Annual general meeting at FC Bayern: Qatar sponsorship escalates

The situation had escalated after discussions about the controversial sleeve sponsorship by Qatar Airways, a hot topic in the club for months.

After President Herbert Hainer no longer allowed to speak and the AGM ended shortly after midnight after more than five hours, some of the approximately 800 fans who were present freaked out.

There were loud “Hainer out” calls, plus chants: “We are Bayern and you are not” and “We are the fans you don't want”.

Previously, FC Bayern had not allowed a spontaneous proposal to get the members to vote on Qatar sponsorship.

The club referred to a judgment of the Regional Court of Munich I on Thursday, according to which "the general meeting is not responsible for the deliberation and resolution mentioned according to the association's articles of association".

FC Bayern Munich: Qatar sponsorship has been causing displeasure among fans for some time

The Munich-based contract with the emirate of Qatar, which will host the 2022 World Cup, will run until 2023. A new deal should be prevented.

Qatar stands for massive human rights violations, and there are also serious allegations of corruption in sport, according to the supporters.

Hainer, who complained about a "vile" tone during the debate, had previously made the record champions' point of view clear.

“I still firmly believe that dialogue is the best way to bring people together,” he said.

In addition, the club “has not yet made a decision to continue with Qatar”.

But of course you fulfill the contract.

Oliver Kahn promises at Bayern-JHV: "We'll take it all with us"

CEO Oliver Kahn spoke about “very clear criteria for such partnerships.

There are compliance requirements as with any partner.

We're looking at it closely, ”he said.

But he always sees “things that can be improved and developed further.

We'll take it all with us ”.

In principle, however, for him too, dialogue is “better than excluding and excluding”.

One thing is clear: the discussions will continue.

After all, the World Cup will begin in Qatar in almost exactly one year, and there have already been protests in many countries.
