History
FC Pinzgau Saalfelden was founded on 23 May 2007 after the merger of the town's football clubs 1. Saalfeldner SK (founded in 1947) and ESV Saalfelden (founded in 1952), although the two clubs had previous partnered as SG Saalfelden from 2004 to 2007.[2]
In December 2019, Fan Owned Club, Inc. finalized a purchase agreement to operate FC Pinzgau Saalfelden. Fan Owned Club allowed fans to buy shares which gave them insider access to the team and operations. After this purchase the team was used for player development by various Major League Soccer teams, who loan out young players for short stints.[3]
In December 2024, Fan Owned Club closed due to financial issues.
