'''1. Fußball- und Sport-Verein Mainz 05 e. V.''', usually shortened to '''1. FSV Mainz 05''' or simply '''Mainz 05''' ({{IPA|de|ˌmaɪnts nʊl ˈfʏnf|-|De-Mainz 05.ogg}}), is a German professional [[sports club]], founded in 1905 and based in [[Mainz]], [[Rhineland-Palatinate]]. Mainz 05 play in the [[Bundesliga]], the top tier of the [[German football league system]], having most recently been promoted ahead of the [[2009–10 Fußball-Bundesliga|2009–10 season]]. The club's main local rivals are [[Eintracht Frankfurt]] and [[1. FC Kaiserslautern|Kaiserslautern]]. In addition to the football division, Mainz 05 have handball and table tennis departments.

==History==
===Early years===
A failed attempt to start a football club in the city in 1903 was followed up two years later by the successful creation of '''1. Mainzer Fussballclub Hassia 1905'''. After a number of years of play in the Süddeutschen Fußballverband (South German Football League), the club merged with FC Hermannia 07&nbsp;– the former football side of Mainzer TV 1817&nbsp;– to form '''1. Mainzer Fussballverein Hassia 05''', which dropped "Hassia" from its name in August 1912. Another merger after [[World War I]], in 1919, with Sportverein 1908 Mainz, resulted in the formation of '''1. Mainzer Fußball- und Sportverein 05'''. ''Die Nullfünfer'' ("05") was a solid club that earned several regional league championships in the period between the wars and qualified for the opening round of the national championships in 1921, after winning the [[Kreisliga Hessen]].<ref name="Anfang"/>

===Play during the Nazi era===
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the club played in the [[Bezirksliga Main-Hessen]]&nbsp;– Gruppe Hessen, and the results included first-place finishes in 1932 and 1933. The results merited the team a place in the [[Gauliga Südwest]], one of 16 new first-division leagues formed in the re-organization of German football under the [[Third Reich]]. The club played only a single season at that level before being relegated, due to the high intensity play that they were unable to keep up with.{{vague|date=January 2024}} Karl Scherm scored in 23 out of 44 matches with Mainz during his last season. In 1938, Mainz was forced into a merger with Reichsbahn SV Mainz and played as '''Reichsbahn SV Mainz 05''' until the end of [[World War II]].<ref name="Anfang"/>

===Long march to the Bundesliga===
[[File:Mainz Performance Chart.png|260px|thumb|Historical chart of 1. FSV Mainz league performance]]
After World War II, the club again joined the upper ranks of league play in Germany's [[Oberliga Südwest (1945-63)|Oberliga Südwest]], but were never better than a mid-table side. It played in the top flight until the founding of the new professional league, the [[Bundesliga]], in 1963 and would go on to play as a second division side for most of the next four decades.{{vague|date=January 2024|reason='but were never better...

The club returned to professional play with promotion to the [[2. Bundesliga]] for a single season in [[1988–89 2. Bundesliga|1988–89]] with Bodo Hertlein as president, before finally returning for an extended run in [[1990–91 2. Bundesliga|1990–91]]. Initially, they were perennial relegation candidates, struggling hard each season to avoid being sent down. However, under unorthodox trainer [[Wolfgang Frank]], Mainz became one of the first clubs in German football to adopt a flat four zone defence, as opposed to the then-popular man-to-man defence using a ''[[Libero (football)|libero]]''.<ref name="Bis Heute"/>

Mainz had three unsuccessful attempts to get to the top flight in [[1996–97 2. Bundesliga|1996–97]], [[2001–02 2. Bundesliga|2001–02]], and [[2002–03 2. Bundesliga|2002–03]], with close fourth-place finishes just out of the promotion zone. The last of those attempts stung{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} as they were denied promotion in the 93rd minute of the last match of the season. One year earlier, Mainz became the best non-promoted team of all time in the 2. Bundesliga, with 64 points accumulated. However, the club's persistence paid dividends{{technical inline|date=January 2024}} after promotion to the Bundesliga in [[2003–04 2. Bundesliga|2003–04]] under head coach [[Jürgen Klopp]]. The club played three seasons in the top flight, but were relegated at the end of the [[2006–07 Bundesliga|2006–07 season]]. Mainz secured promotion to the top flight again two years later, after the [[2008–09 2. Bundesliga|2008–09 season]].<ref name="Bis Heute"/>

Mainz also earned a spot in the [[2005–06 UEFA Cup]] in their debut Bundesliga season as Germany's nominee in the [[UEFA Respect Fair Play ranking|Fair Play]] draw which acknowledges positive play, respect for one's opponent, respect for the referee, the behaviour of the crowd and of team officials, as well as cautions and dismissals.{{vague|date=January 2024|reason=explain 'cautions and dismissals' for the reader. or provide links.}}<ref>{{cite web|title=Mainz set for European debut|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/01aa-0ea7de058e01-0213526488bf-1000--mainz-set-for-european-debut/|publisher=UEFA|access-date=4 August 2011|date=2 June 2005|archive-date=25 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120225190957/http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=307473.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Due to the Bruchweg stadium's limited capacity, the home matches in UEFA Cup were played in [[Frankfurt]]'s [[Commerzbank-Arena]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Mainz 05 weicht nach Frankfurt aus|url=http://www.netzeitung.de/sport/343332.html|publisher=netzeitung.de|access-date=4 August 2011|language=de|date=11 June 2005|archive-date=23 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120323104842/http://www.netzeitung.de/sport/343332.html|url-status=live}}</ref> After defeating Armenian club [[FC Mika|Mika]] and Icelandic club [[Keflavík ÍF|Keflavík]] in the qualifying rounds, Mainz lost to eventual champions [[Sevilla FC|Sevilla]] 2–0 on aggregate in the first round.<ref>{{cite web|title=Keine Sensation in Mainz, Sevilla siegt 2:0|url=http://www.n-tv.de/sport/Sevilla-siegt-2-0-article159552.html|publisher=n-tv.de|access-date=4 August 2011|language=de|date=29 September 2005|archive-date=19 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121019172746/http://www.n-tv.de/sport/Sevilla-siegt-2-0-article159552.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

On the final matchday of the [[2022–23 Bundesliga|2022–23 season]], Mainz secured a 2–2 draw against league leaders [[Borussia Dortmund]] at their stadium, causing the latter to lose the title to [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] on goal difference.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/borussia-dortmund-mainz-live-team-news-match-stats-champions-bellingham-reus-23583 |title=Heartache for Borussia Dortmund as Mainz draw hands title to Bayern Munich |publisher=Bundesliga |date=27 May 2023 }}</ref>

The [[2023–24 Bundesliga|2023–24 season]] was challenging for Mainz, as they spent most of it in 17th place, with only two wins by matchday 25. However, they drastically improved under coach [[Bo Henriksen]], remaining unbeaten in their last nine matches and winning five of them, including the final two against Borussia Dortmund and [[VfL Wolfsburg]].
