Sport-Club Freiburg e.V., commonly known as SC Freiburg (German pronunciation: [ʔɛs ˈtseː ˈfʁaɪbʊɐ̯k]), is a German professional football club, based in the city of Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-Württemberg. It plays in the Bundesliga, having been promoted as champions from the 2. Bundesliga in 2016.

Key Information

Between 1954 and 2021, Freiburg's stadium was the Dreisamstadion; the club moved to the newly built Europa-Park Stadion in 2021.

History

[edit]

Early history

[edit]

The club traces its origins to a pair of clubs founded in 1904: Freiburger Fußballverein 04 was organised in March of that year; FC Schwalbe Freiburg just two months later.[citation needed] Both clubs underwent name changes, with Schwalbe becoming FC Mars in 1905, Mars becoming Union Freiburg in 1906, and FV 04 Freiburg becoming Sportverein Freiburg 04 in 1909.[citation needed] Three years later, SV and Union formed Sportclub Freiburg, at the same time incorporating the griffin head.

In 1918, after World War I, SC Freiburg entered a temporary arrangement with Freiburger FC to be able to field a full side called KSG Freiburg.[citation needed] The next year, SC Freiburg associated themselves with FT 1844 Freiburg as that club's football department, until 1928 when they left to enter into a stadium-sharing arrangement with PSV (Polizeisportverein) Freiburg 1924 that lasted until 1930 and the failure of PSV.[citation needed] SC Freiburg then started again with FT 1844 Freiburg in 1938. The club played first in the Bezirksliga Baden in 1928, then in the Gauliga Baden, from which they were relegated in 1934.

At the end of World War II, Allied occupation authorities disbanded most existing organizations in Germany, including football and sports clubs. The clubs reconstituted themselves after about a year, but were required to take on new names in an attempt to disassociate them from Nazis. SC Freiburg was therefore briefly known as VfL Freiburg. By 1950, French-occupation authorities allowed the clubs to reclaim their old identities. Finally, in 1952, SC Freiburg left FT Freiburg behind again.

Historical chart of Freiburg league performance

Through the 1930s, SC Freiburg played in the Bezirkliga (II), in the Gauliga Baden (I), winning local titles. After World War II, they resumed playing in the Amateurliga Südbaden (III).

The Finke era with ten Bundesliga seasons (1991–2007)

[edit]

SC Freiburg were promoted to the 2. Bundesliga in 1978–79, which they would compete in for a decade-and-a-half before making the breakthrough to the top-flight Bundesliga in 1993–94 under the management of Volker Finke. In their first Bundesliga season, Freiburg narrowly avoided relegation. They made a third-place finish in their second season at the top level, finishing third, just three points behind champions Borussia Dortmund. It was at this time that they were first nicknamed Breisgau-Brasilianer (literally Breisgau-Brazilians), due to their attractive style of play.

The club's reached the UEFA Cup in 1995 and 2001.

Freiburg's first Bundesliga relegation was in 1997 after they finished in 17th position. While they have been relegated four times since first making the Bundesliga, they have thrice won immediate promotion back to the top league. It was the first time since 1992 that Freiburg played in the 2. Bundesliga for two consecutive seasons.

Freiburg finished the 2006–07 season in fourth place in the 2. Bundesliga, missing out on the third automatic-promotion spot on goal difference to MSV Duisburg, although they won 12 of their last 16 league games. They were knocked out of the DFB-Pokal in the second round by VfL Wolfsburg on 24 October 2006.

On 20 May 2007, Volker Finke resigned as the club's coach after 16 years in the job. He was succeeded by Robin Dutt, who himself left the club for Bayer Leverkusen in 2011.

On 10 May 2009, Freiburg secured promotion into the Bundesliga once again, beating TuS Koblenz in an away game 5–2.

Streich era

[edit]
SC Freiburg against Borussia Dortmund in 2012

In the 2011–12 season, a coaching change by appointing Christian Streich, with the club finishing 12th. Under Christian Streich, the 2012–13 Bundesliga season saw the club finish in fifth place, their best league standing since 1994–95. The fifth-place finish secured a position in the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League. Had Freiburg defeated Schalke 04 on the final matchday of the season, Freiburg would have advanced further in the league table against Schalke and qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in club history. The 1–2 defeat to Schalke, however, saw Schalke secure fourth place in the league and qualify for the tournament instead.[2][3] During the 2012–13 season, Freiburg also advanced to the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal for the first time in the club's history, but lost to local rivals VfB Stuttgart 1–2, and missed the chance to play Bayern Munich in the final.[4]

In the 2014–15 season, after six years in the top flight, Freiburg was relegated to the 2. Bundesliga by a single point after a final-day defeat at Hannover 96. This was despite beating Bayern Munich in the second-last game. In the following season, however, the club earned its fifth promotion to the Bundesliga, with two matches to spare. The first season back in the Bundesliga saw them end seventh. This saw Freiburg qualify for the Europa League, as German cupwinners Borussia Dortmund were already qualified for the Champions League. The side were eliminated in the third qualification round against NK Domžale from Slovenia. Freiburg stayed in the top flight, finishing 15th.

In the 2021–22 season Freiburg reached the final of the DFB-Pokal for the first time. In the league Freiburg finished sixth to qualify to the next season's Europa League, where they reached the round of 16.[5] In the following season, they finished fifth in the league to achieve another direct qualification to the Europa League group stage, despite being in the Champions League spots most of the season; however, two consecutive losses against rivals RB Leipzig and Union Berlin had them drop down in the league table with two games remaining. In the DFB-Pokal of the same season, defeated Bayern Munich 2–1 in the quarter-finals, in an away match for the first time in their history,[6] before losing in the semi-finals at home 1–5 to RB Leipzig.[7]

Post-Streich years

[edit]

In March 2024, it was announced that Streich's assistant coach, Julian Schuster, would take over as head coach of the club.[8] During the 2024–25 season, Freiburg reached the Champions League spots, climbing to fourth place after a crucial away win against Wolfsburg on matchday 31.[9] However, a 3–1 home defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt on the final matchday saw them drop to fifth place and Europa League qualification, narrowly missing out on the Champions League for the fifth time following 2001, 2013, 2022, and 2023.[10][11]

Reserve team

[edit]
Main article: SC Freiburg II

The club's reserve team, formerly the SC Freiburg Amateure, now SC Freiburg II, has, for the most part of its history played in the lower amateur leagues. It made a three-season appearance in the tier four Verbandsliga Südbaden from 1983 to 1986, but then took until 1994 to return to this league. In 1998 the team won promotion to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg after a league championship in the Verbandsliga. Freiburg II spent the next ten seasons at this level as an upper table side before another league championship took the team to the Regionalliga Süd. After four seasons at this league the team became part of the new Regionalliga Südwest in 2012. After a seventh place in its first season in the league the team finished runner-up in 2013–14.

A South Baden Cup win in 2001 qualified it for the first round of the 2001–02 DFB-Pokal, the German Cup, where it lost to Schalke 04.

Stadium

[edit]
Dreisamstadion interior in 2011

SC Freiburg formerly played its home games at the Dreisamstadion, named after the Dreisam River which flows through Freiburg. Because of sponsorship agreements, the stadium was known as the Schwarzwald-Stadion. The stadium has an approximate capacity of 24,000 spectators, and was built in 1953. Forty years later, then manager Volker Finke began an initiative to transform the Dreisamstadion into Germany's first solar powered football stadium. There are solar modules on the north, south, and main tribunes. These panels generate 250,000 kWh of energy per year.[12][13]

The new Europa-Park Stadion[14][15] designed by HPP Architekten, was completed in October 2021. Located in the west of the city in a part of the city called Brühl — immediately to the west of Freiburg Airport — it has a capacity of 34,700.[16][17][18][19][20]

Sponsorship

[edit]

In April 2022, the team announced their sponsorship with car retailer Cazoo starting in July 2022. The Cazoo brand is visible on the front of the new jerseys as the team's main sponsor. In addition to the Bundesliga professionals, Cazoo appeared as shirt sponsor and advertising partner of the second team of SC Freiburg in the third division and as co-sponsor of the Freiburg Football School, and became visible at all matches of the SC junior teams. Cazoo also became a co-sponsor and sleeve sponsor of SC Freiburg's Bundesliga women.

History

Early years (1904–1993)

The origins of SC Freiburg trace back to two separate football clubs founded in 1904 in Freiburg im Breisgau. The Freiburger Fußballverein 1904, established in March by high school students and adopting white-and-black colors, played its first match on May 8 and joined the Verband Süddeutscher Fußballvereine in October, competing in the B-Klasse Oberrhein. Concurrently, FC Schwalbe Freiburg was formed in the Stühlinger district, initially playing on the Klaramatten fields. In 1905, FC Schwalbe renamed itself FC Mars and relocated to the Exerzierplatzgelände, where it crossed paths with Freiburger Fußballverein 1904, which secured the B-Klasse Oberrhein title that year. Both clubs continued in regional amateur competitions, with Freiburger Fußballverein 1904 repeating as B-Klasse champions in 1906 despite failed attempts to secure a dedicated pitch from the city council. By 1907, Freiburger Fußballverein 1904 had moved to Günterstal, while FC Mars joined the Verband Süddeutscher Fußballvereine and entered the C-Klasse. FC Mars won the C-Klasse title in 1908 and renamed itself FC Union, adopting black-and-yellow colors, before relocating to the Eschholzwiesen pitch in 1909. Both clubs advanced to the B-Klasse Oberrhein by 1910–1911, with Freiburger Fußballverein 1904 renaming to Sportverein Freiburg 1904. On March 3, 1912, Sportverein Freiburg 1904 and FC Union merged to form Sport-Club Freiburg, with Dr. Alfred Rohrer as the founding chairman; the new club adopted black-white-yellow/gold colors, established its base at the Ganterbrauerei-Ausschank on Schiffstraße, and immediately created a youth department. In its inaugural 1913 season, SC Freiburg finished fourth in the A-Klasse, marking a solid start in regional play. The club undertook a friendly tour to Italy just before World War I in 1914, during which the griffin symbol first appeared as its emblem under chairman Oskar Mattes. Wartime disruptions halted official matches in 1915, but the club resumed in 1916, securing second place in Bezirk 2, Gau Oberrhein. By 1917, SC Freiburg won the Bezirk 2 championship and the Oberrhein-Meisterschaft against SV Straßburg, though it lost the Südkreismeisterschaft final to SC Stuttgart; the sports field was requisitioned for wartime agriculture that year. In 1918, amid ongoing conflict, the club formed a joint "Kriegsmannschaft" with Freiburger FC, winning both the Oberrhein- and Südkreismeisterschaft, with Hermann Weber becoming the first SC Freiburg player selected for a higher representative team; by war's end, over 40 members had perished. Postwar, from 1919 to 1923, SC Freiburg operated as the football department of Freiburger Turnerschaft, utilizing fields on Schwarzwaldstraße and establishing an office at Siegmund Günzburger’s cigar shop. The combined entity won the A-Klasse Oberrhein in 1920, earning promotion to Kreisliga Südwest, but was relegated in 1923, prompting SC Freiburg's independence and the launch of the "SC-Rundschau" magazine; that year, Oskar Müller became the first SC player to represent the German national team. In 1924, the club celebrated its 20th anniversary, won the Kreisklasse Südbaden for promotion to Bezirksliga Württemberg-Baden, and designed its official badge. Notable results included a 2:1 upset victory over 1. FC Nürnberg in 1928 at Winterer-Stadion and a fourth-place finish in Bezirksliga in 1932, alongside the handball team's Badischer Meister title that year. Key figures during this era included honorary manager Ludwig Siegel (1921), the first full-time manager Hermann Büchele (1925), and national team player Oskar Müller. The rise of the Nazi regime profoundly impacted SC Freiburg from 1933 onward. That year, the (DFB) barred Jewish and communist individuals from leadership, leading to the club's "" under NSDAP-aligned Ludwig Sieder as "Vereinsführer," with a sixth-place finish in Württemberg-Baden. In 1934, the club entered the newly formed Baden but was relegated, prompting a revenue-generating friendly tour to France. It reclaimed the Oberbaden title in 1935 and rejected a city-proposed merger with . Despite winning in 1936, promotion to failed, and the Winterer-Stadion was lost to the in 1937, following another Freiburg championship. In 1938, SC Freiburg rejoined Freiburger Turnerschaft and played at its grounds under new "Vereinsführer" , again winning Freiburg. saw continued regional success: fourth in Freiburg (1939), second (1940), and champions (1941) for promotion to Bereichsliga, though relegated in 1942 after finishing last. The club earned promotion again in 1943 via second place in Breisgau but ended last in Bereichsliga in 1944; the club home was destroyed in an air raid on , 1944. Both Freiburger Turnerschaft and SC Freiburg were dissolved by Allied occupation forces in 1945, though friendly matches resumed in October. Postwar reconstruction began in 1946 under French occupation, with SC Freiburg temporarily renaming to VfL Freiburg and qualifying for Zonenliga Süd after third place in Südbaden. Officially re-established as VfL Freiburg in 1947, it reached the Südbadischer Pokal final in 1949 (losing 1:2 to VfL ) before reverting to its original name within Freiburger Turnerschaft von 1844/Sport-Club. Qualifying for 1. Amateurliga Südbaden in 1950 with a 12th-place finish in Zonenliga Süd, the club legally re-founded as SC Freiburg e.V. in 1952 under chairman Hubert Pfaff, adopting white-and-red colors and playing at Hindenburgstadion. It finished seventh in Amateurliga in 1953 as Dreisamstadion construction started, and played its first match at the new SC-Platz an der Dreisam (later ) in 1955, ending 14th that season. The best postwar amateur result came in 1962 with seventh place. Figures like Willi Trapp (1951) and Erwin Kramer (1963) served as honorary match leaders. The 1960s and 1970s marked gradual ascent through amateur ranks. Celebrating its 60th anniversary in 1964 under chairman Helmut Köbele, the club inaugurated the "Dreisamblick" clubhouse. Coach Hans Diehl led Amateurliga Südbaden titles in 1965 and 1968, but promotion to Regionalliga Süd eluded them both times; finishes were ninth (1966), 10th (1967), and 12th (1969). The was officially named in 1967, with the south stand completed in 1970 (480 covered seats). Achim Stocker became chairman in 1970 (serving until 2009), and the club placed fourth in Amateurliga that year. Under coach Manfred Brief from 1972, results included eighth (1972), seventh (1973), sixth (1974), runner-up (1975 with Südbadischer Verbandspokal win 2:1 over VfB ), sixth (1976), and runner-up (1977). The 70th anniversary in 1974 saw the department founded, and women's football established in 1975. In 1978, Brief's team won the Amateurliga Südbaden title and secured promotion to 2.
