1. FC Kaiserslautern

1. FC Kaiserslautern is a German sports club based in Kaiserslautern, Rhineland-Palatinate, whose roots go back to the merger of Germania 1896 and FG Kaiserslautern on 2 June 1900, and which took its current name in 1933. The club's home ground is the Fritz-Walter-Stadion, named in 1985 after Fritz Walter, and it is known colloquially as K'lautern or Lautern. As a founding member of the Bundesliga, it played in the top division uninterrupted from 1963 to 1996 and has won four German championships, two DFB-Pokals and one DFL-Supercup. Its honours include reaching the Champions League quarter-finals in 1999 and playing in the UEFA Cup semi-finals twice, and after promotion back to the 2. Bundesliga in 2022 the club continued to compete at that level.
