History and achievements
With the foundation date of 1905 FC Mainz is one of the oldest clubs in Germany. In 1920s it showed high quality football and achieved significant results in Hessen division and in 1932 and 1933 became the champion. After reorganization of German football structure FC Mainz joined the south-west Gauliga, which used to be one of 6 regional leagues. The team wasn’t competitive enough though and was relegated after the first season.
After the end of the war Mainz kept on playing in south-west division of Oberliga, being a strong side there. After Bundesliga formation Mainz stagnated in Bundesliga 2 for 40 years.
It was not until 2004 that the club failed to get a raise to top German division despite three challenges in 1997, 2002 and 2003. Jurgen Klopp was the manager to help them advance.
Andrei Voronin, Emil Kostadinov, Maruis Niculae, Blaise Nkufo, Aristide Bance, Peter Neustadter, Andreas Ivanschitz, Mohamed Zidan and Milorad Pekovic made an impact to Mainz’s performance.
Such club’s achievements as appearance in Bundesliga 1 in 2004, participation in the UEFA Cup in 2005 and runner-up position in Bundesliga 2 in 2009 are worth mentioning.
