About FC Viktoria Köln

FC Viktoria Köln is a German football club from the Höhenberg district on the right bank of the Rhine in Cologne. It traces its history to FC Germania Kalk, founded on 1 July 1904, which through several mergers became VfR Köln 04 and, in 1949, SC Rapid Köln. In 1957 Rapid merged with SC Preußen Dellbrück to form SC Viktoria 04 Köln.

In 1963 the city chose Viktoria as its representative in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup; it beat Ferencváros 4–3 at home but lost the return leg 4–1 and went out. The club played in the 2. Bundesliga from 1978 to 1981, finishing fourth in 1979–80, its best result.

After a merger with SC Brück in 1994 and later financial trouble, a new club, FC Viktoria Köln, was founded on 22 June 2010 and took over the youth teams of the insolvent SCB Viktoria Köln. It rose through the leagues and now plays in the 3. Liga at the Sportpark Höhenberg.
