Sporting success is just the tip of the iceberg. Behind the team on the pitch are hundreds of people who work for the club: Groundsmen, employees in the fan stores, talent scouts, IT specialists and many more: they all work continuously to take the club to the very top in every respect. In the context of digitalization, FC Bayern relies on the STACKIT Cloud in the area of cloud computing. We are proud to be able to accompany the transformation and bring our resources and experience together with the ambition and passion of the FC Bayern team.
