No be small news o! Bayern Munich don announce say dem go take over Sportpark Unterhaching wey dey set to become the new home for their women team by January 1, 2026. Dis deal dey worth €7.5 million (that na about $8.8 million) plus renovation costs wey dem go do over di next years. As e be, na big upgrade to di women football wey dey grow for Germany.

Na from the mouth of Bayern CEO, Jan-Christian Dreesen, we hear say dis move go help dem meet UEFA requirement and fit satisfy spectator demand. Di current pitch wey di women dey play get space for only 2,500 fans, but last season, dem sell out 10 of di 11 home matches. Now, dem dey go move to one wey fit carry 15,000 fans. Na serious upgrade wey go make dem plenty feel like say dem dey play for big league.

Dis Unterhaching stadium no be just for match alone o! Bayern go also collect three training pitches and clubhouse wey get restaurant and even beer garden. E mean say dem go fit chill and enjoy after dem don play match. Na wetin Bayern Women director, Bianca Rech, talk as dem announce di new home say dem dey proud about di new arrangement wey go become di new groud zero for women football.

Di plan be say from next season, Bayern Women go start to dey play all dem matches for Unterhaching. But make we clear am, by 2029, dem go don complete di full move and all di women program go dey for di stadium. Na beta investment wey go take time to yield, but dem dey believe say e go worth am. Dreesen sef tok say na so dem take believe in women’s football, no be joke.

And as dem dey do di move, di current tenant wey dey di stadium, Spielvereinigung Unterhaching, no go see plenty change. Dem suppose be tenant for di city, na now dem go just dey under Bayern side. Di city don already talk say dem wan sell di facility, and Unterhaching sef try to buy am but dem no fit afford am.

President of Unterhaching, Manfred Schwabl, wey be former Bayern midfielder, don confirm say di deal mean say dem go still dey maintain their sporting home, and dem go do infrastructure upgrade wey go prepare am for di growing demands of professional football. Na big big history still dey connect both clubs, as for Bundesliga wey na where dem dey play together for long.
