1. FC Kaiserslautern

1. FC Kaiserslautern

1. FC Kaiserslautern, founded in 1900 and based in Kaiserslautern, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, is one of German football's most romanticised clubs. The club plays at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion, named after their greatest legend, with a capacity of 49,327. Die Roten Teufel (The Red Devils) have won four Bundesliga titles (1951, 1953, 1991, 1998), with the 1997-98 championship being the most extraordinary — achieved as a freshly promoted side, an unprecedented feat in Bundesliga history. They also won the DFB-Pokal in 1990 and 1996. After financial difficulties led to relegations into the third and even fourth tier, Kaiserslautern fought back, returning to the 2. Bundesliga in 2022 and reaching the DFB-Pokal Final in 2024, rekindling the passion of their large, devoted fanbase.
