In his role as CEO of FC Bayern, Jan-Christian Dreesen paid an official visit to Bavarian Minister-President Dr Markus Söder. The two men spoke for 45 minutes, primarily on the subjects of sport and FC Bayern. Both Dreesen and Söder are in favour of dialogue and short lines of communication. They've known each other since Dreesen joined the German record champions' board 10 years ago. As a sign of continuing to look ahead in the future, the CEO presented the Minister-President with FC Bayern's new home shirt.
Dreesen: "First I'd like to thank Dr Markus Söder for the warm reception at the State Chancellery. The Minister-President is very well informed and interested in all our issues - especially in squad planning. Having a dialogue with the Bavarian state government is important for us on many levels, just because of our location alone. FC Bayern and the Free State are inextricably linked."
Söder: "FC Bayern is simply a flagship for the Free State around the world. Thank you for the visit to the State Chancellery and the interesting exchange. I wish you success for the new role as CEO!"
Dreesen's visit to the State Chancellery was the first by an FC Bayern representative since the "Rollwagerl eV" fan club was honoured for its 30-year existence in spring.
