Bayern Munich Moves Toward Säbener Straße Overhaul With New First-Team Center

The push reflects a plan to upgrade the long-time base to help lure elite players.

Overview

  • Local reports say construction on the Säbener Straße revamp could start this year, following earlier approval and a postponement.
  • A senior Bayern group inspected the site with printed plans, including CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, sporting director Christoph Freund, grounds chief Peter Sauer, facilities lead Sebastian Faforke, and Allianz Arena CEO Jürgen Muth.
  • The project is pegged at around €100 million with a three-year build and an estimated 50,000 truckloads of rubble to move.
  • Plans include a new training pitch on the space now taken by a €1 million fitness circuit from the Carlo Ancelotti era that was rarely used after 2017.
  • Tz and Bild detail the build and pitch plan, while Yahoo Sports relays that Kathleen Krüger will steer the design of the first-team facility in her new strategy role.
