.<ref name = "hiflfeathofh">{{cite web | title = FC Bayern Hilfe e.V. | publisher = FC Bayern Fanclub Hofherrnweiler e.V. | accessdate =20 July 2009 | url = http://www.fcb-fanclub-hofherrnweiler.de/bayernhilfe.html | language = German}}</ref> The money was amongst other things used to build a school in Marathenkerny, [[Sri Lanka]]<ref name = "hiflfeathofh"/> and to rebuild the area of [[Trincomalee]], Sri Lanka. In April 2007 it was decided that the focus of the foundation would shift towards supporting people in need locally.<ref name = "fcbhilfe"/>
The club has also time and again shown to have a soft spot for clubs in financial disarray. Repeatedly the club has supported its local rival [[TSV 1860 München|1860 Munich]] with gratuitous friendlies, transfers at favourable rates, and direct money transfers.<ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern.

The players' quarters opened in 1990 and were reconstructed after the 2007–08 season on suggestions by the new coach, [[Jürgen Klinsmann]], who took inspiration from various major sports clubs. The quarters are now called the performance centre and feature a weights and fitness area, a massage unit, dressing rooms, the coaches' office, and a conference room with screening facilities for video analysis. A café, a library, an [[e-Learning]] room, and a family room are also included.<ref name = "performancecentre"/>
Located at the headquarters is also the Youth academy, which houses up to 13 young talents from outside the city. While being part of Bayern's Junior Team they can work there on their development as footballers. Former residents of the Youth House include [[Owen Hargreaves]], [[Michael Rensing]], and [[Bastian Schweinsteiger]].<ref name = "youthacademy"/>

==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 eleven trophies. Bayern is one of only four clubs to have [[UEFA club competition records#List of teams to have won the three main European club competitions|won all three major European competitions]] and also the last club to have won the [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] three times in a row, entitling them to wear a [[UEFA badge of honour|multiple-winner badge]] during [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] matches.
<!-- This is supposed to list only 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 had 17 coaches since its promotion to the Bundesliga in 1965. [[Udo Lattek]], [[Giovanni Trapattoni]], [[Ottmar Hitzfeld]] and [[Jupp Heynckes]] served two terms as head coach. [[Franz Beckenbauer]] served one term as head coach and one as caretaker.<ref>{{cite book | last = Schulze-Marmeling | first = Dietrich | title = Die Bayern. Die Geschichte des deutschen Rekordmeisters | language = German | publisher = Die Werkstatt | year = 2003 | page = 595 | isbn = 3-89533-426-X}}</ref> Lattek was the club's most successful coach, having won six Bundeslige titles, two DFB Cups and the European Cup; following closely is Ottmar Hitzfeld, who won five Bundeslige titles, two DFB cups and the Champions League. 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.
The present manager, since July 2013, is [[Josep Guardiola]], Barcelona's former coach.
