From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bayern Munich II (or Bayern Munich Amateure) are the second team of German football club Bayern Munich. They have played in the Regionalliga Süd (III) since 1994 when the league was formed and have generally earned mid-table results. The team won the Regionalliga title in 2004, but like the reserve teams of other clubs represented in the first and second divisions of German football competition, is not permitted promotion above this level.
The team represents the final step between Bayern's youth setup and the first team, and is usually made up of promising youngsters between the age of 18 and 23, with a few veteran players drafted in to provide experience.
Bayern II has made several appearances in German Cup play, even facing the senior Bayern side in a fourth round 1977 match-up (3:5). In 1984 they advanced to the national amateur final where lost 1:4 to MSV Duisburg.
[edit] Stadium
Bayern II play at the Stadion an der Grünwalder Straße, which was the first team's venue until the opening of the Olympiastadion in 1972. As is common with other German second teams, attendance at matches is often less than 1,000 spectators, and is usually dependent on the interest of the away team's following.
