About Frankfurt XI

The Frankfurt XI was a representative football team of the West German city of Frankfurt am Main, put together for the first Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1955–58. Only one team from each trade-fair city was allowed to take part, so Frankfurt entered a combined side instead of one of its clubs.

The Frankfurt XI played in a group with the London XI and the Basel XI. It played its home matches at the Stadion am Bornheimer Hang and the Riederwaldstadion.

Frankfurt lost 3–2 at Wembley, beat Basel 5–1 and London 1–0 at home, and lost 6–2 in Basel. It finished behind the London XI, which won the group and went through to the semi-finals.
