Locations in Georgia

The Fountain City Classic is an annual American football game featuring Fort Valley State University and Albany State University, two of Georgia's historically black universities. The game is played at A. J. McClung Memorial Stadium in Columbus, Georgia.

History

Albany State and Fort Valley State first played in 1924, and the rivalry game officially became known as the Fountain City Classic in 1990. FVSU leads the series 45–40–4, following Albany State's 13–7 win in 2023.

The first postwar meeting of the two schools was in 1945, when FVSU beat ASU, 27–21. The two schools did not play each other in 1946 and 1947. While the rivalry between the two teams spans more than half a century, FCC officials moved the game to Columbus in 1990 to attract more corporate support.
