FC Bayern Munich, is a German professional football team,
which plays in the Bundesliga, the top tier of the German football league
system, and is the most successful club in German football history, having won
a record 28 national titles and 18 national cups. FC Bayern was founded in 1900
by 11 football players, led by Franz John. Although Bayern won its first
national championship in 1932, the club was not selected for the Bundesliga at
its inception in 1963. The club had its period of greatest success in the
middle of the 1970s when, under the captaincy of Franz Beckenbauer, it won the
European Cup three times in a row (1974–1976). Overall, Bayern has reached ten
European Cup/UEFA Champions League finals, most recently winning their fifth
title in 2013 as part of a continental treble. Bayern has also won one UEFA
Cup, one European Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, one FIFA Club World Cup
and two Intercontinental Cups, making it one of the most successful European
clubs internationally and the only German club to have won both international
titles. Since the formation of the Bundesliga, Bayern has been the dominant
club in German football with 28 titles and has won 10 of the last 14 titles.
They have traditional local rivalries with 1860 Munich and 1. FC Nürnberg, as
well as with Borussia Dortmund since the mid-1990s.
