December 21 – German giants FC Bayern München’s decision to acquire and operate Sportpark Unterhaching is moving ahead at pace with Allianz Arena München Stadion GmbH set to take over the running of the facility at the start of next year.
It is a sign of the progression of development of the game in Germany and in particular infrastructure around the women’s game. Sportpark Unterhaching will be the new home of Bayern’s women’s and girls’ programmes.
Women’s football in the country is growing fast, in crowds, visibility, and in ambition, and Bayern, as always, is positioning itself to lead rather than follow. The club plans a series of upgrades as it turns Unterhaching into the full-time training and matchday base for FC Bayern Women.
Starting in the 2026/27 season, the 15,000 capacity stadium will also host the club’s UEFA Women’s Champions League home matches.
FC Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dressen said, “The acquisition of Sportpark Unterhaching is another milestone in the overall development of our FC Bayern Women. The new sporting home of our women’s team will meet UEFA requirements and also satisfy spectator demand in the future. In the medium term, Sportpark Unterhaching is to become the new home for the whole of FC Bayern women’s football.
“I would like to express my sincere thanks to Unterhaching’s mayor, Wolfgang Panzer, for our very positive and constructive discussions. My thanks also go to the president of SpVgg Unterhaching, Manfred Schwabl. Our clubs have been partners for a long time, and this spirit has also characterised the close communication over the past few weeks.”
