Why are Eintracht Frankfurt called Die Adler?
Eintracht Frankfurt's 'Die Adler' nickname means 'the Eagles' — a symbol of the club's proud, soaring identity.
An Eagle Takes Flight
Eintracht Frankfurt are known as Die Adler — "the Eagles" — and at Metaverse Football Club we find it a nickname as proud as the bird it names. The name comes from the eagle that appears on the club crest and the city of Frankfurt's coat of arms.
Founded in 1899, Eintracht adopted the eagle as its symbol, and a live eagle named Attila famously flies around the stadium before matches. Die Adler reflects the club's proud, combative spirit and its deep Frankfurt roots.
A Symbol of the Main
The eagle ties Eintracht to Frankfurt's identity as a proud, free imperial city. At Metaverse Football Club, we love how a city's ancient symbol soars over a modern football club.
From the Deutsche Bank Park to the Bundesliga, Die Adler soar — a story Metaverse Football Club is proud to share.
