FC Eintracht Altona

Fußball-Club Eintracht Altona was an early German football club from Altona, a then independent city.

The short-lived team played a handful of seasons in the Hamburger-Altoner Fussballbund beginning in 1897 until disappearing from the German football scene after withdrawing from play part way through 1902. In its short existence FCE never enjoyed a winning season (13 wins, 1 draw and 35 losses alltime). The club is notable only as a founding member of the German Football Association (Deutscher Fussball Bund or German Football Association) at Leipzig in 1901.
