**FC Bayern Munich** is a premier German sports organization, best known for its professional football team, which competes in the Bundesliga, Germany's top-tier league. Founded in 1900 in Munich, Bavaria, by a group led by Franz John, the club has evolved into the most successful football club in German history and a global sports powerhouse[7][3]. The club operates professionally through FC Bayern München AG, a joint-stock company majority-owned (75%) by the registered association FC Bayern München e.V. The remaining shares are held by major German corporations Adidas, Audi, and Allianz, each owning 8.33%, reflecting a strategic business model blending sports and corporate partnership. These partnerships have financed significant infrastructure projects, including the Allianz Arena, their home stadium with a 75,000-spectator capacity, known for its innovative facade featuring illuminated diamond-shaped panels[1][3][5]. Historically, Bayern Munich rose to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s, achieving unprecedented success under captain Franz Beckenbauer, including three consecutive European Cup victories from 1974 to 1976. Over the years, Bayern has amassed an impressive trophy cabinet: a record 30 Bundesliga titles, 20 national cups (DFB-Pokal), 6 UEFA Champions League titles (most recently in 2020), one UEFA Cup, and multiple international honors such as the FIFA Club World Cup and Intercontinental Cups. Notably, in 2013, Bayern became the first German club to secure the treble—winning the Bundesliga, DFB Cup, and Champions League in the same season[7][3][8]. Bayern Munich’s governance is notable for its leadership by former players and executives from top German corporations, including figures like Oliver Kahn (CEO), and supervisory board members from Adidas, Volkswagen, Allianz, and Deutsche Telekom, signaling a blend of sporting excellence with corporate governance expertise[1][
