FC Eintracht Altona

Fußball-Club Eintracht Altona was an early German football club from Altona, then an independent city near Hamburg. The short-lived club is notable as one of the founding members of the German Football Association (Deutscher Fußball Bund) in 1900 in Leipzig, where they were represented by a former team captain[1] of SC Victoria Hamburg, Walter Sommeyer (also written Sommeier).[2][3]
