Welcome to VfB Stuttgart

VfB’s current coat of arms was first used from 1949 to 1994, from winning the German championship in 1950 to participating in the Champions League in 1992/93. The VfB lettering is on top of it, created by art collector and VfB player Hermann Stammler, and underneath, the club’s year of establishment, 1893. The three sets of stag antlers are derived from the Württemberg regional coat of arms and have been part of VfB’s coat of arms since the merger of FV Stuttgart and Kronen-Klub Cannstatt in 1912. The club’s colours have been white and red since the merger. The ring around the chest has been a striking feature of the club’s strip since 1925; there isn’t really anything like it anywhere else in European football. As a red ring around the chest of a white jersey, it embodies an external symbol of the unity and cohesion of the entire VfB family. It is the common denominator that keeps the team, the fans and the club together.

VfB stands for sustainably successful youth work. At present, over 100 players who spent three years or more training in the club’s youth team are active in Europe’s highest professional leagues, including athletes such as Antonio Rüdiger, Joshua Kimmich, Bernd Leno, Timo Werner, Sebastian Rudy, Serge Gnabry and Timo Baumgartl. With ten A junior championships and seven B junior championships, VfB Stuttgart is Germany’s record-holder.

VfB Stuttgart 1893 e.V. set up its women’s football department on 1 June 2021. This satisfied the long-held desire of many VfB members to offer women’s and girl’s football at the club. VfB Stuttgart 1893 e.V. collaborated with VfB Obertürkheim, one of the leading sports clubs for women’s and girls’ football in the region, to construct and expand the department. All the information on the cooperation club can be found here.

VfB took on the running of the games for the VfB Women I(now AG), II and U17 (e.V.) in the 2022/23 season. VfB Women II are currently playing in the regional league, while VfB Women U17 were promoted in the first season and are currently facing teams in the B junior upper league for Baden-Württemberg.

Nowadays, acting sustainably is part and parcel of our modern culture. VfB Stuttgart aligns its sustainable activities with the three dimensions of sustainability: economic, environmental and social. In so doing, it follows the United Nations’ global sustainability goals.

In the long term, VfB Stuttgart is aiming to develop into one of the most responsible football clubs in Germany. Improving its greenhouse gas balance, across all three scopes, is a core area of focus, as the emissions generated have a very negative impact on the environment. It calculates its carbon accounting annually at the start of each year.

Three FIFA pro gamers are on the current VfB squad in total: Erhan “Dr.Erhano” Kayman, Marcel “Marlut” Lutz and up-and-coming talent Lukas “Lukas_1004” Seiler appear as virtual boys from Cannstatt. A successful start with strong partners

The gamers in white and red started the VBL Club Championship with two wins over the pro gamers from Schalke 04 and Mainz 05. The FIFA pro gamers are supported by VfB’s partners fischer, who have been with the VfB esports team from the off, and Mercedes-Benz Bank. As part of the VBL, both partners appear digitally with in-game bands at the home games of VfB Stuttgart and various logos.
