Re-elected: Herbert Hainer remains president of FC Bayern | OneFootball

Herbert Hainer has been re-elected as President of FC Bayern Munich by a clear majority at the club’s 2025 Annual General Meeting. In the regular election of the executive board held at Munich’s BMW Park, the 71-year-old once again received the trust of the members and is now entering his third term in office.

In total, 1,858 members voted for Hainer, with only 85 voting against his re-election and 44 abstaining. Prior to this, the entire executive board had already been discharged for the 2024/2025 fiscal year with an overwhelming majority. The election was overseen by the election committee chaired by Honorary Council Chairman Reinhard Böker.

The theme of this year’s meeting was “125 Years of FC Bayern.” In his speech before the vote, Hainer said: “125 years of FC Bayern shows us: We know where we come from, who we are – and where we want to go.”

After his re-election, he once again addressed the members and emphasized: “This office fills me with great humility, and it is a great honor for me to continue to be the president of this unique club.” He also said: “We do not measure ourselves by the competition, but only by ourselves. What FC Bayern does today sets the standard for tomorrow.”

The two vice presidents were also confirmed in office. Prof. Dr. Dieter Mayer received 81 votes against and 71 abstentions in his re-election, while Walter Mennekes received 37 votes against and 47 abstentions. Both accepted the election and will continue to serve on the executive board.

Hainer, who took over the presidency from Uli Hoeneß in December 2019, has been a member of the supervisory board since 2002 and has chaired it for six years. During his tenure, FC Bayern has won, among other things, six German championships, two DFB-Pokal titles, and the historic sextuple in 2020. The women’s team and the basketball team have also celebrated numerous national titles. Mayer and Mennekes have served as vice presidents since 2014 and 2016, respectively.
