VfB Stuttgart is one of Germany's longest-standing and culturally rich football clubs. Founded in 1893, VfB Stuttgart has stood for over a century and is still a source of pride in the city. We can fondly reference VfB Stuttgart as "Die Schwaben" (The Swabians), and "The Cannstatt Boys." VfB Stuttgart has combined history and traditions with modern ideals to create a brand with a reputation at home and abroad.
Currently, VfB Stuttgart competes in the Bundesliga and hosts sporting events at the MHPArena, a stadium that, at capacity over 60,000, is filled with fans and supporters. Now, under new leadership of Sebastian Hoeneß, VfB Stuttgart is striving, once again, to keep their historic prestige while aiming for future ambition, and progressing with their plan whilst on the pitch and off the pitch.
VfB Stuttgart's story is inextricably linked to the history of German football. The club is known for producing exceptional local talent and has been an important stop for German internationals (who went on to excel at the highest possible level).
VfB Stuttgart has had many golden periods, most notably in the 1950s and early 1990s, when they were lifting Bundesliga titles and establishing themselves among the best teams in Germany. Their most recent Bundesliga title came in 2007, which was their fifth domestic trophy.
While Stuttgart has had their ups and downs, including relegation and promotion, their resilience has defined their identity. The MHP Arena has always been a bit more than just a stadium; it has served as a cultural landmark in Stuttgart, representing unity and tradition in the surrounding region.
