FC Kempten is German association football club based in Kempten, Bavaria.

History

The team was established in 1903 as the football department of gymnastics club Männerturnvereins Kempten. In 1907 the parent association merged with two other local gymnastics clubs to form Turnverein 1856 Kempten and on 21 September 1908 the footballers went their own way as an independent side known as Fußball Club Kempten. The footballers briefly re-joined TV in 1923, but resumed their independence two years later.

Following World War II FC Kempten played in the Amateurliga Bayern-Süd (III) between 1957 and 1963 where they earned mid-table results. As a result of league restructuring in 1963 they slipped to fourth tier play in the Landesliga Bayern-Süd. Over the next several decades Kempten played as an unremarked side in fourth and fifth tier competition. In 1999 the club emerged as the champions of the Landesliga Süd (V) and won promotion to the Oberliga Bayern (IV) for a two season long turn. They won their way back to the Oberliga in 2005, finishing second in the Landesliga, and were immediately relegated, but have returned for the 2007–08 campaign, when a last place finish in the Bayernliga meant relgation once more. In 2008–09, the club declined further, suffering relegation to the Bezirksoberliga, followed by relegation to the Bezirksliga in 2010. The team dropped to a new low for the 2011-12 season with its relegation to the Kreisliga Schwaben-Süd after a loss in the relegation play-off. They had to stay at this level for only one season before a Kreisliga championship took it back up a level, back to the Bezirksliga, from where it was relegated again straight away.

FC Kempten plays its home matches in the Illerstadion, opened on 15 August 1963. After renovations in 2000 the facility has a capacity of 9,000 spectators (720 seats).

Rivals

The TSV Kottern is FC Kempten's biggest local rival, being also based in the town of Kempten. They last faced each other in the Landesliga Bayern-Süd in the 2006–07 season, when both games ended in draws, 1–1 and 2–2. In the Schwaben Cup however, Kottern gained the upper hand, defeating the FC 6–5 on penalties after a 2–2 draw after normal time. With Kempten promoted to the Bayernliga and Kottern relegated to the Bezirksoberliga Schwaben, the FC has asserted its superiority, for now.
