Grünwalder Stadion
Grünwalder Stadion

Städtisches Stadion an der Grünwalder Straße (also known as Grünwalder Stadion and Sechzger Stadion) is a football stadium in Munich, Germany. It was built in 1911 and was the home ground for 1860 Munich until 1995. Local rival Bayern Munich also played in the stadium from 1926 until 1972, when they moved to the new Olympiastadion. It is the home ground of the second teams and the U–19 teams of Bayern and 1860. As of the start of the 2013–14 Bundesliga season, FC Bayern Munich (women) also play their home matches at the ground. Since 1860 Munich was relegated from 2. Bundesliga (second tier) to Regionalliga Bayern (fourth tier) at the end of the 2016/2017 season, the senior team returned to the stadium and have played there ever since. For the 2018/19 season, 1860's first season back in the 3. Liga following promotion from the fourth tier Regionalliga Bayern, the stadium’s capacity was 15,000. 1860 regularly sell out home matches in what is regarded as the club’s spiritual home at ‘Sechszigerstadion’ and the stadium is easily accessible on public transport from Munich city centre. The stadium is known for its curved western terrace known as the Westkurve where currently 9,000 1860 fans stand creating an impressive atmosphere. Bayern Munich II also play at the stadium but only open the covered seated Nordtribune to home fans for matches. Following their promotion to the third tier for the 2019/20 3. Liga season, Bayern Munich II are now in the same league as 1860, leading to the first Munich city derbies in several years. In 2020, Türkgücü München announced they would become the third 3. Liga tenants to play at the stadium should they secure promotion which is likely to cause fixture congestion in the future. The largest crowd was 58,560 in 1948 at a game between 1860 Munich and 1. FC Nürnberg. The 15,000 capacity Grünwalder Stadion no longer meets the requirements for the 2. Bundesliga meaning that tenants may need to move to the Olympiastadion or another ground upon promotion from the 3. Liga. The Monty Python sketch The Philosophers' Football Match, though pretending to be in the Olympiastadion, was filmed in this stadium.

FC Bayern Munich

Fußball-Club Bayern München e. V. (FCB, pronounced [ˈfuːsbalˌklʊp ˈbaɪɐn ˈmʏnçn̩] (listen)), also known as FC Bayern (pronounced [ˌɛft͡seː ˈbaɪɐn] (listen)) or Bayern Munich, is a German professional sports club based in Munich, Bavaria. It is best known for its professional football team, which plays in the Bundesliga, the top tier of the German football league system. Bayern is the most successful club in German football history, having won a record 32 national titles, including 10 consecutively since 2013, and 20 national cups, along with numerous European honours. FC Bayern Munich was founded in 1900 by 11 football players, led by Franz John. Although Bayern won its first national championship in 1932, the club was not selected for the Bundesliga at its inception in 1963. The club had its period of greatest success in the mid-1970s when, under the captaincy of Franz Beckenbauer, it won the European Cup three consecutive times (1974–1976). Overall, Bayern have won six European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles (German record), winning their sixth title in the 2020 final as part of a seasonal treble, after which it became only the second European club to achieve the seasonal treble twice. Bayern has also won one UEFA Cup, one European Cup Winners' Cup, two UEFA Super Cups, two FIFA Club World Cups and two Intercontinental Cups, making it one of the most successful European clubs internationally and the only German club to have won both international titles. By winning the 2020 FIFA Club World Cup, Bayern Munich became only the second club to win the sextuple. Bayern Munich are one of five clubs to have won all three of UEFA's main club competitions, the only German club to achieve that. As of May 2022, Bayern Munich are ranked first in UEFA club rankings. The club has traditional local rivalries with 1860 Munich and 1. FC Nürnberg, as well as with Borussia Dortmund since the mid-1990s. Since the beginning of the 2005–06 season, Bayern has played its home games at the Allianz Arena. Previously the team had played at Munich's Olympiastadion for 33 years. The team colours are red and white, and the crest shows the white and blue flag of Bavaria. In terms of revenue, Bayern Munich is the largest sports club in Germany and the third highest-earning football club in the world, behind FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, with a value of €634.1 million in 2021. In November 2019, Bayern had 293,000 official members and 4,499 officially registered fan clubs with over 350,000 members. The club has other departments for chess, handball, basketball, gymnastics, bowling, table tennis and senior football with more than 1,100 active members.
