Formed in 1948 through a merger of Kölner BC 01 and SpVgg Sülz 07, the club counts well over 100,000 members. Nicknamed the Billy Goats, or Geißböcke, after their live goat mascot Hennes, they play home matches at the Müngersdorfer Stadion in Cologne.

Few clubs match the passion of the Effzeh faithful.
