To a successful milestone year 2025! You are the heart of FC Bayern

Dear FC Bayern fans!

A special year is in store for FC Bayern in 2025: on 27 February, we'll celebrate 125 years of our club's existence. This unique success story symbolises not least the fans' deep attachment to FC Bayern, it represents identity, cohesion, tradition – and it also means legacy and responsibility. Personalities such as Franz Beckenbauer, Uli Hoeneß, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Kurt Landauer set the guiding principles, and when you look back on such a past, you also look forward – with the aim of continuing to set standards, both in sport and beyond the pitch.

The 27th February 2025 is more than just a date for FC Bayern. This day stands for emotions that keep history alive. The founding fathers of this club were visionaries, they overcame opposition, they were united by a great passion for football – and much of that spirit from Café Gisela, where FC Bayern was founded, still surrounds us today. One hundred and twenty-five years full of passion, successes, milestones and unforgettable moments would never have been possible without you, the fans, the bedrock of FC Bayern. We emphasise this again and again: you are the heart of FC Bayern. Your voice in the stadium, your unconditional support, wherever you are, and your love for the club have made FC Bayern what it is today – a global family that stands for community, strength and a winning mentality, now with over 382,000 members.

Let us use this anniversary not just as a moment to look back, but as a reason to continue standing up for our values: for fairness, respect, passion as well as open-mindedness and tolerance – particularly in these times. For a history with which we identify, on and off the pitch. Many thanks to you fans who are always by FC Bayern's side. Mia san mia. FC Bayern has always been more than just a club – it is a promise. And every fan, every one of you, is a part of this unique story. That will also be the case in 2025.

We wish all of you and your loved ones a healthy, happy and peaceful 2025 – and here's to a successful new year at FC Bayern, together with you!

Herbert Hainer, president of FC Bayern
