FC Bayern Alzenau is a German football club based in Alzenau, Bavaria.

History

The club was initially formed as "Alzenauer Fußball Club" and joined gymnastics club "Turn- und Sport Alenzau" as that club's football department on September 16, 1922 before again becoming independent in 1923 as "FC Bayern Alzenau". After World War II the club was re-established as "SKG Alzenau" before again taking on its pre-war name in 1947.

Since 1983 the club has played as a fifth tier side, first in the Landesliga Bayern-Nord and later in the Landesliga Hessen-Süd. Like the nearby club "Viktoria Aschaffenburg", "Alzenau" is a Bavarian side playing in the state league of Hesse against closer, neighbouring cities. This also reflects in part the history of the region, not traditionally part of Bavaria. The club slipped as low as the Bezirkliga Gelnhausen (VII) in 1998 before working its way back up. The team enjoyed its greatest sporting success with promotion to the Oberliga Hessen (IV) in 2006 after a second place Landesliga finish and subsequent advance through the promotion playoffs.
