History

[edit]

The modern-day club was formed in 1945, when gymnastics clubTurnverein Hoffenheim(founded 1 July 1899) and football clubFußballverein Hoffenheim(founded 1921) merged. At the beginning of the 1990s, the club was a local amateur side playing in the eighth division Baden-Württemberg A-Liga.[citation needed]They steadily improved and by 1996 were competing in theVerbandsliga Nordbaden(V).

Around 2000,[vague][when?]alumnusDietmar Hoppreturned to the club of his youth as a financial backer.[citation needed]Hopp was the co-founder of software firmSAPand he put some of his money into the club. His contributions generated almost immediate results:[according to whom?][original research?]in 2000 Hoffenheim finished first in the Verbandsliga and was promoted to the fourth-tierOberliga Baden-Württemberg.[citation needed]Another first-place finish moved the club up to theRegionalliga Süd(III) for the 2001–02 season.[citation needed]They finished 13th in their first season in the Regionalliga, but improved significantly the next year, earning a fifth-place result.

Hoffenheim earned fifth and seventh-place finishes in the next two seasons, before improving to fourth in 2005–06 to earn their best result to date. The club made its firstDFB-Pokalappearance in the2003–04competition and performed well,[according to whom?]advancing to the quarter-finals by eliminating2. BundesligasidesEintracht TrierandKarlsruher SCandBundesligaclubBayer Leverkusenbefore being put out themselves by another 2. Bundesliga side,VfB Lübeck.

Negotiations to merge TSG Hoffenheim,Astoria Walldorf,andSV Sandhausento createFC Heidelberg 06in 2005 were abandoned due to the resistance of the latter two clubs, and the failure to agree on whether the new side's stadium should be located inHeidelbergorEppelheim.[citation needed]Team owner Hopp clearly[according to whom?]preferred Heidelberg, but could not overcome the resistance of local firmWild,which had already reserved the site of the planned stadium for its new production facilities.

2006–2008: Major investments, promotion to the Bundesliga

[edit]

In 2006, the club sought to improve its squad and technical staff by bringing in players with several years of Bundesliga experience, most notablyJochen SeitzandTomislav Marić,and young talents[tone]likeSejad Salihović,while signing managerRalf Rangnick,who managed Bundesliga teams such asSSV Ulm 1846,VfB Stuttgart,Hannover 96andSchalke 04,to a five-year contract. The investment paid off in the 2006–07 season with the club's promotion to the 2. Bundesliga after finishing second inRegionalliga Süd.

The2007–08 seasonwas Hoffenheim's first season in professional football.[citation needed]After a weak start with three losses and only one draw in the first four games, the team's performance improved remarkably[why?][according to whom?]and Hoffenheim climbed from 16th place on matchday four to second place on matchday 23.[citation needed]The team defended their place until the end of the season, having scored 60 points after matchday 34.[citation needed]As a result of their second-place finish, they received automatic promotion to the Bundesliga, the highest tier in German football, after playing in the 2. Bundesliga for just one season.

2008–present: Growth of the club and Champions League football

[edit]

Hoffenheim recorded a 7th-place finish in their debutseasonin theBundesliga,Germany's top division. The club's best players of the season wereVedad IbiševićandDemba Ba,who scored 18 and 14 goals respectively.[vague][6]In the2009–10 Bundesliga,the club had a less successful season, recording a finish outside of the top 10, finishing 11th.[7]The club finished in consecutive 11th places for the next two seasons.[8][9]In the2012–13 Bundesliga,the club came very close to suffering[tone]relegation, after a 16th-place finish, meaning they would have to play in therelegation play-offsto survive; the club went on to beat their opponentsKaiserslauternby a scoreline of 5–2 on aggregate overtwo legs,withRoberto Firminoscoring two goals in the first leg.[10][11][12]In the2013–14 Bundesliga,the club had strange[according to whom?]statistics; being the third best goalscoring team in the league, but also the worst defensive team, scoring 72 goals and conceding 70.[13]The club's best goalscorer of the season, also their best assist provider, was Roberto Firmino, scoring 16 goals and providing 12 assists, with the player winning theBundesliga Breakthrough Player of the Seasonaward.[vague][14][15][16]In the2014–15 Bundesliga,the club came very close to qualifying for the Europa League, with just two points separating them fromBorussia Dortmund,who were in 7th place. Despite the 8th-place finish, Hoffenheim still had agoal differenceof −6 in the 2014–15 season.[17]In the2015–16 Bundesliga,the club once again came close to suffering[tone]relegation, with just one point separating them from the relegation play-offs.[18]

In the2016–17 season,new coachJulian Nagelsmanntook over,[19]beginning to recruit several new players, includingAndrej Kramarić,Kerem DemirbayandSandro Wagner.[vague][20][21][22]Initially, the club struggled for form, with four draws in the first four games of the season,[23]before a rise in form rose the club to 3rd place in the league by the end of October.[24]On 4 April 2017, the club beatBayern Munichby a scoreline of 1–0, one of the most significant wins in the club's history.[according to whom?][25]On 21 April 2017, the club confirmed that they would play European football next season following a 1–1 draw withKöln.[26]Following a 4th-place finish in the2016–17 Bundesliga,Hoffenheim confirmedChampions Leaguefootball for the2017–18 season.[vague][27]The club were eventually[vague]drawn to playsix-timeEuropean championsLiverpoolin theplay-off round.[28][29]The club lost the first leg by a scoreline of 1–2, before a 4–2 loss in the second leg confirmed Hoffenheim's elimination from the tournament, as the club lost 3–6 on aggregate.[30][31]Due to their elimination from the play-off stages, the club would continue playing European football in theEuropa Leaguegroup stages; however, the club would suffer[tone]elimination from the tournament as they would finish bottom of their group.[clarification needed][32]

In the2017–18 Bundesliga season,Hoffenheim had a successful[according to whom?]season, finishing third, automatically qualifying for the next year's Champions League.[33]

The2018–19 seasonwas more disappointing[according to whom?]for Hoffenheim, as they finished bottom of their Champions League group with only 3 draws and 3 losses whilst playing against the likes of[tone]Manchester City,LyonandShakhtar Donetsk.This meant that they did not make it out of the group stages of a European competition again. In theBundesliga,Hoffenheim didn't fare much better, finishing a disappointing[according to whom?]9th place, 6 places below their ranking of 3rd during the 2017–18 campaign with 51 points. This was just two places and 3 points away from the Europa League qualifying rounds. In theDFB-Pokal,Hoffenheim were eliminated byRB Leipzigin a 2–0 loss with two goals fromTimo Werner.The season's top scorer wasAndre Kramarić,[clarification needed]with the Croatian finding the goal[vague]22 times in 37 appearances.

Controversy

[edit]

Criticism of the club

[edit]

Dietmar Hopp's financial support, which transformed Hoffenheim from a local amateur club into a competitive Bundesliga club, has been strongly criticised by other clubs, fans and some in the German press.[according to whom?]The main points of criticism are the club's purported lack of tradition and a historically large fanbase, as the club is a historically insignificant side from a village of just 3,300 inhabitants.[citation needed]This situation is similar[original research?]to that of now-defunct Scottish sideGretnaand German clubsVfL Wolfsburg,Bayer LeverkusenandRB Leipzig,as those teams also received large financial support; Wolfsburg is wholly owned and supported by automobile manufacturerVolkswagen,Bayer Leverkusen by pharmaceutical companyBayerand RB Leipzig byRed Bull.

On 16 August 2011, the club released a statement regarding complaints of a loudspeaker that was strategically placed under away fans during a home game against Dortmund. The loudspeaker was designed to drown out the noise of the away fans cheers and chants during the game. It was reported[by whom?]that the speaker was placed by the groundskeeper, although the club denied any involvement, saying he acted alone. It was also reported[by whom?]that the loudspeaker was used during other games, not just the home game against Dortmund.[37]

In a later statement,[when?]the club admitted that the disruptive sound assembly has been used at least five times, although club officials claim to have no knowledge of these measures.

On 29 February 2020,Bayern Munichsupporters unfurled an offensive banner[vague]aimed at Hoffenheim ownerDietmar Hopp,resulting in the match being suspended with less than 15 minutes left to play. After concerns[by whom?]that the game could be abandoned, both teams returned to finish the match, but had decided to just run down the clock to end the game in solidarity with Hopp. Rather than play on, the two teams began passing the ball between each other and chatting as if they were all teammates.

The very next day,[vague]the Bundesliga match betweenVfl Wolfsburgand1. FC Union Berlinwas stopped at the 44th minute of play due to derogatory banners once again[vague]being unfurled, one of which showed Hopp undercrosshairs.The two teams left the field and returned 10 minutes later to play out the remainder of the 1st half and subsequently the game.[38]

Partnership

[edit]

On 25 September 2020, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim signed a partnership agreement withMLSclubFC Cincinnati.[39] Hoffenheim also have a partnership agreement with a Ghana premier League side Accra Hearts Of Oak. Making it a three club value alliance on 20 September 2020.
