About RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig are German football's great modern controversy and one of the Bundesliga's most exciting success stories. Founded in 2009 by Red Bull as a vehicle for their football ambitions in Germany, Die Roten Bullen went from the fifth division to Bundesliga runners-up in just seven years, reaching the Champions League in 2016 and winning the DFB-Pokal in 2023. Their red and white kits carry the Red Bull brand into Europe's most prestigious competitions, and their high-pressing style of football has attracted coaches including Ralph Hasenhuttl, Julian Nagelsmann, and Domenico Tedesco. Founded in 2009, RB Leipzig are based in Leipzig, Saxony, and compete in the Bundesliga, Germany's top division. They play at Red Bull Arena, which holds around 47,069 spectators. The club are nicknamed Die Roten Bullen (The Red Bulls). Major honours include the DFB-Pokal in 2022 to 2023, multiple Bundesliga runner-up finishes, and a Champions League semi-final appearance in 2019 to 2020. Their home colours are red and white. The red and white home kit of RB Leipzig is one of the most instantly recognisable in modern European football, worn as the club has stormed through the German football pyramid and into the Champions League in less than two decades. Nike have been the club's kit manufacturer since their rise through the divisions, producing sharp, modern designs that reflect a club built on athletic ambition. The kits worn during the 2019 to 2020 Champions League semi-final run, when Leipzig defeated Atletico Madrid to reach the last four, are among the most significant in the club's young history. The Red Bull branding makes these shirts unlike any other in German football.
