1. FC Bad Kötzting is a German association football club from the city of Bad Kötzting, Bavaria.
History
Founded on 5 May 1921 as 1. FC Kötzting, the club spent most of its existence as a lower tier side until earning promotion to the Landesliga Bayern-Mitte (V) in 1990. The club had a good second season in this league, finishing third in 1993, but it came close to relegation in 1998, when it could only come 15th.
The team came close to advancing to the Bayernliga (IV) in 2000, finishing as league vice-champions before losing on penalties to SpVgg Landshut in the promotion round. They earned promotion in 2004. The club adopted its new name in 2006 after the city changed its name in 2005. 1. FC Bad Kötzting was relegated in 2010 and the team, after this, played in the Landesliga Bayern-Mitte again. At the end of the 2011–12 season the club qualified for the promotion round to the newly expanded Bayernliga. A first round loss to FC Amberg however meant the club would remain in the Landesliga instead.[1] The club won the Landesliga Mitte in 2014 and earned promotion back to the Bayernliga. The club won promotion to the Bayernliga in 2014, after a Landesliga championship, but came only fifteenth in the league in 2014–15 and was forced to enter the promotion/relegation round where it suffered relegation after being defeated by ASV Burglengenfeld.
Bad Kötzting plays its home matches in the Stadion am Roten Steg which has a capacity of 6,000 (800 seats).
