The FC Affing is a German association football club from the town of Affing, Bavaria.
The club's greatest success came in 2012 when it qualified for the new southern division of the expanded Bayernliga, the fifth tier of the German football league system.
For most of its history the club has been a non-describt amateur side in local Bavarian football. The club won promotion to the Bezirksliga Schwaben-Nord for the first time in 1995, for just two seasons before being relegated again. Affing returned to the Bezirksliga in 1998 and finished just above the relegation ranks in its first season back. After two more seasons where the side narrowly escaped relegation Affing improved, culminating in a league championship in 2002–03 and promotion to the Bezirksoberliga Schwaben.
FC Affing quickly adapted to the new league, coming fourth in its first year there and second the following season, thereby earning promotion to the Landesliga Bayern-Süd. The club spent the next six seasons in the Landesliga, initially with mid-table finishes but, in 2008–09, FC Affing finished second. This performance qualified the club for the promotion round to the Bayernliga but it was knocked out by SV Seligenporten, losing 3–0.
Affing stayed in the Landesliga and came fourth the following year but had adifficult 2010–11 season, finishing 16th and being relegated. Back in the Bezirksoberliga the team took out the league championship in its first season back. Changes to the league system in Bavaria at the end of the 2011–12 season meant the unique opportunity for the Bezirksoberliga champions to earn promotion to the Bayernliga and Affing was successful at that, overcoming TSV Landsberg and FC Gundelfingen in the process. The club thereby moved from the seventh to the fifth tier in a season, bypassing the level in between.
