Borussia Monchengladbach is one of the most loved underdog teams of the Bundesliga. Founded in 1900 by a group of 13 men in the industrial city of Monchengladbach, the club stands tall among the other mid-table clubs in the German top flight. The ‘Borussia’ in Borussia Monchengladbach is a gentle nod to its Prussian roots, as the city was a part of the Kingdom of Prussia at that time. ‘Borussia’ is the Latin word for Prussia. The club shone the brightest in the 1970s, when they won five Bundesliga titles and the UEFA Cup (now Europa League) twice with players like Günter Netzer and Jupp Heynckes in their ranks. Borussia Mochengladbach stadium is Borussia-Park, which sees an attendance of almost 54,000 on matchdays. They finished 10th last season and have started the new season with a win and a draw. Borussia Monchengladbach are looking to steady their ship in the new season by focusing on youth development and deploying an attacking brand of football.

Borussia Monchengladbach History & Key Facts

Let's take a look at Borussia Monchengladbach history. The club was formed by a group of 13 men in 1899 after they separated themselves from a sports association named TC Germania Gladbach. They chose the word ‘Borussia’ as the initial title for the team because of the city's location in the western province of the Kingdom of Prussia. The club had a lot of logistical struggles in the initial days, as they didn't have a proper home ground, goalposts, changing rooms, or player equipment. Therefore, they joined hands with the Marianische Jünglings-Kongregation Mönchengladbach Eicken (German for "Marian Youth Congregation Mönchengladbach Eicken"). The players within this association further reformed to form the Fussball Club Borussia on 1st August, 1900, which is the official founding date of the club.

The club formed further associations down the line, ultimately settling with a local club named Turnverein Germania 1889 in 1919. Their first major trophy came in 1920, when they won the Western German Championship. In 1921, the association fell apart, and the club got its name, Borussia VfL 1900 e.V. Monchengladbach, which has been used to date. Borussia Mochengladbach gained promotion for the first time to the German top flight in 1965, which remains an important moment in Borussia Monchengladbach history. The club's golden era came in the 1970s, when they tasted success both in domestic and European tournaments under then-manager Hennes Weisweiler.
