Letter to fans after Hoeness shock
FC Bayern actually admits a mistake

The annual general meeting of FC Bayern Munich ends in chaos. Qatar in particular is a point of contention. Now the German soccer record champions admit that they made mistakes on the evening and on the irritating topic. The people of Munich are now longing for a “togetherness” with the fans.

FC Bayern Munich wrote a letter to its members after its turbulent annual general meeting, admitting mistakes. “After the annual general meeting last week, we don’t want, can’t and shouldn’t just go back to the agenda,” said the German soccer champions. “Unfortunately, there is no question that this annual general meeting did not go as we are used to from our FC Bayern.”

At the club’s members’ meeting, there was turbulence around the topic of Qatar. Numerous fans are bothered by their club’s business relationships with the host country of the 2022 World Cup. A horrified Uli Hoeneß had already stood at the lectern last week. But the honorary president left the podium after a short time without a word when the riot of a fan opposition with whistles and boos against the Bayern bosses with President Herbert Hainer as the central stimulus around the controversial issue of Qatar sponsorship escalated. Loud “Hainer out, Hainer out” shouts echoed through the Audi Dome at midnight. “We are Bayern – and you are not,” shouted the indignant members – and also: “We are the fans you don’t want.”

“Finding a way together”

“With all the turbulence – and we certainly did not get everything right on this topic – our club is in an exemplary position despite everything in this pandemic: athletically, economically and socially,” the club management now emphasized. They were aware “that a lot had pent up on the subject of Qatar,” wrote the club’s top. “However, we ask for your understanding that we could not vote on a motion that evening that was declared inadmissible by the regional court for legal reasons in the morning – but we assure you at the same time that we will intensify the discourse with our members. “

When it comes to Qatar, they want to “find a way together”, according to the association. “Contact has already been made with those whose requests to speak were no longer considered, the first meetings have already taken place and more have been agreed for the near future. We are also working intensively on the annual general meeting and have the first concrete decisions to improve the dialogue with ours.” Members. “
