Unterhaching Council Approves Sale of Sportpark to Bayern’s Stadium Company

The unanimous vote reflects the town’s push to shed looming renovation costs at the aging venue.

Overview

  • A notary appointment is reported for Tuesday, December 16, with Allianz Arena München Stadion GmbH slated to assume control on January 1, 2026.
  • Bayern intends to stage its women’s matches at the approximately 15,000-seat Sportpark because the FCB-Campus holds about 2,500 and falls short for league and UEFA fixtures.
  • Reports say the net purchase price of €7.56 million was reduced by €250,000 over east-stand issues, and future building rights on the Stockschützengelände could trigger additional payments to the municipality.
  • The Stockschützenhalle behind the north stand is planned for demolition to make room for a Bayern administration building, subject to approvals and a timetable yet to be set.
  • SpVgg Unterhaching is expected to remain a tenant under Bayern’s stadium company, while supporter groups protest the sale; plans also include Bayern financing a new artificial-turf pitch for Fortuna on municipal land.
