Overview

FC Augsburg is a German club founded in 1907 in the Bavarian city of Augsburg, located near Munich. The club has played in the Bundesliga since 2011 and disputes home matches at the WWK Arena, a modern 30,660-capacity stadium inaugurated in 2009. The Fuggerstädter (Augsburg inhabitants) represent the pride of a historic city that played a major role in European economic history.

Augsburg long played in lower divisions before experiencing a remarkable rise in the early 2010s. The club has established itself as a solid Bundesliga formation through organized defensive play and prudent management. In 2015, FCA reached the Europa League playoffs, their first and only European participation to date, a historic performance for the club.

Players like Halil Altıntop, Raúl Bobadilla, and more recently Ermedin Demirović have marked the club's recent history. Augsburg maintains a natural rivalry with other Bavarian clubs, particularly Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich. The club distinguishes itself through youth talent training and pragmatic football approach. Supporters, though fewer than German giants, create a family atmosphere at WWK Arena and faithfully support their team in their quest for Bundesliga survival.
