RB Leipzig is a German football club based in Leipzig, Saxony. Founded in 2009, the club has quickly risen through the ranks of German football. They gained promotion to the Bundesliga, the top tier of German football, for the first time in the 2016-2017 season. RB Leipzig's home venue is the Red Bull Arena, which has a seating capacity of over 42,000 spectators. The club is often referred to as "Die Roten Bullen" (The Red Bulls) due to their association with Red Bull, the energy drink company that owns the club. Despite their relatively short history, RB Leipzig has already achieved notable success. In the 2016-2017 season, they finished as runners-up in the Bundesliga, securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League. This achievement was particularly impressive considering it was their debut season in the top flight. RB Leipzig's rapid ascent in German football has made them an intriguing and polarizing club in the footballing world.
