Bayern Munich or FC Bayern (German: FC Bayern München) is a
German football club. Founded in 1900, it is based in Munich. It
used to play in the Olympiastadion München, but moved to a
new ground, Allianz Arena, in 2005. The club is the most famous
and successful in Germany and has a fan base of 103,144 members,
which makes it the biggest sport club in Germany. The club is also
one of only four to have won all three major European trophies.
Four Champions League trophies, including three successive wins
in a phenomenally successful era in the mid 1970s, are the particular
highlights of their massive success in Europe. As Bayern is the
country's most successful club, it is the inevitable subject of
intensive attention by the German media, and an object of envy and
outright resentment by supporters of other clubs. Its off-field
dramas in particular have led German media to dub the club FC Hollywood,
a nickname that has occasionally been used by football media in
the English-speaking world. Bayern Munich won its 19th German Championship
in the 2004/05 season, retaining its reputation as the very best
and most successful team in Germany.
