Bayern Nears €7.5 Million Purchase of Unterhaching Stadium for Women’s Team

Local leaders hail Bayern as a capable owner, with renovation details still pending.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the deal for Sportpark Unterhaching is described as nearly finalized at about €7.5 million.
  • Bayern targets the venue to host its women’s matches, moving from the 2,500-seat campus to a roughly 15,000-capacity ground suitable for Champions League requirements.
  • SpVgg Unterhaching allowed its right of first refusal to expire, citing unaffordable upgrade and operating costs.
  • Necessary investments cited include improved floodlighting, compliance with police requirements, and pitch heating, which would fall to the new owner.
  • The stadium is expected to remain a shared facility for Bayern’s women, SpVgg Unterhaching, and the Munich Ravens, even as some local supporters voice opposition to the sale.
