‘An honour’: Hainer nominated for third term as Bayern president | OneFootball

Herbert Hainer has been nominated by the FC Bayern administrative board for a third term as president of the club. He is to be re-elected at the AGM on November 2.

Herbert Hainer is on the verge of a possible third term as president of FC Bayern. The club's administrative board unanimously nominated the 69-year-old on Friday evening for the election at the upcoming annual general meeting on November 2 at BMW Park. The two vice-presidents, Professor Dr. Dieter Mayer and Walter Mennekes, are also expected to run again.

Edmund Stoiber, chairman of the administrative board, stated: “Herbert Hainer, Dieter Mayer and Walter Mennekes, with their professionalism and incredible identification with FC Bayern, stand for the club's pleasing development over the past years. The club is experiencing the largest membership growth in its history and, thanks to the closeness to fans of the presidency, newly developed and established dialogue formats, and the familial home that FC Bayern offers people, has unique features that are unmatched in international football. In addition, there is sporting success, economic solidity and outstanding social commitment such as the 'Red against Racism' initiative. The current presidency under the excellent leadership of President and Supervisory Board Chairman Hainer, which the administrative board unanimously nominated for re-election today, stands for all of this.”

Hainer: “I am very grateful”

Hainer himself gratefully accepted the nomination: “I am pleased and very grateful for the trust of our administrative board under the chairmanship of Dr. Edmund Stoiber and the nomination, which I am happy to accept. Together with Dieter Mayer and Walter Mennekes, we would be honored to serve the club for another three years as a presidency. Personally, it is an honor for me to be part of this unique club, and I am therefore happy to stand for election. Together with my colleagues, our goal is to continue to grow as a club: Everyone should see a home in FC Bayern and be proud of this unique club. For this, we have developed many formats over the past years that enable participation, commitment and exchange. We will consistently continue this path.”

Hainer was elected to office in 2019 as the successor to Uli Hoeneß and has since also chaired the supervisory board of FC Bayern München AG. In 2022, he was already confirmed in office once.

Mayer and Mennekes have been accompanying the club since 2014 and 2016 respectively as vice-presidents, Mayer is also a member of the supervisory board. The annual general meeting in November, which is entirely dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the club, will thus also decide on the personnel continuity at the top of FC Bayern.
