FC Ingolstadt 04 is a German football club based in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. The club was founded in 2004 out of the merger of the football sides of two other clubs: ESV Ingolstadt and MTV Ingolstadt.
[edit] History[edit] ESV IngolstadtMain article: ESV Ingolstadt  ESV Ingolstadt (Eisenbahner-Sportverein Ingolstadt-Ringsee e.V.) was founded in 1919 as FC Viktoria. Two years later the football players of Turnverein 1861 Ingolstadt joined the club to form VfR Ingolstadt. A number of other clubs from the Ringsee district fused with this club, but to little effect. The club's achievement amounted to not more than a couple of seasons spent in the Gauliga Bayern in 1936-38. After World War II, the club was re-constituted as VfR Ingolstadt, changed its name to Erster Sportverein Ingolstadt (First Sports Club Ingolstadt) in 1951 and then changed it again to its current form in 1953 when "E" came to stand for Eisenbahner to reflect its affiliation with the railway. ESV Ingolstadt joined the Regionalliga Süd (II) in 1963 when the Bundesliga – Germany's professional football league – was formed. After bouncing between tiers II and III, capped with two seasons spent in 2nd Bundesliga Süd from 1979-81, the club began a descent through tier III to Landesliga Bayern-Süd (IV), last playing in 1993-94. The sports club itself carried on until it went bankrupt in the summer of 2004 and those football players there were left to join FC Ingolstadt 04. ESV continues to operate today offering a number of other sports activities while acknowledging FC 04 on its website. [edit] MTV IngolstadtMain article: MTV Ingolstadt  MTV Ingolstadt ( Männer-Turn-Verein von 1881 Ingolstadt) is the city's largest sportsclub with 3,400 members and has an on-and-off relationship with its football side. The club was founded in 1881 and took up football in 1905. The footballers set up a separate club in 1924, but returned to the fold in 1933 at the direction of sports authorities in the Third Reich. After World War II occupying Allied authorities ordered the dissolution of all organizations in Germany, including sporting associations. The club was re-founded as Städtischer SV Ingolstadt 1881. Their original name was restored in 1948. MTV spent two seasons in 2.Bundesliga Sud after Amateurliga Bayern champion 1. FC Hassfurt declined promotion in 1978. When ESV faced bankruptcy in 2004, MTV allowed its footballers to leave to help form FC Ingolstadt. [edit] CurrentIn 2004-05, newly formed FC Ingolstadt began play in the Oberliga Bayern (IV) and managed a credible second-place finish in their first season. Their success continued in 2005-06 when they easily captured the divisional title and won promotion. They finished their debut Regionalliga Süd (III) campaign 2006-07 in a respectable 5th place. League restructure was planned for the 2008-09 season with the introduction of a national 3rd division. FC Ingolstadt would have to finish the 2007-08 Regionalliga season in the top 10 to qualify. They topped their own ambitions by finishing second to capture their 2nd promotion in 4 years. FC Ingolstadt got off to great start in the 2nd division by leading the table after the first match. The following months proved less successful for the club and by the mid-winter break they had dropped to 12th place. The latter half of the season proved even worse with the club only realizing 1 win in 18 matches. FC Ingolstadt finished the season in 17th place and were subsequently relegated to the 3rd division. [edit] Reserve teamFC Ingolstadt II spent the 2006-07 and 2007-08 season in the Landesliga where it finished sixth and then second, resulting in promotion through a promotion round to the Oberliga for FCI's second team. They are currently coached by Joe Albersinger. [edit] Club cultureAttendance at the club's matches averaged 1400 in their first Regionalliga season. This season they have been able to attract an average of over 5800 spectators to date. Until recently, Ingolstadters tended to show more interest in longtime Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich and local ice hockey team ERC Ingolstadt. Promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga and the current dismal performance of the ice hockey team have helped raise crowds at the Tuja-Stadion. [edit] Nickname
