FC Bayern Munich is getting a new stadium anthem – and the fans created it themselves. The song is scheduled to be released in time for the club’s 125th birthday.
FC Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund have “You’ll never walk alone”, Real have thier “Hala Madrid”, even the small VfL Bochum have their ”Grönemeyer” – and the glorious FC Bayern? the German record champions have so far been missing an emotional song that gets all the fans excited about their heroes’ games in the Allianz Arena shortly before kick-off – until now.
After the line “Always forward, FC Bayern!” The text follows: “German champions, Munich’s pride. We want to celebrate in every stadium – we, the FCB fans. As it has been for over 100 years, it will remain until death: Our club, FC Bayern, in the colors white and red.”
In the future, this song will be played at home games instantly before the team arrives. The club says: “This special ritual created by the fans is intended to create goosebumps and to involve all fans of the record champions.”
So far, songs like “Forever Number One” or “Stern des Süds” had shaped the mood in the arena. But it was critically important to the fans to create an anthem from their own ranks.
How does the new anthem enhance the fans’ experience at allianz Arena during match days?
