'''FC Gelsenkirchen-Schalke 04''', commonly '''FC Schalke 04''', is a [[Germany|German]] [[association football|football]] [[List of football clubs in Germany|club]] originally from the Schalke district of [[Gelsenkirchen]], [[North Rhine-Westphalia]]. Schalke has long been one of the most popular football teams in Germany, even though major successes have been rare since the club's heyday in the 1930s and early 1940s. The football team is the biggest part of a large sports club with more than 75,000 members (September 2008) making it the second largest sports club in Germany. Other activities offered by the club include [[basketball]], [[team handball|handball]], and [[Athletics (track and field)|track and field]]. FC Schalke 04 won its first major European trophy in 1997 by defeating [[F.C. Internazionale Milano]] on penalty kicks for the [[UEFA Cup]] in Milan.

==History==
==History==
The school was named after Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, a [[Spain|Spanish]] [[conquistador]], who between 1540 and 1542 visited [[New Mexico]] and other parts of the southwestern portion of what is now the [[United States]]. It was opened during the 2001-2002 school year, with the first official graduating class in 2002-2003.
===Schalke's early years===
The club was founded on [[May 4]], [[1904]] as '''Westfalia Schalke''' by a group of high school students and first wore the colors red and yellow. The team was unable to gain admittance to the Westdeutscher Spielverband and played as one of the "wild associations" of early German football. In 1912, after a number of years of failed attempts to join the official league, they merged with the gymnastic club '''Schalker Turnverein 1877''' in order to facilitate their entry. This arrangement held up until 1915 when '''SV Westfalia Schalke''' was re-established as an independent club. The separation proved short-lived and the two came together again in 1919 as '''Turn- und Sportverein Schalke 1877'''. The new club won its first honours in 1923 as champions of the Schalke Kreisliga. It was around this time that ''Schalke'' picked up the nickname "Die Knappen" – from an old German word for miner – because the team drew so many of its players and supporters from the coal mine workers of Gelsenkirchen.

In 1924, the football team parted ways with the gymnasts once again – this time taking the club chairman along with them. They took the name '''FC Schalke 04''' and adopted the now familiar blue and white uniforms from which their second nickname would derive – "Die Königsblauen" ({{lang-en|The Royal Blues}}). The following year the club became the dominant local side based on a style of play that used short, sharp man-to-man passing to move the ball. This system would later become famous as the "Schalker Kreisel" ({{lang-en|spinning top}}). In 1927, it carried them into the top-flight Gauliga Ruhr, onto the league championship, and then into the opening rounds of the national finals.

===Rise to dominance===
The popular club built a new stadium, the Glückauf-Kampfbahn, in 1928, and acknowledged the city's support by re-naming themselves '''FC Gelsenkirchen-Schalke 04'''. They won their first Western German championship in 1929, but the following year were sanctioned for exceeding salary levels set by the league and, in an era that considered professionalism in sport anathema, found themselves banned from play for nearly half a year. However, the ban had little impact on the team's popularity: in their first game after the ban against [[Fortuna Düsseldorf]] in June 1931, the team drew 70,000 to its home ground.

With the re-organization of German football in 1933 under [[Nazi Germany]], Schalke found themselves in the [[Gauliga Westfalen]], one of sixteen top-flight divisions established to replace the innumerable regional and local leagues all claiming top status. After many years of being dominant regionally, ''Schalke'' finally made a breakthrough on the national level when they advanced to the German championship match that year against Düsseldorf, where they lost 0&ndash;3. That advance set the team up for the most successful decade in their history: from 1933 to 1942 the club would appear in 14 of 18 national finals - 10 in the German championship and 8 in the ''Tschammerpokal'', the predecessor to today's [[DFB-Pokal|German Cup]].

===The championship years 1934-42===
Schalke's first national title came in 1934 with a 2&ndash;1 victory over favourites [[1. FC Nuremberg]]. The next year they defended their title against [[VfB Stuttgart]] in a 6&ndash;4 win. The club missed the 1937 final, but would make appearances in the championship match in each of the next six years coming away victorious in 1937, 1939, 1940, and 1942. Three of those national finals were against Austrian teams – [[VfB Admira Wacker Mödling|Admira Vienna]], [[SK Rapid Wien|Rapid Vienna]], and [[First Vienna FC|First Vienna]] – which played in Germany's Gauliga Ostmark after Austria's incorporation into the Reich through the [[Anschluss]] in 1938.

"Die Königsblauen" also made frequent appearances in the final of the Tschammerpokal, but enjoyed much less success there. They lost the inaugural Tschammerpokal 0:2 to Nūrnberg in 1935. They also made failed appearances in the 1936, 1941, and 1942 finals with their only Cup victory coming in 1937 against Düsseldorf.

Over a dozen seasons from 1933 to 1945 Schalke accumulated an astounding record, winning 162 of 189 Gauliga matches, drawing 21 and losing only 6. On the way they scored 924 goals and gave up just 145. From 1935 to 1939 they did not lose a single league match. The club's dominance throughout this period led them to be held up for propaganda purposes by the [[Nazism|Nazi]] regime as an example of the "new Germany". This was despite the fact that many players were descended from Polish immigrants, most notably the two stars of the team, [[Fritz Szepan]] and [[Ernst Kuzorra]].

===Postwar football===
With Germany in chaos towards the end of [[World War II]], Schalke played just two matches in 1945. They resumed regular play following the war and for a time continued to compete as a strong side. They set a record in a national championship match with a 20:0 drubbing of [[SpVgg Herten]], but that spoke more to the weakened condition of German football than the ability of the team. Schalke's play fell off and the best they could manage in the new Oberliga West in 1947 was a sixth place finish: within two years they slipped to 12th place. It would take them until the mid-50s to recover their form. They finished third in a tight three-way race for the 1954 Oberliga West title decided on the last day of the season. The following year they appeared in the German Cup final where they lost 2:3 to [[Karlsruher SC]]. The club's next German championship came in 1958 with a 3:0 victory over [[Hamburger SV]]. This is their last national championship title to date.

===Entry to the Bundesliga===
Schalke continued to play well in the years leading up to the formation of the [[Fußball-Bundesliga|Bundesliga]], Germany's new professional league, in 1963, delivering a number of top four finishes. Those results earned them selection as one of sixteen sides admitted to the top flight league.

Their first years in the Bundesliga were difficult. In 1965, they escaped relegation only through the expansion of the league to eighteen teams . A number of finishes far down the league table followed, before a marked improvement culminating in a second place finish to [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] in 1972 after having led the league for much of the season. In the same year, Schalke won the German Cup for the second time in its history.

===The Bundesliga Scandal of 1971===
Despite their improved results, the seeds of a major reversal had already been sown. A number of the team's players and officials were accused of accepting bribes as part of the widespread Bundesliga scandal of 1971. Investigation showed that Schalke had played so as to deliberately lose their [[May 17]] 28th round match against [[Arminia Bielefeld]] by a score of 0&ndash;1. As a result several ''Schalke'' players were banned for life, including three - [[Klaus Fischer]], [[Reinhard Libuda|"Stan" Libuda]] and [[Klaus Fichtel]] - who were with the German national team of the time. Even though the penalties were later commuted to bans ranging from six months to two years, the scandal had a profound effect on what might have become one of the dominant German teams of the 1970s.

===Crisis and recovery===
In 1973, the club moved to the [[Parkstadion]], newly built for the [[1974 World Cup]] and having a capacity of 70,000 spectators. In the wake of the scandal, the club's performance was uneven. They managed another second place result in 1977, finishing just one point behind champions [[Borussia Mönchengladbach]].

In the early 1980s ''Die Knappen'' ran into trouble and found themselves relegated to the [[2. Fußball-Bundesliga|2.Bundesliga]] for the 1981&ndash;82 season and again in 1983-84. They returned to the top flight in 1984, and after slipping once more to tier II in 1988, have stayed up as a Bundesliga side since 1991-92. The club earned their first honours since winning the German Cup in 1972 with a victory in the 1997 [[UEFA Cup]] over [[Italy|Italian]] side [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Inter Milan]] on penalties.

The turn of the millennium has seen much stronger performances from Schalke. During the 1990s and early 2000, the club underwent a successful transformation into a modern commercial sports organization and established itself as one of the dominant teams of the Bundesliga. Schalke captured consecutive German Cups in 2001&ndash;02, and earned second place finishes in the Bundesliga in 2001, 2005 and 2007. The [[Fußball-Bundesliga 2000-01|2001]] finish was heartbreaking for supporters of ''Die Königsblauen'' as it took a goal in the 4th minute of injury time by Bayern away to Hamburg to snatch the title.

===Current===
The last three years has been more successful for Schalke finishing second place in 2005, which lead to Schalke making its second appearance in the [[UEFA Champions League 2005-06|UEFA Champions League]]. There, Schalke finished in 3rd place during the group stage, with successful continuation in the [[UEFA Cup 2005-06|UEFA Cup]], where Schalke was eliminated by the eventual winner of the cup [[Sevilla FC]] in the semifinal. In 2006 Schalke finished in 4th place in the Bundesliga and a year later they once again finished as runners-up (for the 3rd time in 7 seasons). In [[UEFA Champions League 2007-08|2007/08]], Schalke managed to make it past the [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] group stage for the first time in team history, then advanced to the quarter finals after beating [[FC Porto]] on penalties.

On [[October 9]], [[2006]], it was announced that Russian company [[Gazprom]] would become the club's new sponsor. The company expects to invest as much as € 125 million in the club over a 5½ year period. <ref>http://football.guardian.co.uk/breakingnews/feedstory/0,,-6138335,00.html</ref> Within the sponsorship Schalke 04 and [[FC Zenit Saint Petersburg]] signed a partnership agreement. Both clubs intend to work closely on improving football-related issues.

On April 13, 2008 the club announced the dismissal of manager Mirko Slomka after a heavy defeat at the hands of [[Werder Bremen]] and elimination from the [[UEFA Champions League 2007-08|Champions League]]. Former players Mike Büskens and Youri Mulder were put in charge of the first team on an interim basis.

For the current [[Fußball-Bundesliga 2008-09|Bundesliga season 2008&ndash;09]], Schalke signed a new head coach, [[Fred Rutten]], before that being the manager of the Dutch team [[FC Twente]]. He signed a contract running until June 2010.<ref>{{cite web|title="Rutten named new Schalke boss"|author=FC Schalke 04 official website|date=2008-04-23|accessdate=2008-08-16|url=http://www.schalke04.de/news_single_english.html?&tx_ttnews&#91;pS&#93;=1218912520&tx_ttnews&#91;pointer&#93;=2&tx_ttnews&#91;tt_news&#93;=11807&tx_ttnews&#91;backPid&#93;=1921&cHash=63f6c0add1}}</ref>



==Stadium==
[[Image:Arena auf schalke gelsenkirchen germany.JPG|thumb|right|240px|The Veltins-Arena]]
The club's [[stadium]], known as the [[Veltins-Arena]] under a sponsorship agreement with a [[brewery]], was completed in the summer of 2001 and has a capacity of 61,673 spectators. ''Schalke'' regularly draws sell-out crowds to what is widely regarded as one of the most modern and best multi-use facilities in Europe. The facility was previously known as the Arena AufSchalke and replaced the [[Parkstadion]] (capacity 71,000) built in 1973. Prior to this the club had played its matches in the Glückauf-Kampfbahn constructed in 1928 with a capacity of 35,000. The facility was used for amateur matches during its latter years with a reduced capacity of just 5,000.
