FC Augsburg is a German football club based in Augsburg, Bavaria. The team was founded as FC Alemannia in 1907 and played as BC Augsburg from 1921 to 1969. In the face of impending financial collapse, they merged with the football side of TSV 1847 Schwaben Augsburg in July 1969 to form FC Augsburg. Schwaben was unhappy with the result and re-formed its own football team in 1970. 1907 (MCMVII) was a common year starting on Tuesday (see link for calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Wednesday of the 13-day-slower Julian calendar). ...

Since the formation of the Bundesliga in 1963, FC Augsburg has spent most of its time in tier III leagues. They managed two seasons in the 1960s in 2.Bundesliga, and enjoyed another eight seasons at that level in the mid-70s and early 80's. When a potential investor backed out, the Deutscher Fußball-Bund (DFB or German Football Association) denied the debt-laden team a license, and as a result, the 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons were spent in the Oberliga Bayern (IV) before a return to the Regionalliga Sud (III), where the team currently plays. The club came achingly close to advancing to 2.Bundesliga in 2005, but missed their oppourtunity after giving up two goals to Jahn Regensburg in the last four minutes of their final game of the season. In the 2005-2006 season, the club has remained at the top of the Regionalliga Süd throughout the season. The club has clinched a berth in the 2.

The indifferent performance of the senior side has been offset by the success of the club's youth team, which captured a national championship and several Cup titles in the early 1990's.
