FC Astoria Walldorf is a German association football club from the town of Walldorf, Baden-Württemberg. The club is named after Johann Jacob Astor, who was born in Walldorf in 1763 and later emigrated to the United States where he became a successful businessman. His descendants, founders of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, generously supported the town of Walldorf and the new football club, formed in 1908, was named ''Astoria'' in his honour.〔(Warum heißen die so? Heute: FC Astoria Walldorf ) Fussball.de, published: 8 December 2011, accessed: 9 December 2011〕 ==History== The club was formed on 15 February 1995 through the union of the ''1. FC 08 Walldorf'' and the football department of ''SG Walldorf Astoria 02''. The new club advanced to the Verbandsliga Nordbaden (V) in 2001. Winning the Verbandsliga in 2007, the club was promoted to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. Like ''TSG 1899 Hoffenheim'' the club is supported by Dietmar Hopp, the founder of software maker SAP. Hopp initiated negotiations to merge ''FC Astoria Walldorf'', ''TSG Hoffenheim'', and ''SV Sandhausen'' to create ''FC Heidelberg 06'' with the long-term objective of reaching the Bundesliga, Germany's first division league. The talks were abandoned in 2005 due to the resistance of the latter two clubs, and the failure to agree on whether the new side's stadium should be located in Heidelberg or Eppelheim. A North Baden Cup win in 2013–14 earned the club the right to enter the first round of the 2014–15 DFB-Pokal, the German Cup, for the first time. In the same season the club also won the Oberliga title and earned promotion to the tier four Regionalliga Südwest for the first time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FC Astoria Walldorf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
