Everything indicates that Max Eberl's contract at FC Bayern will be extended beyond 2027. The supervisory board is happy with Eberl's work overall, despite some slight points of criticism such as the expensive contract extensions. There will be two supervisory board meetings later this year, one in August and one in November - the final decision will be made by then. - Sport Bild's Tobi Altschaffl and Christian Falk as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia
As the final whistle sounded in the freezing Allianz Arena early on Saturday evening, it left some people wondering how this happened - and when, indeed, this did last happen. Parting ways at 2-1 (1-0) against FC Augsburg, Saturday's match marked FC Bayern's first Bundesliga defeat of the season on matchday 19. Their last defeat at home had been on 8 th March 2025.
The smell of coffee, homemade cake and a hint of clubhouse fills the air. Outside, Altomünster is as quiet as it is every other Sunday, with just a few cars being parked, quiet voices behind a door and the clink of a cup somewhere. Inside, however, there's something special in the air: conversations soften, eyes wander towards the door, someone glances at their watch. Everyone is waiting.
Attention, fans! FC Bayern will hold an open training session at Säbener Straße this week. On Thursday 8 January, from 13:30 CET, supporters of the German record champions can watch coach Vincent Kompany 's side at work up close.
Back to work! Thirteen days after the final match of 2025, head coach Vincent Kompany welcomed the FC Bayern players back to Säbener Straße on Saturday for the first team training session of the new year. Sunshine and snow made it a winter wonderland in Munich, as Harry Kane and Co gathered on the pitch in thick layers but in good spirits.
We've been thinking about it since the end of the 2024 summer transfer window to be prepared for all scenarios. As you know, in addition to squad planning, my responsibilities included reducing the salary level. Therefore, we initially focused on 'internal transfers' which are contract extensions and youth players - and only then on external players, players we want to sign,
Bayern Munch president Herbert Hainer embraces the club history, but is also eager to see it pave its way into the future - with fans by its side. "FC Bayern is a club that values dialogue - something we've been putting into practice for many years, not least through our numerous member engagement activities. My personal highlight in this regard was the revival of our promotion walk around Lake Tegernsee in the summer, 60 years after our promotion to the Bundesliga,"
It was a personal matter for him to "be here today - the Montagskickers represent the spirit of togetherness at FC Bayern, which has also been lived off the pitch for decades," was Hainer's conclusion after the celebration with 55 guests at the Allianz Arena. Moderated by long-time FCB media director Markus Hörwick (also a member), the Moki president and FCB honorary council member Reinhard Böker presented the honours to the jubilarians together with Hainer.
It's been an eventful, exciting and special year, at the end of which we have well over 430,000 members, which says a lot about how much is being done right in this club, both on and off the pitch. On behalf of the club, I would like to thank all members and fans for their support and loyalty. Together, we can look back on an anniversary year with plenty of reasons to celebrate,
We're delighted to give the fans this special Christmas present - the extension with Magda and Pernille is a statement for FC Bayern. Both are real role models with their professionalism every day. Magda takes responsibility, leads the team and communicates openly, while Pernille impresses as more of a quiet leader. Their decision to continue with us shows their desire to keep writing the success story here at FC Bayern.
We are deeply saddened by this news - Peter Kupferschmidt is one of the personalities who is inextricably linked to the FC Bayern generation on which all of our successes to date are built. The promotion in 1965 was the foundation for everything. I spoke to him myself just this week at our Monday footballers' Christmas party, and we will all remember him fondly forever. Peter Kupferschmidt is an integral part of our club's history. Anyone who hears his name will always remember how FC Bayern began to become the club it is today. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and loved ones.

With the launch of a new partnership between FC Bayern and the Bavarian Football Association (BFV), graduates of jointly developed courses will in future receive not only the club's internal training qualification but also the official UEFA C and B licences, which are otherwise awarded and assessed exclusively by the regional associations. The German champions have been heavily involved in international coach training since 2016
Pernille Harder continues to set the benchmark in Danish football by being named the country's Player of the Year for a record ninth time in 2025. The forward received her award on Sunday ahead of FC Bayern Women's Bundesliga game against Hamburg at the FC Bayern Campus. The 33-year-old helped Bayern to a first-ever domestic double in 2024/25 and also won the Supercup
Sport Bild: Have you ever thought that Florian Wirtz might have been better off at FC Bayern? Eberl: "We made it clear in all our discussions that we would have loved to have him at FC Bayern and that he would have been a great fit for us. Florian then chose Liverpool. I wish him all the best in representing German football in the Premier League."
FC Bayern hosted Sporting Lisbon in their final Champions League fixture of the year on Tuesday evening. The teams produced an intensive and hard-fought contest at the Allianz Arena, with FCB initially falling behind before running out deserved 3-1 winners. To crown an emotional evening, Alphonso Davies made his comeback from the cruciate ligament tear he suffered in March. You can watch the key moments of the game in our free highlights.
Bayern lined up with Manuel Neuer in goal and Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, Tah and Josip Stanišić in defence. Aleksandar Pavlović and Kimmich anchored a midfield featuring Michael Olise, Karl and Gnabry, with Harry Kane up front. Raphaël Guerreiro, Hiroki Ito, Leon Goretzka, comeback kid Alphonso Davies and Nicolas Jackson took over from Karl, Stanišić, Pavlović, Gnabry and Kane late in the second half.
On the way to what will hopefully be their first cup triumph since 2020 (4-2 in the final against Bayer 04 Leverkusen), FC Bayern overcame the difficult hurdle at the Alte Försterei on Wednesday evening and defeated Union Berlin 3-2. In the process, FCB scored at least three times in their fifth consecutive away match in the DFB Cup - a club record (previously only equalled in 2015-2017 and 1998-2000). This is the first time the record cup winners have reached the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup since 2022/23.
To mark International Day for Persons with Disabilities, FC Bayern would once again like to raise awareness of integration and at the same time encourage those affected to play an active role in our society. Around 15 per cent of the world's population live with a disability. Let us all help to include them. Our club fosters self-determined and equal participation with various projects. It's not only in sport that it's crucial to practise togetherness.
It was a tough match, we had to fight for a long time, but that shows the team's morale and that they believe in themselves and can turn things around in the end. We had a tough game against Arsenal on Wednesday, which showed of course. But I'm really glad we won and that the team didn't give up until the end.
