MUNICH, Germany, Nov 2, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Bayern Munich on Sunday announced a 
new record annual turnover of 978.3 million euros ($1.13 billion), while re-
electing president Herbert Hainer for a third three-year term.

The announcements came at Bayern's AGM on Sunday, with the club's revenue for 
the 2024-25 season 2.8 percent higher than that in the previous campaign.

The club generated a profit of 27.1 million euros, down from 43.1 million 
euros in 2023-24 and 35.7 million the season before.

"Despite tumultuous times and a transfer market which is reaching new 
dimensions, we have once again achieved record turnover and posted a solid 
profit," said CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen.

"This demonstrates the exceptional strength and substance of our club. We are 
not volatile, Bayern is stable."

The defending German champions also announced membership had reached 432,500, 
the highest in the club's history and more than that of any other football 
team.

Hainer was re-elected unopposed, winning the support of the vast majority of 
voting members.

With a few exceptions, German football clubs are required to adhere to the 
so-called '50+1 rule', requiring members to retain a controlling share in the 
club.

The rule ensures members and fans control clubs and prevents external 
investors having a majority say.
