Eintracht Frankfurt e. V.
Eintracht Frankfurt is one of German football’s most dynamic, historic, and passionately supported clubs, based in Frankfurt am Main, Hesse. Universally known as "Die Adler" (The Eagles), the club competes in the top tier of German football, the Bundesliga, and plays its home matches at the iconic Deutsche Bank Park (historically known as the Waldstadion), famous across Europe for its intense, electric atmosphere.
Founded in 1899 through a series of mergers of local football clubs, Eintracht traditionally plays in red, black, and white colors. The club established itself as a national power by winning the German championship in 1959. A year later, Frankfurt featured in what is widely regarded as one of the greatest football matches of all time—the 1960 European Cup Final at Hampden Park, where they finished as runners-up to Real Madrid in a legendary 7-3 spectacle.
Renowned globally for its cup pedigree and spectacular European nights, Eintracht's trophy cabinet features five DFB-Pokal victories and two UEFA Cup / Europa League titles. Their historic European triumph in 2022—capturing the UEFA Europa League undefeated under Oliver Glasner—cemented the Eagles' status as a formidable force on the continental stage, backed by one of the most traveled and vocal fanbases in modern football.
Eintracht Frankfurt maintains intense regional rivalries across Hesse and neighboring states, most notably against local rivals Kickers Offenbach, Darmstadt 98, and Mainz 05 in the Rhine-Main derby.
