Fußball-Club Bayern München commonly known as FC Bayern München or FC Bayern Munich is a German professional soccer club in the beautiful city of Munich, Bavaria. FC Bayern is the most prominent club in Germany having won numerous National and European honours. In 1900 FCB was established by Franz John and other 11 football players, these were the members of a Munich gymnastics club (MTV 1879). 

The first major victory for Bayern Munich was a 15–0 win against FC Nordstern and reaching the semi-finals of the 1900–01 South German championship. The club won some local trophies and in 1910–11 Bayern joined the newly founded “Kreisliga”, the first regional Bavarian league. 

History Of Bayern Munich :

FC Bayern Munich won the league in its first year but did not win it again until the beginning of World War I in 1914, which halted all football activities in Germany. The rise of Adolf Hitler disrupted further development of FCB as Hitler was against Jews and FCB was known as a Jew Club. Club president Kurt Landauer and the coach, both of whom were Jewish, left the country. Many others in the club were also purged.

After World War II, football in Germany was played in five regional leagues, the top divisions of which were called Oberliga. Bayern played in the Oberliga Süd (“South”) and won the German Cup for the first time in 1957. Bundesliga was formed in 1963 as a West German National League, and Bayern quickly gained promotion to the league for the 1965–66 season. 

FC Bayern Munich won DFB-Pokal in their first season and finished third in Bundesliga which helped them qualify for the European Winners Cup. Followed by two more titles in 1973 and 1974 and the European Cup in 1974 against a strong Atletico Madrid.

Germany won the World Cup in 1974 and 6 Bayern players. (Maier, Franz Beckenbauer, Schwarzenbeck, Paul Breitner, Hoeneß, and Müller) were in the winning team sheet, due to this FC Bayern become one of the most influential and popular team for Germans.

Bayern Munich was enjoying great success in Bundesliga also won many European competitions with legendary players like Müller and Roth. Bayern Munich enjoyed a hat-trick of European Cups from (1974 – 1976). 

After the 2006 World Cup FC Bayern Munich signed Robben and Ribery, together they shaped the attacking style of Bayern Munich for a total of ten years. Robben and Ribery were named as ‘Robbery’ by fans.  

Bayern Munich needed a replacement for Oliver Kahn and they got their replacement in the form of Manuel Neuer, Since then the club has won every title they had their eyes on.
