[edit] Overview
The team was formed on May 30, 1907 as the football department of the gymnastics club Memminger Turnvereins 1859 and became independent in the fall of that year. They re-joined TV on February 14, 1919 before regaining their independence in March 1924 as FC Memmingen 07 Verein für Rasensport und Leibesübungen. The association later adopted its current name, FC Memmingen 07 Verein für Leibesübungen.
Prior to World War II the team captured seven local titles at various levels of play. In 1933 it took part in qualification play for the Gauliga Bayern, one of sixteen new top-flight divisions formed in the re-organization of German football under the Third Reich, but dropped a 2:3 decision to BC Augsburg. Following the war FC spent more than 30 years in the Oberliga Bayern (IV) as a mid-to-lower table side. The club's most successful season was 1996-97 when they came within a hairsbreadth of advancing to the Regionalliga Süd (III). Memmingen held a 3:2 lead in a promotion playoff versus Kickers Offenbach when the stadium floodlights failed, bringing the match to a premature halt. Offenbach won the subsequent re-play and advanced to the Regionalliga.
In 2007, FC Memmingen celebrated its centennary and has inaugurate its refurbished Stadion an der Bodenseestraße with an Allgäu derby match against FC Kempten in front of 6,650 spectators[1].
