FC Eintracht Altona


Fußball-Club Eintracht Altona was an early German football club from Altona, a then independent city.
The short-lived team played a handful of seasons in the highest division of the Hamburger-Altonaer Fussballbund from 1897, until withdrawing from the German football scene one game into the second leg of the 1901/02 season. In its brief existence, the club failed to win any titles and often performed mediocre, until their last played season in which they scored no goals throughout the first leg of the competition. The club remains notable today only as being one of the founding members of the German Football Association at the restaurant Zum Mariengarten in Leipzig during 1900, where they were represented by a former team captain for SC Victoria Hamburg, Walter Sommeyer.
A now defunct team of the same name was established on the outskirts of Hamburg during the 1940's prior to the inception of the Bundesliga, and a local league club of the same name was founded in 2010, but was struck out of the league in 2014 as part of disciplinary action.

Results
