The golden years of Arminia Bielefeld

Arminia Bielefeld won its first Westphalian championship in 1912, which set the club on a sure course for success. After the interruption of the First World War, the team lifted the West German championship trophy for the first time but were knocked out of the national tournament in next few decades into whatever second division was in operation at any given time. Their breakthrough into the Bundesliga came in 1970, however that only lasted a year and set the tone for a club trajectory that would see them hold the record for the highest number of relegations from the Bundesliga first division, until they were relieved of this unenviable achievement by 1. FC Nürnberg. Their shining season came in 1979, when they swept away everyong facing them, losing only 8 games of 38, with 28 consecutive wins at one point. They also participated in the European Intertoto Cup during this period, making three consecutive appearances, as well as lifting the DFB Pokal trophy. Arminia Bielefeld tickets are always very popular no matter what league the team is in thanks to this proud record.

A team that still punches above its weight

This apparently did nothing to diminish their fighting spirit however, something they showed in no uncertain terms when they disposed of three Bundesliga teams in the DFB Pokal cup competition in 2014. Their scalps included SV Werder Bremen, Hertha BSC and Borussia Mönchengladbach. The team has always enjoyed higher than average spectator support, which ensures that you'll find many opportunities to trade in Arminia Bielefeld tickets during the German football season.
