RB Leipzig, founded in 2009 by Red Bull GmbH, has rapidly risen through German football, reaching the Bundesliga in 2016, just seven years after its inception. Playing at the Red Bull Arena, the club, nicknamed “Die Roten Bullen” (The Red Bulls), secured its first major trophy by winning the DFB-Pokal in 2022, a feat they repeated in 2023. Their controversial corporate-backed ascent has sparked debate in Germany, challenging traditional club structures. Despite this, RB Leipzig has solidified its presence, reaching the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in 2020 and becoming a consistent force in European football.
