Based in the historic spa city of Aachen on the Belgian-Dutch border, they play in the famous black, yellow and red at the New Tivoli - a 32,960-capacity ground opened in 2009 that replaced the old Tivoli on Krefelder Strasse, home to Aachen football since 1928. The club's golden hour came in 2003\/2004, when they lost the DFB-Pokal final 3-2 to Werder Bremen and went on to reach the UEFA Cup as a second-division side, beating Saint-Étienne along the way!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2018\/2019 season, in which this traditional home shirt was worn, was Aachen's fourth in the German fifth tier - the Regionalliga West - following the financial collapse and forced relegation from the 3. Liga back in 2012. Under head coach Fuat Kılıç, the Black-Yellows finished 6th in the table, well behind champions Viktoria Köln, who pipped Rot-Weiß Oberhausen to the title on the final matchday to seal promotion to the 3. Liga.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was, on the whole, a quietly stable mid-table campaign in which Aachen consolidated as one of the Regionalliga West's bigger sides without ever truly threatening the promotion places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tivoli, though, continue to draw four and five-figure crowds week after week, which served as a reminder that Aachen, for all their post-2012 troubles, remained a sleeping giant of German football.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the club on X: @Alemannia_AC\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Surprise Shirts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55565519552888,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/5564\/9221\/files\/AlemanniaAachen2018_2019HomeShirt.jpg?v=1779203260","url":"https:\/\/surpriseshirts.co.uk\/products\/alemannia-aachen-2018-2019-home-shirt","provider":"Surprise Shirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
