How has Bayern Munich remembered Franz Beckenbauer?
With a bronze statue outside the Allianz Arena, a renaming of the stadium's address to Franz-Beckenbauer-Platz 5 in honour of his shirt number, and an annual legends tournament in his name.
The tributes
The German Supercup was also renamed the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup, and the proceeds of the memorial tournament go to the Franz Beckenbauer Foundation, which has supported people with disabilities and those in need for more than four decades. He would have turned 80 in September 2025.
What did Franz Beckenbauer win with West Germany?
The 1972 European Championship and the 1974 World Cup as a player, and the 1990 World Cup as head coach.
The World Cup record
He won 103 caps and scored 14 goals, captaining the side from 1971. The 1990 title in Italy made him one of only a handful of people to win the World Cup as both player and coach, and he had also been runner-up in 1986 as manager.
What did Franz Beckenbauer do at Bayern Munich?
Four Bundesliga titles and three consecutive European Cups between 1974 and 1976, as captain, before spells at Hamburg and the New York Cosmos.
The Bayern years
He joined Bayern's youth setup as a teenager and left in 1977, and the three European Cups in a row is the achievement that built the club's modern reputation. He returned later as coach and then as president, serving from 1994 to 2009.
Which Beckenbauer shirt should I buy?
A West Germany 1974 shirt is the most requested, with Bayern's mid-1970s European Cup kits as the other main option.
The shirts and the numbers
He wore 5 for Bayern and West Germany, which is why the number is stitched into the club's address at the stadium. The 1970s kits are cut much narrower than modern shirts, so check the chest measurement before ordering.
What does delivery look like on Franz Beckenbauer orders?
Nine adult sizes on a chest-based chart, dispatch in 1-3 working days, 7-15 days standard shipping or 5-7 express.
Retro sizing and shipping
Shirts from the 1970s are cut narrower than anything made today, so size up if you are between two. Free printing adds 3-7 days, and returns are free for 30 days.
