Bavarian Sport Prize 2026
Overview
The 2026 Bavarian Sport Prize was held in Munich to recognize excellence in professional, amateur, and parasports. The ceremony, hosted by the Bavarian State Government at the BMW Welt auditorium, honored various disciplines including winter sports following the Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo Winter Games.
Among the recipients, FC Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany was awarded the Prime Minister’s Personal Prize. Minister-President Markus Söder praised Kompany for his tactical leadership and his commitment to social values, noting that the club has transitioned from ‘FC Hollywood’ to ‘FC Feelgood’ by representing tolerance and openness. Söder specifically cited Kompany’s stance against racism and exclusion as a reason for the honor. During his acceptance, Kompany advocated for Munich to host future Summer Olympic Games in 2036, 2040, or 2044.
