FC Bayern acquires Sportpark Unterhaching

FC Bayern has acquired Sportpark Unterhaching, which will be owned by Allianz Arena Stadion GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of FC Bayern München AG, from 1 January 2026. Following the necessary infrastructure adjustments, Sportpark Unterhaching will be home to all FC Bayern Women's matches and training sessions, and from the 2026/2027 season onwards, FC Bayern Women's home matches in the Champions League will be played there. SpVgg Unterhaching's first team will also continue to play their home games at the Sportpark stadium, as before.

FC Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen: "The acquisition of Sportpark Unterhaching is another milestone in the overall development of our FC Bayern Women. The new sporting home of our women's team will meet UEFA requirements and also satisfy spectator demand in the future. In the medium term, Sportpark Unterhaching is to become the new home for the whole of FC Bayern women's football. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Unterhaching's mayor, Wolfgang Panzer, for our very positive and constructive discussions. My thanks also go to the president of SpVgg Unterhaching, Manfred Schwabl. Our clubs have been partners for a long time, and this spirit has also characterised the close communication over the past few weeks."

Mayor of Unterhaching Wolfgang Panzer: "Unterhaching has a long tradition as a sporting community. Our teams participate in national and international competitions, and we’ve produced medal winners and Olympic champions at the Olympic Games. Of course, sporting history has also been made at the Unterhaching stadium. I’m delighted that FC Bayern will now continue all these success stories with its women's teams. I know the whole of Unterhaching – especially grassroots sport – will benefit from these developments and this momentum. That’s another reason why we in the municipal council unanimously voted to entrust our Sportpark to FC Bayern. It’s in good hands there!"

President of SpVgg Unterhaching Manfred Schwabl: "Over the past weeks and months, we’ve had intensive discussions about how we want to shape our future at the Sportpark. Ultimately, in consultation with the municipality of Unterhaching and FC Bayern, we came to the conclusion that the best solution for SpVgg Unterhaching is to enter into a partnership with FC Bayern as the future owner of the stadium. This means we’ll retain our sporting home at the stadium in the Sportpark, and infrastructure measures will ensure it is fit for the future with the ever-growing demands of professional football. I’d like to express my sincere thanks to FC Bayern, led by Jan-Christian Dreesen, for our fair and constructive discussions. We’ve found a solution that is beneficial to all parties and marks another milestone in our partnership."

The stadium at Sportpark Unterhaching has a capacity of 15,000 spectators, of which more than 8,000 are seated. The entire Sportpark complex covers around 45,000 square metres and, alongside the stadium, includes three training pitches and a clubhouse including a restaurant and beer garden. In addition, there are two further plots of land to the north of the Sportpark with potential for further development.

Solutions for the future are being considered and worked out for the EC Parksee curling team, the Fortuna Unterhaching footballers and the Munich Ravens American football team, who have also used the Sportpark to date. Use of the pitch for the neighbouring Grund- und Mittelschule am Sportpark (Primary and Middle School at the Sportpark) (“Elite Football School”) has also been guaranteed.
