Football city selection Hamburg
The Hamburg soccer city selection was the combination of soccer players from different soccer clubs of the Hamburg-Altonaer Fußball-Bund (HAFB, until 1907), in later years of the NFV district or Hamburg regional association to host "city games", which often had the character of friendly matches. Players from Altona and other places that are not (yet) part of the city of Hamburg were also nominated, so the term “association selection” is more appropriate.
history
City selection games took place at the end of the 19th century , most of them until 1963 . The HAFB team met Denmark for the first time in Altona as early as 1897 (0: 5); it was the first meeting of an official German with a foreign association selection. Frequent opponents in later decades were e.g. B. Berlin or Vienna . At times there was a home and away match each year.
