1. FC Köln, also known as FC Cologne in English, is a professional football club from Cologne, Germany. It was created in 1948 when two older clubs, Kölner Ballspiel-Club 1901 and SpVgg Sülz 07, joined together.

The team plays its home games at the RheinEnergieStadion. FC Köln has won the German national championship three times. They won the 1962 German football championship and the Bundesliga twice, in 1963–64 and 1977–78. For the 2024–25 season, FC Köln will play in the 2. Bundesliga, after being moved down from the top league.

The club's nickname is Die Geißböcke, which means "The Billy Goats." This name comes from their real-life mascot, a male goat named Hennes. The first Hennes was a gift from a circus owner as a joke during the Cologne carnival. The current mascot is Hennes IX, who took over in 2019. Another local nickname for the club is Effzeh, which is how people in Cologne say "FC."

Like many German football clubs, 1. FC Köln is part of a bigger sports club. It also has teams for sports like handball, table tennis, and gymnastics. With over 100,000 members, 1. FC Köln is one of the largest sports clubs in Germany.

Club History

How the Club Started

Kolner BC

Before 1. FC Köln was formed, there were two main clubs. Kölner BC started on June 6, 1901. Its members were young men who loved football more than gymnastics. Kölner BC won the Westdeutsche championship in 1912. They even played in the national finals that year.

The other club was Spielvereinigung 1907 Köln-Sülz, started in 1907. In 1919, it merged with another club to become SpVgg. They won the Westdeutscher title in 1928. Both clubs played in the top leagues of their time. In 1948, these two clubs decided to join forces. This created the new club we know today as 1. FC Köln.

This chart shows how 1. FC Köln has performed in the league over the years.

After the two clubs merged in 1948, 1. FC Köln started playing in the Oberliga West in 1949. By 1954, they won their first league championship. In the same year, they played in the DFB-Pokal final but lost.

In 1960, they won their second championship and reached the national final. They won the 1962 national final by beating 1. FC Nürnberg 4–0. This win allowed them to play in the 1962–63 European Cup. They lost in the first round. In 1963, they reached the national final again but lost to Borussia Dortmund.

Bundesliga Champions

In 1963, 1. FC Köln was chosen as one of the first 16 teams for the new professional German league, the Bundesliga. They became the very first Bundesliga champions in the 1963–64 season.

As champions, Köln played in the 1964–65 European Cup. They met Liverpool in the quarter-finals. After two draws, a third game was played, which also ended in a draw. Since there were no penalty shootouts back then, the winner was decided by a coin toss. Köln lost the coin toss and was out of the competition.

The club also made history by signing Zézé, their first Brazilian player. In 1965, they finished second in the Bundesliga. In 1968, they won their first DFB-Pokal (German Cup).

In the 1970s, Köln reached the DFB-Pokal final three times but lost each one. However, they won the DFB-Pokal again in 1977. The 1977–78 season was their most successful. They won both the Bundesliga title and the DFB-Pokal. This means they achieved "the double," a rare feat in German football.

Köln won the DFB-Pokal for a fourth time in 1983. In 1986, they reached their first European final, the UEFA Cup Final, but lost to Real Madrid. They also finished second in the Bundesliga in 1989 and 1990. This marked the end of a very successful thirty-year period for the club.

Recent Years: Ups and Downs

Since the 1990s, the club's performance has been mixed. They have often moved between the first and second divisions of German football. This is why they are sometimes called a "yo-yo team."

In 1998, the club was moved down from the Bundesliga for the first time. They returned to the Bundesliga in 2005 after winning the 2. Bundesliga. However, they were moved down again in 2006.

In 2006, former coach Christoph Daum returned and helped the club get back to the Bundesliga in 2008. Star player Lukas Podolski also returned to the team in 2009.

The club faced financial challenges and more ups and downs in the 2010s. They were moved down again in 2012. However, a new board of directors and coaching team helped turn things around. Under coach Peter Stöger, Köln won the 2. Bundesliga in 2014 and returned to the top division. They had several good seasons, finishing fifth in 2017. This allowed them to qualify for the Europa League, a European competition, after 25 years.

After returning to Europe, the team had a tough time. They finished last in the 2017–18 Bundesliga season and were moved down again. They quickly returned to the Bundesliga in 2019.

In March 2023, the club faced a transfer ban from FIFA. This meant they could not sign new players for two transfer windows. The ban was because of a dispute over signing a young player, Jaka Čuber Potočnik. The club appealed the decision, but the ban was upheld. In the 2023–24 Bundesliga season, Köln finished near the bottom of the table and was moved down to the 2. Bundesliga once more.

Stadium

1. FC Köln plays its home matches at the Müngersdorfer Stadion. It is also called the RheinEnergieStadion because of a sponsorship deal. The stadium can hold almost 50,000 fans. Most fans still call it "Müngersdorfer Stadion," after the area where it is located.

The club also owns its training center, called Geißbockheim. It is now known as RheinEnergieSportpark due to sponsorship. This center is home to the Franz-Kremer-Stadion, where the club's second team, 1. FC Köln II, plays.
