The tradition of Hannover 96
Hannover 96, founded on April 12, 1896, has a long and eventful history and is considered one of the traditional clubs in German football. Their motto “¡NUNCA SOLO!” (Never alone) shows the close connection to her fans. The club's greatest successes include the titles as German champions in 1938 and 1954 as well as the DFB Cup victory in 1992. In the recent past, Hannover 96 has established itself in the Bundesliga, with the fans' memories of participating in the Europa League in 2011/12 and 2012/13 being particularly vivid, for example when they met the really big challengers in the quarter-finals.
The Bundesliga, founded in 1963, is the highest league in German football. And football? This is the most popular sport in this country with over 6.5 million members organized in more than 27,000 clubs. Football as such has its origins in England in the 19th century and came to Germany through many different influences and developments. The stadiums in this country are internationally highly rated, and the German national team has won an impressive four world championship titles, although the recent successes and the fanatical fan culture do not go unnoticed.
