Who owns Bayern Munich?
Unlike many English clubs, Bayern Munich is majority-owned by its fans through a unique '50+1 rule' in German football. This means the club's members hold at least 50% of the voting shares plus one additional share, preventing external investors from taking full control. This structure aims to keep clubs rooted in their communities.
