Augsburg derby

The Augsburg derby (German: Augsburger Derby) is an association football game between TSV Schwaben Augsburg and BC Augsburg and, in more recent times, a game between Schwaben Augsburg and FC Augsburg, all three clubs based in the Bavarian city of Augsburg. In 1969 the football department of Schwaben merged with BCA to form FC Augsburg, putting a temporary halt on the derby games. Schwaben soon reformed its football department and the two sides eventually met again at league level in 1981. Since 2001 the fortunes of the two clubs have vastly differed with FCA reaching the Bundesliga in 2011 while Schwaben dropped as far as the seventh tier Bezirksliga Schwaben Süd. In May 2024 the football team of TSV 1847 Schwaben Augsburg acheaved fourth tier Regionalliga Bayern.
