Germans don't like to lose at all. After the 1962 World Cup in Chile, where Germany was eliminated by Yugoslavia in the quarter-finals, on July 28, 1962, history changed. On that day, 60 years ago, the Bundesliga was born in Dortmund.

It was a decision dictated by the need to have a professional championship in a single group. Iron rules, of course, can not be imagined otherwise.

The foundations were laid, because until that time the championship was not in a single group, but divided into different stages. Regional championships and national finals gave way to 16 teams selected based on historical criteria, results, as well as geographical criteria.

The Bundesliga then started in August 1963. The first championship in a single group left out Bayern Munich. The regulation provided for the presence of one team for each city and as the oldest club, Munich 1860 was chosen.

Bayern still found the time and the way to enter. And as soon as he entered the scene, in the 1964/1965 season, he always 'recited' as a leading actor, taking home almost half of the titles.

The Bundesliga has always maintained a kind of elite status ever since. There are 56 teams that have participated in 60 Bundesliga championships. From the 2018-19 season, after the fall of Hamburg, there is no longer any team that has participated in all editions.

And Werder's sensational collapse allowed the next record for Bayern. In the 2021-2022 season, the Bavarians tied Werder in the special tradition classification. Bayern represent the team with the most participation in the highest level of German football. Verder returns to the Bundesliga in the new season.
