Performance complex at Campus also for junior footballers

The future begins now: FC Bayern München eV has applied to the city for permission for the construction of a basketball performance centre at the FC Bayern Campus. President Herbert Hainer recently confirmed the plans for a new headquarters for the FCBB’s basketball organisation, which have been in the works for years. With this groundbreaking project, the seven-time German champions aim to bring their sporting infrastructure up to the highest international standards and further expand their youth development programmes. The complex is also designed to include shared spaces that will be used by FCB footballers from the Campus.

The modern training centre is set to become the home of all FC Bayern Basketball teams in the future: from the EuroLeague team to the second team (ProB South) and the youth teams, with a competition arena to be integrated for the young talents. The entire office will also move from BMW Park to the Campus grounds. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2027, and the project is expected to take about two years to complete.

FC Bayern München eV is the developer of the new training centre and the club is also the sole shareholder of FC Bayern München Basketball GmbH. The project is being carried out by SHA Scheffler Helbich Architekten GmbH; the Dortmund-based firm won the architectural competition and has extensive experience in sports infrastructure projects.

Since returning to the Bundesliga in 2011, the FCBB pros have been playing and training at the basketball arena in Munich’s Westpark – now known as BMW Park – which opened in 1972 for the Summer Olympics. The club’s steadily growing administrative offices have also been housed there ever since. Even after the team moves into the planned training centre on the campus grounds, BMW Park is set to remain an attractive venue for games and events. The arena has been successfully operated and marketed by the tenant, FCBB, for several years.
