Bayern Munich was not interested in joining the Super League.

“I believe the nature of football was misunderstood and the power of the fans underestimated’ - Hainer

BAYERN Munich's president revealed that the club had no interest in joining the proposed European Super League.

In April 2021, 12 clubs from England, Italy, and Spain had originally announced a breakaway. 

The incident caused a lot of issues between football association, fans and other football related bodies, who were mostly against the decision. After some days, nine of them, including all six from England, withdrew their commitment to the idea.

“It was clear for us: the Super League cannot happen in Europe in such a way. Therefore, we said that rather quickly, we won’t be part of it,” Hainer said.

“I believe the nature of football was misunderstood and the power of the fans underestimated. And then it imploded within three days.” He added.

Bayern Munich is part of the 9 clubs to withdraw from the Super League.
