'''1. Fußball-Club Nürnberg Verein für Leibesübungen e. V.''', often called '''1. FC Nürnberg''' ({{IPA|de|ɛfˌtseː ˈnʏʁnbɛʁk}}, {{langx|en|1. Football Club Nuremberg}}), is a German [[sports club]] based in [[Nuremberg]], Bavaria. It is best known for its men's [[association football|football]] team, who currently compete in the [[2. Bundesliga]]. Founded in 1900, the club initially competed in the [[Southern German football championship|Southern German championship]], winning their first title in 1916. Their first [[List of German football champions|German championship]] was won in 1920. Before the inauguration of the [[Bundesliga]] in 1963, 1. FCN won a further 11 regional championships, including the [[Oberliga Süd]] formed in 1945, and were German champions another seven times. The club has won the Bundesliga once and the [[DFB-Pokal]] four times.

Since 1963, the club has played their home games at the [[Max-Morlock-Stadion]] in Nuremberg. Today's club has sections for boxing, handball, hockey (inline skater hockey and ice hockey), rollerblading and ice skating, swimming, skiing, and tennis.

Nürnberg hold the joint record for promotions from the various [[Promotion to the Bundesliga|second division]]s to the [[Bundesliga]] at 8 with [[Arminia Bielefeld]]. Owing to its status as a founding member of the Bundesliga while Bielefeld was not, however, Nürnberg's consequent nine relegations from the top tier are a record by itself.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bundesliga 2 records: goals, promotion and relegation for players and clubs |url=https://www.bundesliga.com/en/2bundesliga/news/bundesliga2-records-goals-promotion-relegation-players-and-clubs-16921 |website=bundesliga.com |language=en}}</ref>

==History==
===Rise of "Der Club"===
[[File:fcn1902.jpg|thumb|left|Team from 1902]]
[[File:fcn-fcb1901.jpg|thumb|left|First match against [[FC Bayern Munich]] 1901]]
1. FC Nürnberg was founded on 4 May 1900 by a group of 18 young men who had gathered at local pub Burenhütte to assemble a side committed to playing football rather than [[rugby football|rugby]], one of the other new "English" games becoming popular at the time. By 1909, the team was playing well enough to win the South German championship. After World War I, Nürnberg would gradually turn their success into the dominance of the country's football. In the period from July 1918 to February 1922, the team would go unbeaten in 104 official matches. As early as 1919, they came to be referred to simply as "''Der Club''" in recognition of their skill and of their style on and off the field and would go on to become one of the nation's most widely recognized and popular teams.{{cn|date=January 2025}}

Nürnberg faced [[SpVgg Greuther Fürth|SpVgg Fürth]] in the first national championship held after the end of World War I, beating the defending champions 2–0. That would be the first of five titles ''Der Club'' would  win over the course of eight years. In each of those victories, they would shutout their opponents.

The 1922 final was contested by Nürnberg and [[Hamburger SV]] but never reached a conclusion on the pitch. The match was called on account of darkness after three hours and ten minutes of play, drawn at 2–2. The re-match also went into extra time, and in an era that did not allow for substitutions, that game was called at 1–1 when Nürnberg was reduced to just seven players and the referee ruled [[Association football#Players, equipment, and officials|incorrectly]] the club could not continue. The [[German Football Association]] (DFB) awarded the win to Hamburger SV under the condition that they renounce the title in the name of "good sportsmanship", and ultimately the Viktoria trophy was not officially awarded that year.

===After the glory years===
1. FCN's dominance was already beginning to fade when they captured their final trophy of the era in 1927 as the game began to evolve into a more quickly paced contest which did not suit their slower, more deliberate approach. In 1934, they lost in the final to [[FC Schalke 04|Schalke 04]], a club that would go on to become the strongest side in the era of football in [[Nazi Germany]]. Nürnberg won national titles just before and after [[World War II]] in 1936 and 1948 – in the first post-war national final – and would also take the Tschammerpokal, the forerunner of today's [[DFB-Pokal]], in 1935 and 1939.

===Into the modern era===
{{More citations needed|date=December 2024}}
[[File:Nurnberg Performance Chart.png|300px|thumb|Historical chart of Nürnberg league performance]]
The post-war period began with the club being integrated into the [[Oberliga Süd (1945–63)|Oberliga Süd]], one of the five top divisions in West-Germany at the time. Nürnberg won this league six times until 1963, winning the national championship in 1948. In 1961, 1. FCN captured their eighth national title and appeared in a losing effort in the following year's final. Some consolation was to be had in the team capturing its second DFB-Pokal in 1962. The club's strong play made it an obvious choice to be amongst the 16 teams selected to participate in the [[Bundesliga]], Germany's new professional football league formed in 1963. ''Der Club'' played as a mid-table side through the league's early years until putting on a dominating performance in 1968, in which it sat atop the league table from the fifth week of play on to the end of the season en route to its first Bundesliga title. It went on to become the first reigning champions to be relegated from the Bundesliga.<ref name=relegation>{{cite news | url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2008/may/12/nurnberg.bundesligafootball | title=Nürnberg struggling to stay in the Bundesliga club | work=The Guardian| date= 12 May 2008 | access-date=18 September 2010}}</ref> This was a result of [[Max Merkel]]'s decision to remove his championship-winning team of veterans – believing that they were too old – in favour of a dozen newcomers.

It would take the club nine years to recover and return from the second tier (first the [[Regionalliga Süd (1963–74)|Regionalliga Süd]], then the [[2. Bundesliga South (1974–81)|2. Bundesliga Süd]]), that included several failed efforts in the promotion rounds. 1. FCN returned to the Bundesliga for a year in 1978, but finish 17th and were relegated again. The club immediately played its way back to the top flight, but since then its Bundesliga performances have typically ended in the lower positions in the league table with occasional relegations. The side's best result in recent decades was a fifth-place finish in 1988.

The early 1980s also saw the rise of a longstanding and intense friendship between the fans of Nürnberg and those of former archrival Schalke 04. Fans accompany each other's on their respective away games, and the two-season matches between the teams are generally a very laid-back and hospitable affair for all fans involved.<ref name="schalke25">[https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cq8kzx9e8l2o Schalke v Nuremberg: A tale of two German clubs and an unlikely friendship], Harry De Cosemo, [[BBC Sport]], 24 January 2025 </ref>

In the mid-1990s, Nürnberg had financial problems, including the conviction of their club treasurer [[Ingo Böbel]] for fraud and misallocating club finances.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Redelings|first=Ben|title=Der Skandal, der den Club fast zerstörte|url=https://www.n-tv.de/sport/fussball/redelings_nachspielzeit/Der-Skandal-der-den-Club-fast-zerstoerte-article23048691.html|access-date=31 January 2022|website=n-tv.de|language=de}}</ref> This led to their being penalized six points in the 1995–96 season while playing in the 2. Bundesliga. The club was relegated to the third division as a consequence. Gradual improvements were made in the subsequent seasons.

In 1999, however, 1. FCN suffered what was arguably the worst end-of-season collapse in Bundesliga history. Going into the last game of the campaign, the club sat in 12th place, three points and five goals ahead of [[Eintracht Frankfurt]] in 16th place. Nürnberg's last home game against [[SC Freiburg]], which was also facing relegation while Frankfurt was up against [[1. FC Kaiserslautern]], the previous season's champions who in a fight for a [[UEFA Champions League]] spot. FCN had already begun sending renewal letters to current season ticket holders which included statements about successfully avoiding relegation. Every other team in the equation won their matches, including Frankfurt who routed Kaiserslautern 5–1 with three late goals, whereas Nürnberg lost 2–1, with [[Frank Baumann (footballer)|Frank Baumann]] missing a chance to score in the last minute, and suffered a shock relegation.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=E-cVAAAAIBAJ&pg=3861,6344408&dq=nuremberg+relegated&hl=en | title=Nuremberg are Relegated | work=New Straits Times| date=31 May 1999 | access-date=18 September 2010}}</ref> 1. FCN was not relegated because they had fewer points than Frankfurt, nor because of a lower goal differential, but on the third tie-breaker&nbsp;– fewer goals scored.

===21st century===
1. FCN rebounded and returned to the Bundesliga, but still found itself battling with relegation in most years. However, relegation was avoided comfortably in the [[2005–06 Bundesliga|2005–06 season]], finishing eighth in the Bundesliga. After several years of consolidation, Nürnberg seemed to be back as a strong force in German football. Manager Martin Bader's work (such as the signing of former [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] captain and Czech international [[Tomáš Galásek]]), as well as head coach [[Hans Meyer (footballer)|Hans Meyer]]'s tactical awareness, helped Nürnberg to its most successful finish in almost 40 years. In May 2007, qualification for the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] was assured, and after eliminating Eintracht Frankfurt in the  semi-final, the ''Club'' won the DFB-Pokal final against [[VfB Stuttgart]] 3–2 after extra time, winning the trophy 45 years after its last victory.

In the first round of 2007–08 the team's form in the Bundesliga was poor, but due to finishing second in their [[2007–08 UEFA Cup#Group A|UEFA Cup group]] (ahead of eventual champion [[FC Zenit Saint Petersburg|Zenit Saint Petersburg]]), head coach Hans Meyer was allowed to restructure the team, for example by buying Czech international striker [[Jan Koller]] from [[AS Monaco FC|Monaco]]. Little improvement was seen, and Meyer was replaced by [[Thomas von Heesen]] after two fixtures in the second half of the season. Von Heesen did not do much better,<ref name=relegation/> and 1. FCN was relegated in 16th place after losing 2–0 at home to Schalke 04 on the final matchday.<ref name="schalke25"/> After a slow start, [[Michael Oenning]] was able to guide Nürnberg to a third-place finish and a 5–0 aggregate win over [[FC Energie Cottbus|Energie Cottbus]] in the play-off to rejoin the Bundesliga. The club was demoted again, however, after the [[2013–14 Bundesliga|2013–14 season]], finishing 17th with another final matchday loss to Schalke 04. The club finished third in the [[2015–16 2. Bundesliga|2015–16 season]] and qualified for the promotion play-off, but lost on aggregate to Eintracht Frankfurt to remain in the 2. Bundesliga for [[2016–17 2. Bundesliga|2016–17]]. The club went on to finish 2nd in [[2017–18 2. Bundesliga|2017–2018 season]], securing a promotion spot into the Bundesliga with an away win against [[SV Sandhausen]]. However, they finished bottom of the table the next season and were relegated once more.

In the [[2019–20 2. Bundesliga|2019–20 2. Bundesliga season]], they finished in 16th place and faced a relegation play-off against [[3. Liga]] side and fellow Bavarians [[FC Ingolstadt 04|Ingolstadt]]. The tie ended 3–3 on aggregate with Nürnberg winning on away goals; the goal which retained their second-tier status was scored in the sixth minute of injury time in the second leg, thereby keeping them up at the last moment.<ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.zeit.de/sport/2020-07/bundesliga-relegation-ingolstadt-nuernberg | title = 1.

==Rivals==
{{See also|Bavarian football derbies}}
[[SpVgg Greuther Fürth]] is 1. FCN's longest standing local rival. The rivalry dates back to the early days of German football when, at times, those two clubs dominated the national championship. The clubs have played 258 matches against one another, the most in German professional football. In 1921, the [[Germany national football team|Germany national team]] consisted only of players from Nürnberg and Fürth for a match against the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]] in [[Amsterdam]]. The players traveled in the same train, but with the Nürnberg players in a carriage at the front of the train and those from Fürth in a carriage at the rear, while team manager [[Georg B. Blaschke]] sat in the middle. A Fürth player scored the first goal of the match but was only congratulated by Fürth players. Allegedly, [[Hans Sutor]], a former Fürth player, was forced to leave the team when he married a woman from [[Nuremberg]]. He was later signed by 1. FC Nürnberg and was in the team that eventually won three national championships.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.greuther-fuerth.de/v3/chronik/derby.php |title=Die Geschichte des Frankenderbys |access-date=1 October 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927210553/http://www.greuther-fuerth.de/v3/chronik/derby.php |archive-date=27 September 2007 }} {{in lang|de}}</ref> Both clubs played together in the Bundesliga in 2012–13.

Games against [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] are usually the biggest events of the season,{{according to whom|date=January 2024}} as the two clubs are the most successful in [[Bavaria]] and Germany overall.

==Reserve team==
{{Main|1. FC Nürnberg II}}
The ''1. FC Nürnberg II'' (or ''1. FC Nürnberg Amateure'') qualified for the [[Regionalliga Süd (1994–2012)|Regionalliga Süd]] on the strength of a third place in the [[Bayernliga]] (IV) in 2007–08. The team had been playing in the Bayernlig since 1998, finishing runners-up three times in those years. When not playing in the Bayernlig, the team used to belong to the [[Landesliga Bayern-Mitte]]. Nowadays, it plays in tier four [[Regionalliga Bayern]].

==Honours==
''Der Club'' boasted{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} the title of ''Deutscher Rekordmeister'' as holder of the most championships for over 60 years (although occasionally having to share the honour with [[FC Schalke 04|Schalke 04]]) before being overtaken by [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] in 1987.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fcn.de/en/club/about/|title=1. FC Nürnberg: About|website=fcn.de|access-date=10 September 2019}}</ref>

Germany honours its Bundesliga champions by allowing them to display the [[Star (sport badge)|gold stars]] of the "Verdiente Meistervereine"&nbsp;– one star for three titles, two stars for five and three stars for ten. However, currently,{{when|date=January 2024}} only titles earned since 1963 in the Bundesliga are officially recognized. Despite winning the national title nine times, Nürnberg&nbsp;– the country's second-most successful side&nbsp;– is not entitled to sport any championship stars.

[[File:Frankenstadion.jpg|thumb|Max-Morlock-Stadion in August 2006]]
"Der Club" plays in the communally-owned Max-Morlock-Stadion. It has been the club's home since 1963,<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.fcn.de/en/stadium/history/ | title=From 'Municipal Stadium' to the easyCredit Stadium | access-date=18 September 2010 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101123173701/http://www.fcn.de/en/stadium/history/ | archive-date=23 November 2010 | df=dmy-all }}</ref> and currently has a capacity of 50,000 spectators following the stadium's most recent expansion during the winter break of the [[2009–10 Bundesliga|2009–10 season]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.nordbayern.de/sport/neue-nordkurve-des-nurnberger-stadions-ist-fertig-1.684671 | title=Nürnbergs neue Nordkurve ist fertig | language=de | date=21 January 2010 | access-date=30 August 2019 }}</ref> The club previously played its matches at the ''Zabo'' (an abbreviation of Zerzabelshof, the district in which the ground was located).

The stadium was built in 1928 and was known as Stadion der Hitler-Jugend from 1933 to 1945.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} then as the Frankenstadion (Franconia Stadium). Originally having a capacity of 40,000 spectators, it was expanded in 1965 to hold 65,000 and subsequently hosted the [[1967 European Cup Winners' Cup Final|1967 Cup Winners' Cup final]] between [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] and [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]], won 1–0 by the German side. The facility was refurbished for the [[1974 FIFA World Cup]] and another renovation allowed it to seat 45,000 for four preliminary round matches and one Round of 16 contest of the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]].

The Frankenstadion bore the commercial name "[[Grundig]] Stadion" from 2012 under an arrangement with a local company. The majority of the fans were in favour of renaming it after club legend [[Max Morlock]]. Morlock's name was finally used in 2017.

A feasibility study was commissioned by the club in the 2010s over the possibility of constructing a new stadium, with contact made with potential partners.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stadionwelt.de/sw_stadien/index.php?head=Club-Neues-Stadion-bis-2020&folder=sites&site=news_detail&news_id=9298|title=Club: Neues Stadion bis 2020?|website=stadionwelt.de|access-date=10 September 2019|archive-date=15 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200315132212/https://www.stadionwelt.de/sw_stadien/index.php?head=Club-Neues-Stadion-bis-2020&folder=sites&site=news_detail&news_id=9298|url-status=dead}}</ref> It would be built on the same site and hold a capacity of 50,000 spectators.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nordbayern.de/nuernberger-nachrichten/nuernberg/club-will-2015-plane-fur-neue-arena-vorlegen-1.1596727|title=Club will 2015 Pläne für neue Arena vorlegen|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111022125034/http://www.nordbayern.de/nuernberger-nachrichten/nuernberg/club-will-2015-plane-fur-neue-arena-vorlegen-1.1596727|archive-date=22 October 2011|access-date=10 September 2019}}</ref> However, the club never announced any official plans for a new stadium and no major changes had been made by 2024, in which Nuremberg was overlooked as a host city for the [[UEFA Euro 2024]] tournament held in Germany.<ref>[https://stadiumdb.com/news/2023/12/euro_2024_what_has_changed_in_germany_in_terms_of_stadiums_since_the_2006_world_cup EURO 2024: What has changed in Germany in terms of stadiums since the 2006 World Cup?] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250128102452/https://stadiumdb.com/news/2023/12/euro_2024_what_has_changed_in_germany_in_terms_of_stadiums_since_the_2006_world_cup |date=28 January 2025 }}, Kuba Kowalski, StadiumDB, 12 December 2023</ref>
