Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

THE WEB home of Manchester United's European Cup final opponents has a section called "Foundation", which reads, rather tantalisingly: "Is that what Franz John imagined when he founded FC Bayern 97 years ago on 27 February 1900 in the Restaurant Gisela, together with eleven friends - that he was creating what was to be Germany's most successful football club! And just because in the 1879 Munich MTV club the main emphasis was on gymnastics, rather than on the then despised `kicking around.'" Head to this site for extensive news and features, including "Neudecker era" and "From Heynckes to Hitzfeld." There's also information on the Olympic Stadium in Munich and the players, as well as a fairly comprehensive statistics package.
