Founded in 1946, Kickers Emden has spent much of its history in the upper amateur and lower professional ranks, being a mainstay of the old Oberliga and Regionalliga.

They are known for a hard-working, physical style and have a loyal, weather-hardened fan base that creates a formidable home advantage.
