What people sing

  • Stern des Südens

    The club anthem, sung before kickoff. You do not need German to join in the chorus once you have heard it twice.

  • FC Bayern, forever number one

    A terrace favourite that states the club's self-image without irony.

Who the rivals are

  • Borussia Dortmund

    The fixture German television sells as the biggest domestic clash. Competitive, and sharpened by players moving from Dortmund to Munich.

  • 1860 Munich

    The city rival, now usually in a lower division, but still the local argument.

Following them from America

Large and organised, helped by years of success and by American players who have passed through the club.
