The vote capped a meeting that underscored stability across sporting leadership.

Overview

  • Members returned Herbert Hainer for a further three-year term with 93.5% support at the BMW Park meeting.
  • Bayern reported 432,500 members, a new club record that maintains its position as the world's largest sports club by membership.
  • Hainer praised head coach Vincent Kompany, whose deal runs to 2029, and a video message from the coach was played as the team prepared for Paris Saint‑Germain.
  • Sporting leaders Max Eberl and Christoph Freund drew prolonged applause from members, and Hainer publicly urged Dayot Upamecano to extend his contract.
  • Member interventions referenced the Emirates sponsorship and the cancelled Jérôme Boateng hospitanz, though these issues did not dominate proceedings.
