Fußball-Club Ingolstadt 04 e.V., commonly known as simply FC Ingolstadt 04, is a German football club based in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. The club was founded in 2004 out of the merger of the football sides of two other clubs: ESV Ingolstadt and MTV Ingolstadt.<\/P>
In 2004–05, newly formed FC Ingolstadt began play in the Oberliga Bayern (IV) and managed to finish second in their first season. Their success continued in 2005–06 when they captured the divisional title and won promotion. They finished their debut Regionalliga Süd (III) campaign 2006–07 with a fifth-place result. League restructuring was planned for the 2008–09 season with the introduction of a national 3rd division and FC would have to finish their 2007–08 Regionalliga season in the top 10 to qualify. They exceeded that goal by finishing second and advancing to the 2. Fußball-Bundesliga.<\/P>
Ingolstadt won its debut second division match, but the following months proved less successful for the club and by the mid-winter break they had dropped to 12th place. The latter half of the season proved even worse with the club only realizing 1 win in 18 matches. They finished the season in 17th place and were subsequently relegated to the 3. Liga.<\/P>
FC delivered a steady performance in third division play and ended their campaign in third place. A new promotion\/relegation format accompanied the introduction of the 3. Liga and the club's finish earned them a play-off versus Hansa Rostock which had finished in 16th (third last) place in the 2. Bundesliga. Ingolstadt won both legs of the two match play-off and returned to the second division alongside the top two third tier teams which advanced automatically by virtue of their finishes.<\/P>
On 17 May 2015, they clinched the 2014–15 2. Bundesliga title and won promotion for the first time in their history to the Bundesliga.<\/P>","225C92AE74DAA9E1":"","897935219FCA7602F9B43DB32E1C5172":"33","339EB2C6C5868AED":"954171","2B1A74B80063A830":"1","F7CA086F6FC0A17A":"1","F4AE865DDB6B58D9":"FC Ingolstadt 04","06E668E1105E4EF9":"info@fcingolstadt.de","F606F62A92BA396C":"25.11","9754084DD0876A005F0B42622346E4ED":"15,800","6CBD8279C339CCCF54A0D29E3D6C8EB5FF3529A25124E9FE":"1","2B4ACB3EB27556A3FE660F17C4669146":"FC Ingolstadt 04","3FFCEA12D25AA01C8516DF9EE5709D08":"Munchen 1860,FC Nurnberg,Nurnberg B,SpVgg Bayern Hof","B3A1095C9EE738B3CCDF37762874FE45":"Germany","1BB493FD74CF319A87F0858D78A18D01":"1969-12-29","938F319A1A9FBD67080C39FAAF431E58":"2023-4-6","90024ADA60E09BCFED2A04F0D0E07833":"","A09213A762233EEF":"Ingolstadt","6CBD8279C339CCCFFA070A7B102F2A71":"0","8C128606F1271EBD3FC32654DF08FF79":"Am Pulverl 585051 Ingolstadt","2210DCFB4B70D5C2283BA211E9A76EA6":"","DC9241C78561BCD0":"FC Ingolstadt 04","986B9FBD3D7404D8":"Michael Kollner","4D3C7A28520A4F75446344604C77A51F":"
