FIVE FACTS ABOUT SC PADERBORN 07
1. The club as we know it today formed when local rivals Schloss Neuhaus and FC Paderborn joined forces in 1985.
2. The name SC Paderborn 07 was only adopted in 1997.
3. Their shock 4-2 cup win over Hamburg in 2004 turned sour when it emerged the referee had fixed the contest in the biggest betting scandal ever to hit German football.
4. After reaching the top flight for the first time in 2014/2015, Paderborn suffered two straight relegations to drop to the third division. It would have been three in a row and the fourth if 1860 Munich hadn’t had trouble getting a licence.
5. They bounced back with two straight promotions in 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 only to go straight back down in 2019/2020. Life as a Paderborn fan is rarely dull.
