World record in sight: Bayern women set for historic opener | OneFootball

For the season opener of the Bayern women's team against Leverkusen, tens of thousands are flocking to the Allianz Arena. The demand for tickets exceeds all expectations.

For the first Bundesliga home game of the Munich women in the 2025/26 season on Saturday, September 6, at 5:45 pm, over 50,000 tickets have already been sold - as many as never before for a match in German women's football. The previous league record was 38,365 spectators and was set in 2023 during the match between 1. FC Köln and Eintracht Frankfurt. If the rush continues, even an international record could fall.

60,739 spectators watched the 2019 match between Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona - to date the highest number at a national women's match worldwide. Now there is a chance in Munich to surpass this value. The choice of venue makes this possible: Instead of the usual campus, the Bayern women are playing in the large Allianz Arena, which can accommodate up to 75,000 seats.

Bayern plans a big supporting program

Preparations have been underway for months. The club had decided early on to provide the stadium for the opening match - with the aim of setting a benchmark for the entire league. In addition to the sporting stage, the supporting program should also provide a real event experience to attract new audience groups to women's football.

For the team of José Barcala, the duel against Bayer Leverkusen will be a very special experience. The record crowd could not only cause goosebumps but also redefine the importance of women's football in this country.

With each additional ticket, the chance grows that the match will not only leave a lasting impression in terms of sport but also historically. Those who want to be there live can still secure tickets in the official FC Bayern ticket shop.
