FC Augsburg history
The club began in 1907 as Fußball-Klub Alemannia Augsburg and was known as BC Augsburg between 1921 and 1969. For most of its history it bounced between Germany's second and third divisions, and in the early 2000s it even spent two seasons in the fourth tier. No football club in Bavarian Swabia is bigger, with more than 27,000 members.
Promotion to the Bundesliga came for the first time in 2011, and Augsburg have stayed there since. The best finish was fifth in 2014-15, which led to a European debut in the 2015-16 Europa League, ending in the round of 32 against Liverpool. Fans pack the arena: average attendance in 2023-24 was 29,301, or 95.6% of capacity. Supporters stand on the Ulrich-Biesinger-Tribüne terrace behind one goal.
