LeagueHamburger-Altonaer Fussballbund

Fußball-Club Eintracht Altona was an early German football club from Altona, then an independent city near Hamburg. The short-lived club is notable as one of the founding members of the German Football Association (Deutscher Fußball Bund) in 1900 in Leipzig, where they were represented by a former team captain[1] of SC Victoria Hamburg, Walter Sommeyer (also written Sommeier).[2][3]

Beginning in 1897, FC played a handful of seasons in the highest division of the Hamburger-Altonaer Fussballbund, until withdrawing one game into the second leg of the 1901/02 season. During its brief existence, the club performed poorly and was unable to score a goal in its abbreviated final campaign.

Unrelated clubs using the same name were established in the 1940s[4] and again in 2010. The latter side was removed from the league in 2014 as part of disciplinary action.[5]
