FSV Mainz 05 (full name: 1. Fußball- und Sport-Verein Mainz 05 e.V.) was founded on March 16, 1905, in Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The club experienced several mergers during its early history. A significant milestone came in 2003-04 when the club was first promoted to the Bundesliga under manager Jürgen Klopp, who would later gain international recognition at Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool.

Mainz's best Bundesliga finish came in the 2010-11 season when they reached 5th place, qualifying for the UEFA Europa League. They also earned a spot in the 2005-06 UEFA Cup through the Fair Play draw. The club's youth academy has been successful, winning the German U19 championship in 2009 and 2023. In recent years, they secured a significant draw against Borussia Dortmund on the final matchday of the 2022-23 season that impacted the Bundesliga title race.

The club maintains local rivalries with Eintracht Frankfurt and Kaiserslautern. Beyond football, Mainz also operates handball and table tennis departments and is active in community service through its charity 'Mainz 05 hilft e.V.'
