On Sunday, the record champions will discuss all of these topics and more with their members at the annual general meeting.
sport.de accompanies the AGM of FC Bayern at this point from 11 a.m. in the live blog.
+++ Backing for Tuchel +++
“Thomas, it’s absolutely understandable to vent your anger at times. We at the club all agree. These experts can take a real counterattack!”
+++ Cup exit not a crisis for Hainer +++
“I personally think that we were all able to learn a lot from Jamal Musiala. Not everything worked out the way we wanted last year – not even for Jamal. But he kept trying. And in the last minutes in Cologne he rewarded us all. History should make people aware: Not every defeat has to be declared a crisis. This also applies to a cup exit in Saarbrücken. As painful as it was.”

“Where will FC Bayern be in 2023? Where it belongs. At the top – sportingly, economically and socially. German champions eleven times in a row. We are working on a record there for eternity. Because only we can surpass ourselves. There is “There are few things more beautiful than a victory for FC Bayern. But one example is a victory for FC Bayern over Borussia Dortmund. Our goal for 2024 is clear, to become German champions for the twelfth time. This title would belong to you even more than usual,” Hainer says to the fans.
+++ Hainer starts with his report +++
The first item on the program is the speech by Hainer himself. The boss began by emphasizing the special position of FC Bayern, which always includes its fans.
“We don’t sit in an ivory tower. We want to continue to improve by communicating with you. At FC Bayern we have been writing the word dialogue in capital letters for a long time.” As an example, Hainer cites the members’ regulars’ table, which recently provided valuable inspiration.

+++ FC Bayern’s annual general meeting with potential for conflict? +++
In recent years, FC Bayern’s AGM has almost always been a busy event. Until recently, the topic of the controversial partnership with Qatar dominated the dialogue. The association has put these debates behind it; other topics could now come to the fore.
However, it is almost traditional for people to argue at Bayern’s annual general meeting. Uli Hoeneß’s performances were once legendary almost every year.
It will also be exciting to see who from the professional squad will be present and how the team will be received.
