RB Leipzig Stats & History
The rise of RB Leipzig is quite incredible. Red Bull, yes the energy drink company, decided to invest in German soccer in the mid-2000s. They settled on Leipzig as a suitable location as no team from there had played in the Bundesliga since 1994.
So, in 2009 Dietrich Mateschitz and Red Bull founded RB Leipzig and they began playing in the fifth tier of German soccer. Their goal was to play in the top division within eight years, but the odds were somewhat stacked against them.
On their first try, RB Leipzig won the NOFV–Oberliga Süd which earned them promotion to the Regionalliga Nord. Leipzig’s Zentralstadion was renamed Red Bull Arena in 2010 and the club adopted it as their home.
In the 2010-11 season, Leipzig finished fourth and missed out on promotion but won the Saxony Cup. With the win, they qualified for their first ever DFB-Pokal and knocked out Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg. After missing out on promotion again, the club hired Ralf Rangnick for the sporting director role. In 2012-13, they won promotion to the 3. Liga for the first time.
