About FC Augsburg

FC Augsburg is a professional football club located in Bavaria, Germany. The team competes in the Bundesliga, which is the highest division in the German football league system. Established in 1907 as Fußball-Klub Alemania Augsburg, the club changed its name to BC Augsburg from 1921 to 1969.

With a membership of over 18,800 individuals, FC Augsburg is the largest football club in Swabian Bavaria. Throughout its history, the club has experienced fluctuations between the second and third divisions, facing disappointment in the early 2000s when it was relegated to the fourth division for two seasons.

However, FC Augsburg rebounded from this setback and achieved promotion to the Bundesliga for the first time in 2011. Since then, the club has maintained its position in the top division. In the 2010s, FC Augsburg solidified its Bundesliga status, achieving a record-breaking fifth-place finish in the 2014-2015 season. The club also made its debut in European competition during the 2015-2016 UEFA Europa League, reaching the Round of 32 before being eliminated by Liverpool with a 1-0 aggregate score.

Compliance with these requirements is a crucial aspect evaluated during the DFL licensing process. It is important to note that teams in the basic area are managed separately from the junior performance structure.
