The SC Rhein-Ahr Sinzig is a German football club from Sinzig . The association was founded in 1910.
Founding history
The founding goes back to an article in a Sinziger newspaper, which asked the residents to meet in a café in order to found a football club. That was in May 1910. The founding members elected Heinrich von Lennep as the first chairman of the association.
The sports field, where the team’s first games were played, originally served as a race track for the local cycling club . At the end of 1910, the racetrack was converted into a sports field.
