"When FC Bayern plays, everyone in my family knows what's going on. "It's 'me' time," says Bernard. His wife knows the look, and so do his children. Laptop open, chat open, the rest of the world can wait a moment. For 25 years, the Frenchman has been following the record champions from afar as the founder of FC Bayern France, the largest French-speaking community for FC Bayern fans."
"Founded in 2000, the fan club is now the central point of contact for FC Bayern supporters in France. With over 18,000 followers on Facebook, 13,000 on X and a growing community on Instagram, it's clear that the 'Reds' have long since made their mark in France. The fan club is based in Port-Villez near Paris, but its members come from all over the country - from Normandy to Marseille,"
""I wanted to combine my two passions: FC Bayern and the world of IT," he says. In 2000, when the internet was still in its infancy, he set up the website fcbayern-fr.com. Writing articles, entering results, selecting photos, designing the layout - all done by hand, with pure enthusiasm."
Bernard founded FC Bayern France in 2000 to combine a passion for FC Bayern and IT, launching fcbayern-fr.com with hand-crafted updates. The site grew into the central point of contact for Bayern supporters in France, accumulating strong social media followings on Facebook, X and Instagram. The fan club is based in Port-Villez near Paris but includes members from across the country, from Normandy to Marseille. Long-term fans like Olivier joined early and now help run the site. Family involvement and active match-time chat demonstrate strong, long-standing engagement, especially around major fixtures such as Champions League games.
