Bayern considers itself a national club.
The club has more than 147,000 members and 2,437 fanclubs, making it the club with the largest number of organized supporters in Germany.
Owing partly to the club having supporters all over the country,
all of Bayern's away games have been sold out in recent years.
Their following is mainly recruited from the aspiring middle class and regional Bavaria. Despite a large proportion of their supporters having to travel more than 200 km (ca. 120 miles) regularly,
the club's home matches in the
Allianz Arena have almost always been sold out.
According to a study by Sport+Markt Bayern is the fifth-most popular football club in Europe with 20.7 million supporters, and the most popular football club in Germany with 10 million supporters.
Bayern Munich is also renowned for its well-organized
ultra scene. The most prominent groups are the
Schickeria München, the
Red Munichs '89, the
Südkurve '73, the
Munichmaniacs 1996, the
Service Crew Munich, the
Red Angels, the
Tavernen Crew München, and the
Red Sharks.
Stern des Südens is the song which fans sing at FCB home games. In the 1990s they also used to sing
FC Bayern, Forever Number One.
