FC Eilenburg is a German association football club from the city of Eilenburg, Saxony.

History

[edit]

The association was created 1 January 1994 as the successor side to Sportverein Mörtitz. The new club joined the Landesliga Sachsen (V) on the strength of SV's Bezirksliga Sachsen (VI) title.[2] A poor 13th place finish immediately returned the side to sixth tier play where they would remain for three seasons. Playing now as FC Eilenburg, the team captured its second Bezirksliga championship in 1997 to advance to the Landesliga Sachsen (V). A Landesliga championship in 2004 saw the club promoted to the NOFV-Oberliga Süd (IV) where in their first two seasons of play they earned consecutive 12th place finishes.[3] In 2007, FC earned its best result to date time by finishing third but was relegated back to the Sachsenliga in 2009 where it played until 2016–17, gaining promotion back to the NOFV-Oberliga Süd, the fifth tier of German football.[4]

Stadium

[edit]

The club plays its home matches at the Ilburg-Stadion which was opened on 27 June 1997.[5] The stadium has a capacity of 5,600 with 443 seats, of which 253 are covered.[5]
