The Honours List
Modest — but with heart.
Championships and Promotions
Major titles are few, but promotions feel like championships for the fans.
Three second-division titles (1947/48, 1960/61, 1973/74), six Bavarian league titles, four Swabian cup wins. One DFB-Pokal semi-final.
Europa League 2015/16
The greatest achievement in the club's recent history.
5th Place and Europe
In 2014/15, FCA jumped to 5th in the Bundesliga — with the second-smallest squad budget of all 18 clubs.
A squad budget of around €22 million was enough for Europa League qualification. A result nobody in Augsburg had thought possible.

Augsburg in Overdrive
'When you come back from a deficit in Belgrade and score three goals, that's already a miracle,' said midfielder Dominik Kohr.
The Europa League debut in 2015/16 was a sensation. Raúl Bobadilla finished as joint group-stage top scorer on 6 goals alongside Aritz Aduriz of Athletic Bilbao.
Only Klopp Could Stop Them
In the Round of 32, Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool lay in wait.
Against Klopp's Liverpool, the run ended — but FCA had written themselves into Europa League history.
Bayern Slayers
FCA and Pep's Bayern: Two victories that will never be forgotten.
Augsburg Embarrass Pep's Bayern (2014)
On April 4, 2014, FCA showed the Bundesliga that Bayern can be beaten.
Munich had clinched the earliest title in Bundesliga history two matchdays prior. FCA exploited the complacency and won through a magnificent lob by Paraguayan striker Raúl Bobadilla.
Bobadilla Does It Again (2015)
A year later, FCA repeated the trick — another 1–0 against Bayern.
The footballing world applauded. It was Bayern's first home defeat in their title-winning season.
FCA vs. league average
The Coup in Dortmund
BVB in collective shock.
1–0 at Signal Iduna Park
On Matchday 19 of the 2014/15 season, FCA plunged Borussia Dortmund into collective shock.
The Swabian underdogs left BVB with a 1–0 home defeat. Dortmund sank deeper into a historic crisis under Klopp.
Positive Streaks
Records from the second division — and a curiosity.
Winning Streak and Unbeaten Record
Five consecutive wins in the 2. Bundesliga 2008/09 and 14 matches unbeaten in the Bavarian league 1976/77.
Longest winning streak: 5 matches (2. Bundesliga 2008/09, Matchdays 13–17). Most wins in a season: 19 (2. Bundesliga 2009/10). Longest unbeaten run: 14 matches (Bundesliga Süd 1976/77).

Biggest Bundesliga Win
4–0 and 4–1 against VfB Stuttgart — home and away.
The Bavarian Swabians against the Württemberg Swabians: hopelessly cursed for Stuttgart.
No Away Draws in 2014/15
In their Europa League season, Augsburg did not draw a single away match.
That had last happened in the Bundesliga in 2000/01 with Hertha BSC. All 17 away matches ended in either a win or a defeat.
For the Lovers — Update 2020–2026
Stability is Augsburg’s creed — and in a league in which Schalke, Werder, Hamburg and Cologne all dropped into the second tier, the little FCA’s uninterrupted life in the Bundesliga is a considerable feat.

league in which Schalke, Werder, Hamburg and Cologne all dropped into the second tier, the little FCA’s uninterrupted life in the Bundesliga is a considerable feat. Top-flight football since 2011, without interruption. All that while regularly operating with the smallest or second-smallest budget in the league.
That is no accident. That is Swabian persistence.
