Overview
FC Schalke 04 in brief
Founded in 1904, Schalke 04 come from the Schalke district of Gelsenkirchen and are deeply rooted in the mining culture of the Ruhr. Known as Die Koenigsblauen, or the Royal Blues, they play in royal blue and white and have one of Germany's largest supporter bases. Their home is the Veltins-Arena, opened in 2001 with a retractable roof and a removable pitch.
Schalke won seven German championships before the Bundesliga was created, five DFB-Pokals and the 1997 UEFA Cup. The dominant teams of the 1930s and 1940s were associated with the Schalker Kreisel, a short-passing style led by Fritz Szepan and Ernst Kuzorra. The 1997 side, remembered as the Eurofighters, defeated Inter Milan on penalties and renewed the club's European identity through discipline and collective resilience.
