FC Koln is a privately owned company headquartered in Germany, founded in 1948, employing approximately 310 individuals. The organization functions as a German Bundesliga club, active in the spectator sports sector, and is recognized as a tier 1 media tech buyer.
On February 2, 2026, 1. FC Köln loaned 18-year-old Peruvian national player Felipe Chávez from FC Bayern Munich. The deal includes a purchase option, though the record champion secured a buyback clause to void this option. Chávez, who recently made his Bundesliga debut with FC Bayern, is poised to take his first steps on Bundesliga turf with Köln. Previously, on January 30, FC Köln secured further breathing room in the Bundesliga relegation battle, earning a second consecutive home win at the start of the 20th matchday. This followed the club extending the contract of academy talent Fynn Schenten until 2030 on January 29. The 18-year-old forward made his Bundesliga debut against 1. FC Heidenheim earlier in the year.
