Original 16 Bundesliga Teams: Where Are They Now?

From the 1997 Champions League winners Borussia Dortmund to Regionalliga Südwest side Saarbrücken, HITC Sevens takes a look at the very first Bundesliga table from the 1963 - 1964 season and where those clubs are now.

Great video but could've mentioned that Saarbrücken has had an incredible run in the German DFB Cup this season and reached the semi final

[@yusufkassim8236]

Hey Alfie, I just thought of a cracking idea for a video you could do on the turbulent recent history of Goztepe in the Super Lig. They’re one of the Super Lig’s most well supported clubs (a bit like a Newcastle United, Sunderland or Strasbourg if you may). In the 2001/02 season, they finished seventh in the top flight, however from 2002 to 2008, they were relegated five times in six seasons, due to their inability to reduce their outstanding debt which resulted in the football club being banned from signing new players during that time. In August of 2007, a business based in Istanbul, vowed to take them back to the top flight making them one of the top five clubs in the country, but they were met with lots of suspicions from the fan base, and then they handed over the ownership to another bloke called Mehmet Sepil in 2014. Anyway, they’re back in the Super Lig as a solid mid table/weaker top half team. Why am I bringing all this up? Because apparently Abramovich is looking to possibly buy the club himself, after being sanctioned from the UK. It’s a crazy crazy story and may you could look into this, not to mention, they are not only a rare example of a club that is considered a neighbourhood club, as well as the fact that they’ve played in 3 different stadiums since 2011, but also in 1969, they became the first Turkish football team to play a semi-final of a European competition.

[@BxlHoppr]

If you are reading this comment, I jus want to let you know an interesting fact about german language : instead of writing '1st'/'2nd'/'3rd', when you want to rank, in german you write the number followed by a point. As you can see "2. Bundesliga" and "3. Liga" can be translated as "2nd Bundesliga" and "3rd Liga". There are also some clubs in germany that are self-named first like "1. FC Cologne/Köln" meaning they were the first club of the town. Here, Köln club's name can be translated in "first football club of Cologne". It's that simple. Don't hesitate to correct me if I've done grammar errors.
