1. FC Köln

April 22, 2023

1. Fußball-Club Köln 01/07 e. V., commonly known as simply FC Köln (German pronunciation: [ɛf ˈt͡seː ˈkœln] (listen)) or FC Cologne in English, is a German professional football club based in Cologne in North Rhine-Westphalia. It was formed in 1948 as a merger of the clubs Kölner Ballspiel-Club 1901 and SpVgg Sülz 07. Köln competes in the Bundesliga after promotion in 2018–19 following relegation to 2. Bundesliga the previous season. The team are three-time national champions, winning the 1962 German football championship, as well as the Bundesliga twice, first in its inaugural season of 1963–64 and then again in 1977–78. The team plays its home matches at RheinEnergieStadion.

Current season

The club's nickname Die Geißböcke (The Billy Goats) refers to the club's mascot, a male goat named Hennes after the veteran FC player and later manager Hennes Weisweiler. The first Hennes was donated by a circus entrepreneur as a Cologne carnival joke. The current mascot is Hennes IX as of 1 August 2019 after Hennes VIII was retired by the club due to old age.[1] Another nickname for the club, more common locally due to its ambiguity, is FC (often written as Effzeh), a common German abbreviation for football clubs. Characteristic for the dialect spoken around Cologne, this is pronounced "EF-tsay", in contrast to the Standard German pronunciation of the abbreviation where the second syllable is emphasized ([ʔɛf ˈtseː]). Köln play at home in white and red, both colours having been used as the main shirt colour throughout its history. The club has long-standing rivalries with nearby clubs Borussia Mönchengladbach, Fortuna Düsseldorf, and Bayer Leverkusen.

Like many of Germany's other professional football clubs, 1. FC Köln is part of a larger sports club with teams in other sports like handball, table tennis and gymnastics. 1. FC Köln has over 100,000 members, making it the fourth largest club in Germany.[2][3]

History

Predecessor sides

 
Historical logos of predecessor side Kölner BC

Kölner BC was formed on 6 June 1901 by a group of young men who were unhappy as part of the gymnastics club FC Borussia Köln and far more interested in football. BC was a competitive side in the Zehnerliga West in the years before World War I who took the Westdeutsche championship in 1912 and advanced to the preliminary rounds of the national finals. Their next best result was a losing appearance in the 1920 league final, where they lost 1–3 to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Spielvereinigung 1907 Köln-Sülz was established in 1907 as Sülzer Sportverein and on 1 January 1919 merged with Fußball Club 1908 Hertha Sülz to form SpVgg. They won the Westdeutscher title in 1928 and they too went out in the early rounds of the national finals in their turn on that stage. They went on to play as a top flight club in the Gauliga Mittelrhein, one of sixteen premier level divisions established in 1933 in the re-organization of German football under the Third Reich. The side earned generally good results through the 1930s – including a divisional championship in 1939 – but then faltered in the early 1940s. After the 1941 season the Gauliga Mittlerhein was split into two new divisions: the Gauliga Köln-Aachen and the Gauliga Moselland, which included clubs from occupied Luxembourg. Sülz struggled until they were united with VfL Köln 1899 for the 1943–44 season to form the combined wartime side Kriegspielgemeinschaft VfL 99/Sülz 07 which promptly won the Gauliga Köln-Aachen title by a single point over SG Düren 99 in a close race. The club did not play the next campaign as war overtook the region.

A successful new club

After the union of these two predecessor sides (1948), 1. FC Köln began play in the tough Oberliga West in the 1949–50 season and by 1954 had won their first divisional championship. That same year they lost the DFB-Pokal final 1–0 to VfB Stuttgart. Die Geißböcke won their second divisional championship in 1960 and appeared in the national final against Hamburger SV, where they lost 2–3. They went on to finish first in the Oberliga West in each of the next three seasons and again played their way to the national final in 1962 and 1963. They won the 1962 match 4–0 over 1. FC Nürnberg resulting in entry to the 1962–63 European Cup where they were one of the favourites to win the trophy. In the first round Köln visited Dundee F.C. of Scotland and lost 1–8, and despite winning the second leg back in Germany by 4–0 they were out of the tournament. In the following year's national final they lost 1–3 to Borussia Dortmund.

Continuing success

 
Köln vs Liverpool, 1965 European Cup

In 1963, FC Köln was selected as one of the original 16 teams to play in the Bundesliga, Germany's new professional football league. Köln continued their winning ways by becoming the first ever Bundesliga champion in the league's inaugural 1963–64 season. As German champions, Köln entered the 1964–65 European Cup where it met England's Liverpool at the quarter-final stage. After two 0–0 draws, a third game was played which was also a stalemate, this time 2–2. As the penalty shootout had not yet been introduced as the means of deciding a tie, Köln went out of the competition on the toss of a coin. Ironically enough, there was the need for a second coin toss because the first time the coin stuck vertically in the ground. The club also became the first Bundesliga side to field a Brazilian player when it signed Zézé for a then club record fee of DM 150,000.[4] Domestically, Köln recorded a second-place finish in the 1964–65 Bundesliga season and won its first DFB-Pokal in 1967–68.

At the start of the 1970s, Köln reached three DFB-Pokal finals in four seasons, losing all three; to Kickers Offenbach in 1970, Bayern Munich in 1971 and Borussia Mönchengladbach in 1973. The team also achieved another second place Bundesliga finish in 1973 before reaching another DFB-Pokal final in 1977, beating Hertha BSC over two legs to win the trophy for the second time.

In 1977–78, FC Köln enjoyed its most successful season, winning the Bundesliga title, its third national title overall, and retaining the DFB-Pokal. This makes Köln one of only four clubs to have won the double in the Bundesliga era.

Köln had another losing DFB-Pokal final appearance in 1980, before winning the competition for a fourth time in 1983. In 1986, the club appeared in its first European final, losing 5–3 on aggregate to Real Madrid in the UEFA Cup Final. Two second place Bundesliga finishes, in 1988–89 and 1989–90, and another DFB-Pokal final loss in 1991, marked the end of a glorious thirty-year period for FC Köln.

21st century: ups and downs

 
Mascot Hennes VIII

In recent years, the club's performance has been mixed. The FC holds the dubious distinction of the worst goal drought in Bundesliga history: in 2002, the supporters had to wait 1034 excruciating minutes (equivalent to 11-and-a-half games) until Thomas Cichon found the back of the net again.[5] In the early years of the Bundesliga, 1. FC Köln was the most successful club in West Germany in terms of total points won. Beginning in the early 1990s, however, the club's performance fell, and in 1998 it was relegated for the first time. Since about 2000, the side has been a "yo-yo team", moving between the first and second divisions. It has returned to the Bundesliga at the end of the 2004–05 season as 2. Bundesliga champions after having been relegated the season before. There was little optimism about their return to the top flight as they were picked by German football magazine kicker as one of the clubs most likely to be relegated.

This prediction came true when Köln lost to Hamburger SV 1–0 in the third-to-last match of the season. The club finished the season in second-last place and was relegated after conceding a league-worst 71 goals. The team's most prolific goal scorer was Lukas Podolski with a total of 12 goals, who transferred to Bayern Munich after the end of the season. He also appeared with the Germany national team at the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

In late 2006, former coach Christoph Daum was convinced to once again take the helm of the 2. Bundesliga club and succeeded in leading the club back to the Bundesliga in 2008. After a successful Bundesliga campaign in 2008–09, Daum left Köln for his former club Fenerbahçe. Köln's former star-striker Lukas Podolski returned for the 2009–10 season.

After a poor run of form in the 2010–11 season, recording only one win from its opening nine Bundesliga fixtures, Köln replaced coach Zvonimir Soldo with Frank Schaefer. Schaefer, who was originally in charge of the under-23 team of Köln, decided after the season that he would rather spend more time with his family than be a coach in the Bundesliga. Former Norwegian international and recent Copenhagen coach Ståle Solbakken replaced him. After earning just eight points in the first 13 matches of the second half of the season, Schaefer and former Köln player Dirk Lottner replaced Solbakken.[6] The club, however, was relegated at the end of the season, finishing in 17th place, having accumulated €33m debt, and €11m negative equity.[7]

Turnaround (2012–2017)

In April 2012 the club members elected a new board of directors, Werner Spinner as president, Markus Ritterbach for marketing, and Toni Schumacher for sport. In the 2012–13 season, under new trainer Holger Stanislawski, Köln finished in fifth place in the 2. Bundesliga, missing out on promotion back to the top division.

In 2012 the board hired Jörg Jakobs as director of football who then got promoted in 2014 to sporting director, chief scout and director of the academy.[8][9] In January 2013 Alexander Wehrle joined as managing director of FC Köln ltd. Wehrle was working as assistant for VfB Stuttgart president Erwin Staudt, especially for rebuilding the stadium.[10] In summer 2013 Peter Stöger and Manfred Schmid were hired as coaching team, and Jörg Schmadtke as general manager. 2013–14 Köln finished first in the 2. Bundesliga and earned promotion to the top division. It was followed by a 12th place 2014–15, ninth in 2015–16, and fifth place in 2016–17. 25 years after the club's last appearance in international football to date they qualified for the Europa League. After restructuring and repaying debt, equity turned from €11m negative to €20m positive. The turnover increased from €56m in 2012/13 to more than €120m in 2016/17.[7][11][12]

Decline and changes (2018–)

After the club's return the European stage, fortunes quickly changed. The team experienced an unsuccessful start to the 2017–18 Bundesliga season gaining only three points from its first sixteen matches. At the same time, the club's Europa League campaign ended after the group stage.[13] This downtrend led to the resignation of Jörg Schmadtke[14] and Stöger's dismissal in December 2017; he was replaced by Stefan Ruthenbeck who was appointed as caretaker manager.[15] In spite of an improved record in the second half of the season, the team finished last and were relegated to 2. Bundesliga at the end of the year.

 
1. FC Köln in 2021

Ahead of the 2018–19 season, Markus Anfang was appointed manager with a mandate to achieve an immediate return to the top flight.[16] While the club occupied the league's top spot for much of the season, Anfang was let go after a winless streak in April 2019.[17] Just a week later, with André Pawlak at the helm, the team achieved promotion with a 0–4 victory over Greuther Fürth.[18] On 13 May 2019, the club announced that Jahn Regensburg manager Achim Beierlorzer would assume its vacant head coaching position from the upcoming season. He was signed to a contract until 2021.[19] Following an unsuccessful start to the 2019–20 season, which included a 3–2 cup defeat against 1. FC Saarbrücken, the club decided to terminate Beierlorzer's contract on 9 November 2019.[20] Sporting director Armin Veh, who weeks earlier had announced that he would not extend his contract with the club, was also dismissed from his position.[21] On 18 November, former HSV manager Markus Gisdol was appointed to the club's head coaching position, while Horst Heldt was made sporting director. Both signed contracts until 2021.[22] After avoiding relegation at the end of the season, Gisdol's contract was extended until 2023.[23]

The club found itself in a renewed relegation during the 2020–21 season. On 11 April 2021, after losing to relegation rival Mainz 05, Gisdol was dismissed from his position as head coach.[24] The next day, it was announced that Friedhelm Funkel would take over head coaching duties until the end of the season.[25] On 11 May, it was reported that SC Paderborn manager Steffen Baumgart would succeed Funkel as head coach at the beginning of the 2021–22 season.[26] Funkel's side faced Holstein Kiel in the relegation playoffs. After losing 0–1 at home, his team recorded a 1–5 away win, enabling the club to retain its position in the Bundesliga.[27] On 1 April 2022, the club appointed Christian Keller as its new managing director, a position that had been vacant since the dismissal of Heldt in May 2021.[28]

In March 2023, during the second half of the 2022–23 campaign, Köln were put under a two-window transfer embargo by FIFA's Dispute Resolution Chamber, having been found guilty of inducing a breach of contract without just cause while signing Jaka Čuber Potočnik from Olimpija Ljubljana in January 2022.[29][30] As part of the same verdict, the club was also sentenced to pay Ljubljana a €51,750 compensation, in addition to training costs.[29][30] Köln ultimately appealed the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.[29][30]

Stadium

Main article: RheinEnergieStadion

The team plays its home matches in the Müngersdorfer Stadion, also known as the RheinEnergie Stadion for sponsorship purposes. It has a seating capacity of 50,000 and the average attendance in the 2015–16 season was 48,676.[31] The stadium sponsorship comes from a contract with the local power supplier RheinEnergie AG. However, most fans still call the stadium "Müngersdorfer Stadion", named after the suburb of Müngersdorf, where it is located.

The club owns the Geißbockheim training centre, currently known as RheinEnergieSportpark for sponsorship, located in Sülz which is a municipal part of Köln in the southwest of the city. The centre is home to the Franz-Kremer-Stadion the home of 1. FC Köln II.

Edit Historical logos of predecessor side Kolner BCKolner BC was formed on 6 June 1901 by a group of young men who were unhappy as part of the gymnastics club FC Borussia Koln and far more interested in football BC was a competitive side in the Zehnerliga West in the years before World War I who took the Westdeutsche championship in 1912 and advanced to the preliminary rounds of the national finals Their next best result was a losing appearance in the 1920 league final where they lost 1 3 to Borussia Monchengladbach Spielvereinigung 1907 Koln Sulz was established in 1907 as Sulzer Sportverein and on 1 January 1919 merged with Fussball Club 1908 Hertha Sulz to form SpVgg They won the Westdeutscher title in 1928 and they too went out in the early rounds of the national finals in their turn on that stage They went on to play as a top flight club in the Gauliga Mittelrhein one of sixteen premier level divisions established in 1933 in the re organization of German football under the Third Reich The side earned generally good results through the 1930s including a divisional championship in 1939 but then faltered in the early 1940s After the 1941 season the Gauliga Mittlerhein was split into two new divisions the Gauliga Koln Aachen and the Gauliga Moselland which included clubs from occupied Luxembourg Sulz struggled until they were united with VfL Koln 1899 for the 1943 44 season to form the combined wartime side Kriegspielgemeinschaft VfL 99 Sulz 07 which promptly won the Gauliga Koln Aachen title by a single point over SG Duren 99 in a close race The club did not play the next campaign as war overtook the region A successful new club Edit Historical chart of 1 FC Koln league performance After the union of these two predecessor sides 1948 1 FC Koln began play in the tough Oberliga West in the 1949 50 season and by 1954 had won their first divisional championship That same year they lost the DFB Pokal final 1 0 to VfB Stuttgart Die Geissbocke won their second divisional championship in 1960 and appeared in the national final against Hamburger SV where they lost 2 3 They went on to finish first in the Oberliga West in each of the next three seasons and again played their way to the national final in 1962 and 1963 They won the 1962 match 4 0 over 1 FC Nurnberg resulting in entry to the 1962 63 European Cup where they were one of the favourites to win the trophy In the first round Koln visited Dundee F C of Scotland and lost 1 8 and despite winning the second leg back in Germany by 4 0 they were out of the tournament In the following year s national final they lost 1 3 to Borussia Dortmund Continuing success Edit Koln vs Liverpool 1965 European Cup In 1963 FC Koln was selected as one of the original 16 teams to play in the Bundesliga Germany s new professional football league Koln continued their winning ways by becoming the first ever Bundesliga champion in the league s inaugural 1963 64 season As German champions Koln entered the 1964 65 European Cup where it met England s Liverpool at the quarter final stage After two 0 0 draws a third game was played which was also a stalemate this time 2 2 As the penalty shootout had not yet been introduced as the means of deciding a tie Koln went out of the competition on the toss of a coin Ironically enough there was the need for a second coin toss because the first time the coin stuck vertically in the ground The club also became the first Bundesliga side to field a Brazilian player when it signed Zeze for a then club record fee of DM 150 000 4 Domestically Koln recorded a second place finish in the 1964 65 Bundesliga season and won its first DFB Pokal in 1967 68 At the start of the 1970s Koln reached three DFB Pokal finals in four seasons losing all three to Kickers Offenbach in 1970 Bayern Munich in 1971 and Borussia Monchengladbach in 1973 The team also achieved another second place Bundesliga finish in 1973 before reaching another DFB Pokal final in 1977 beating Hertha BSC over two legs to win the trophy for the second time In 1977 78 FC Koln enjoyed its most successful season winning the Bundesliga title its third national title overall and retaining the DFB Pokal This makes Koln one of only four clubs to have won the double in the Bundesliga era Koln had another losing DFB Pokal final appearance in 1980 before winning the competition for a fourth time in 1983 In 1986 the club appeared in its first European final losing 5 3 on aggregate to Real Madrid in the UEFA Cup Final Two second place Bundesliga finishes in 1988 89 and 1989 90 and another DFB Pokal final loss in 1991 marked the end of a glorious thirty year period for FC Koln 21st century ups and downs Edit Mascot Hennes VIII In recent years the club s performance has been mixed The FC holds the dubious distinction of the worst goal drought in Bundesliga history in 2002 the supporters had to wait 1034 excruciating minutes equivalent to 11 and a half games until Thomas Cichon found the back of the net again 5 In the early years of the Bundesliga 1 FC Koln was the most successful club in West Germany in terms of total points won Beginning in the early 1990s however the club s performance fell and in 1998 it was relegated for the first time Since about 2000 the side has been a yo yo team moving between the first and second divisions It has returned to the Bundesliga at the end of the 2004 05 season as 2 Bundesliga champions after having been relegated the season before There was little optimism about their return to the top flight as they were picked by German football magazine kicker as one of the clubs most likely to be relegated This prediction came true when Koln lost to Hamburger SV 1 0 in the third to last match of the season The club finished the season in second last place and was relegated after conceding a league worst 71 goals The team s most prolific goal scorer was Lukas Podolski with a total of 12 goals who transferred to Bayern Munich after the end of the season He also appeared with the Germany national team at the 2006 FIFA World Cup In late 2006 former coach Christoph Daum was convinced to once again take the helm of the 2 Bundesliga club and succeeded in leading the club back to the Bundesliga in 2008 After a successful Bundesliga campaign in 2008 09 Daum left Koln for his former club Fenerbahce Koln s former star striker Lukas Podolski returned for the 2009 10 season After a poor run of form in the 2010 11 season recording only one win from its opening nine Bundesliga fixtures Koln replaced coach Zvonimir Soldo with Frank Schaefer Schaefer who was originally in charge of the under 23 team of Koln decided after the season that he would rather spend more time with his family than be a coach in the Bundesliga Former Norwegian international and recent Copenhagen coach Stale Solbakken replaced him After earning just eight points in the first 13 matches of the second half of the season Schaefer and former Koln player Dirk Lottner replaced Solbakken 6 The club however was relegated at the end of the season finishing in 17th place having accumulated 33m debt and 11m negative equity 7 Turnaround 2012 2017 Edit In April 2012 the club members elected a new board of directors Werner Spinner as president Markus Ritterbach for marketing and Toni Schumacher for sport In the 2012 13 season under new trainer Holger Stanislawski Koln finished in fifth place in the 2 Bundesliga missing out on promotion back to the top division In 2012 the board hired Jorg Jakobs as director of football who then got promoted in 2014 to sporting director chief scout and director of the academy 8 9 In January 2013 Alexander Wehrle joined as managing director of FC Koln ltd Wehrle was working as assistant for VfB Stuttgart president Erwin Staudt especially for rebuilding the stadium 10 In summer 2013 Peter Stoger and Manfred Schmid were hired as coaching team and Jorg Schmadtke as general manager 2013 14 Koln finished first in the 2 Bundesliga and earned promotion to the top division It was followed by a 12th place 2014 15 ninth in 2015 16 and fifth place in 2016 17 25 years after the club s last appearance in international football to date they qualified for the Europa League After restructuring and repaying debt equity turned from 11m negative to 20m positive The turnover increased from 56m in 2012 13 to more than 120m in 2016 17 7 11 12 Decline and changes 2018 Edit After the club s return the European stage fortunes quickly changed The team experienced an unsuccessful start to the 2017 18 Bundesliga season gaining only three points from its first sixteen matches At the same time the club s Europa League campaign ended after the group stage 13 This downtrend led to the resignation of Jorg Schmadtke 14 and Stoger s dismissal in December 2017 he was replaced by Stefan Ruthenbeck who was appointed as caretaker manager 15 In spite of an improved record in the second half of the season the team finished last and were relegated to 2 Bundesliga at the end of the year 1 FC Koln in 2021 Ahead of the 2018 19 season Markus Anfang was appointed manager with a mandate to achieve an immediate return to the top flight 16 While the club occupied the league s top spot for much of the season Anfang was let go after a winless streak in April 2019 17 Just a week later with Andre Pawlak at the helm the team achieved promotion with a 0 4 victory over Greuther Furth 18 On 13 May 2019 the club announced that Jahn Regensburg manager Achim Beierlorzer would assume its vacant head coaching position from the upcoming season He was signed to a contract until 2021 19 Following an unsuccessful start to the 2019 20 season which included a 3 2 cup defeat against 1 FC Saarbrucken the club decided to terminate Beierlorzer s contract on 9 November 2019 20 Sporting director Armin Veh who weeks earlier had announced that he would not extend his contract with the club was also dismissed from his position 21 On 18 November former HSV manager Markus Gisdol was appointed to the club s head coaching position while Horst Heldt was made sporting director Both signed contracts until 2021 22 After avoiding relegation at the end of the season Gisdol s contract was extended until 2023 23 The club found itself in a renewed relegation during the 2020 21 season On 11 April 2021 after losing to relegation rival Mainz 05 Gisdol was dismissed from his position as head coach 24 The next day it was announced that Friedhelm Funkel would take over head coaching duties until the end of the season 25 On 11 May it was reported that SC Paderborn manager Steffen Baumgart would succeed Funkel as head coach at the beginning of the 2021 22 season 26 Funkel s side faced Holstein Kiel in the relegation playoffs After losing 0 1 at home his team recorded a 1 5 away win enabling the club to retain its position in the Bundesliga 27 On 1 April 2022 the club appointed Christian Keller as its new managing director a position that had been vacant since the dismissal of Heldt in May 2021 28 In March 2023 during the second half of the 2022 23 campaign Koln were put under a two window transfer embargo by FIFA s Dispute Resolution Chamber having been found guilty of inducing a breach of contract without just cause while signing Jaka Cuber Potocnik from Olimpija Ljubljana in January 2022 29 30 As part of the same verdict the club was also sentenced to pay Ljubljana a 51 750 compensation in addition to training costs 29 30 Koln ultimately appealed the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne 29 30 Stadium EditMain article RheinEnergieStadion RheinEnergieStadion The team plays its home matches in the Mungersdorfer Stadion also known as the RheinEnergie Stadion for sponsorship
