VfB Stuttgart

VfB Stuttgart is a German professional sports club based in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, best known for its association football team, which plays in the Bundesliga, the top division of German football. Its full name, Verein für Bewegungsspiele Stuttgart 1893 e. V., carries the year 1893 of the predecessor Stuttgarter Fußballverein, although the club in its present form came from a merger of that side with FC Krone Cannstatt in April 1912. The football team has won the German national championship five times, most recently in the 2006 to 2007 season, and the DFB-Pokal four times, and has taken the UEFA Intertoto Cup a record two times. Home games are played at the MHPArena in the Neckarpark, near the Cannstatter Wasen. The club is a membership association with more than 100,000 members, and it also runs amateur departments for fistball, field hockey, track and field, table tennis and football referees.
